rr56- They are a lure, that is usually trolled rather than casted. Kinda a cross between a spoon and a crankbait. Its a spoon with the action of a crankbait. What is nice about them is no matter how fast you are trolling they stay at about the same depth depending on the size you are using... Do a google search for "spoonplug" and you should get some hits.

They're a pretty 'old school' lure, aren't they? I've never used one before... even though they're mostly used for trolling, are they equally effective if casted?

Get ready to eat some bass ,because spoonplugs kill fish,the reaction bite at high trolling speeds usally end up with a bass with a whole spoonplug in its crunchers,this was my expeirance when fishing with them 20 years ago,but they are a great trolling bait for all speicies.

Yellow (chartreuse) and orange work well in my part of the state.

Be sure to use a stiff rod! Shakespeare has a Catfish rod ( At wallmart @ around $25 ) that will work well. You do not want the rod tip or your line to soften the action .

You do not need No-Bow line how ever. 14lb Fire-Line and a line counter reel will do a better job.

The 3 inch Spoonplugs are the best all-around. Running the plug 55' back will take it dowm to 13', 75' back down to 17'.

A stiff rod ( Hey watch it) and no stretch line is a must!!!!

I think it is odd that it is the only crank-bait that sinks like a rock.

I allso like the Fred Arbogast, Mudbug this time of year but it is by no means a Spoonplug.

It is the original speed troller.

As for DaveC. It's only a crankbait. They do not eat it any differant.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
