No doubt. He's totally dependant on that one brand/color spoon. However, on several occasions, I've matched him, fish for fish, out of the same boat, with a different spoon.

I agree the best advice that's been given is if you ain't catchin reds on a spoon, they ain't there. Most of the time I use gold. They all work. Find the fish and you'll catch um.

Now, Mr. Birddog, I almost admire your diplomacy. I would admire it if I didn't know it was pure BS.

(For those that might not know, Mr. Birddog and I are what ya might call friends. )

I recon I'll just stick with the "Gold" only cause thats what I have for now. If I hear some good news bout this "Copper spoon" I might look into increasing my collection !

BK, I haven't tried copper. I'll add my usual statement about any bait. 90% of the baits manufactured today are designed to catch fishermen. Some catch fish. In addition, because of conditions, presentation and past success, what works for me might not work for you. I have a hand full of confidence baits. I like the Red Ripper spoons. Birddog likes a different brand spoon. They both work well. My advise to anyone would be to keep your string wet. If you ain't out there trying, you ain't gonna catch fish. If anyone fishes enough, they will wind up with a few confidence baits. There is absolutely no substitute for time spent on the water.

On those occasions, you could have caught'em on a bare hook.

That is correct. My point, exactly.

It would not be prudent at this time to single out any particular spoon color. In the society in which we fish in today, we should strive to make all spoon colors equal, to allow all spoons of color to catch fish. I forsee a day when all spoons of color ........

Sounds like a certain someone I see in the news all the time!!

I like those Rippers too!!
Confidence Baits will always overcome the ones you "think" might work or what the magazines tell you. I know, I got a box full of crap I've seen in the magazines and on TV but I always seem to go back to "old reliable", aka, my "secret weapon"
Find a bait you like (well, one that does catch fish) and it will always catch fish for you!

And for those other baits, well, "Even the Sun-shines on a dog's butt every now and then!"

Are "reds" hittin' the bars in the flats now. With this heat ?

Yes. They like it hot and they like it cold. And they're usually hungry when you find them.
