So I am seeking opinions from spoon fishers.
As we see from many spoons purchased over the counter, some come with a swivel off the front solid ring, some come with a solid ring only, some come with split ring and swivel, others just a split ring.
I personally prefer a solid brass ring off the nose of the spoon with no swivel, and tie directly to that. I then place a swivel or bead chain off the bottom of the flasher or on the leader above the spoon if no flasher is used. I think this gives the proper action the spoon was intended to have. In my opinion, a swivel on the nose of the spoon just takes away its action.
What is your preference and do you think that the swivel at the nose of the spoon happens or changes the action.
What's your opinion ......
Good luck out there ..... HT
