Anybody ever try pitchin spoons w/wo meat to the wingies? I was thinking about givin that a try just for sport sometime. With a taught line and the right current...that wobble just might deliver a presentation with a little more "pizazz" than a regular jig. thoughts?

If you are speaking of spoons like a Kastmaster, I have done this before with stellar results. What I find best is to find the right spoon weight for the current you are fishing, remove the treble how on the bottom and replace with a single hook- we used gamakgatsu hooks- and tip them with a minnow. On the fall, all you had to do was hold the tip of your rod and usually one would hit it right on the drop. Hope this helps and good luck. P.S. The time of year we tried this was in march, so thought I'd let you know that as well.

I recently picked up a couple of spoons called "krocodiles". they come in various weights and also come with either a treble or a single hook you can change out on the split ring. when i saw it i thought of using it like you described but didnt know if people have tried with success or not.
only problem is...they're not cheap!

No, there not. Wingdams are usually jig eaters. They should work good though. When jig fishing, I always use power pro- that stuff will get your jig back and the sensitivity is great. Give it a try and let me know if it works!

I've been tossing spoons ever since reading Buck Perry's book in the 70's. They were great then and they are still great. Also use them along with zonars in the wintertime and they work well then too. Lots of flash, a slow fluttering fall, and they always find the bottom.
