Johnson spoon

[dogonenuts]

The spoon you redfisherman talk about, is that the one with one weedless hook soldered to the spoon or a treble hook hanging off of the spoon?

Thanks,

I perfer the one with treble hooks, just seems to work better for me. I also like the wobble rite spoon better

Pretty much any gold spoon in the proper size will work. It's easier to hook fish on one with a treble hook, but it's easier to hook everything else, too, oysterbars, weeds, rocks, etc.

Just for info:

Treble hooks are OK to use on artificial lures, but a number of Florida fish can not be caught using live or dead natural baits with a treble hook. Years ago we all used treble hooks when fishing for trout with live shrimp under a float - we can't do that anymore. If you look closely at FWC's Florida Saltwater Regulations summary, you'll see that Black Drum, Flounder, Permit & Pompano, Red Drum, Sheepshead, Snook, Sea Trout, Trippletail, Weakfish, and a few other fish have a footnote marker (looks like a "T") which refers you to the tiny print at the bottom of the page. The tiny print tells you that these fish can't be caught with live or dead natural bait and a treble hook.

Now for the question of the day:

If you tip that gold spoon w/trailing treble with something smelly..did that just become a no no?
