Fishing with slender spoons

Bought a handful of these today and have seen people rave over them are they worth the hype? What is the best ways to fish them?

Put a minnow head on treble hook and jig up and own a little a hold ….AND …BAM Walleye on !!

Levi- they sure are. There slender profile creates a very suttle and irrestible flutter on the fall. Best advice tie one on tip it with a minnow head and give it a rip in your hole and watch it practice makes perfect!

The 1/4oz slender is my go-to walleye bait. I rarely start with something else.

I guess the only way to know is to try it out are lindy darters good lures?

I prefer the #4 Rippin Rap over any of the darters !

And the 1/8 oz is my starter crappie one, the 1/16th is my go to bluegill one…

Seriously, I got turned onto these a few years ago and they quickly became my favorite bait. Love them, literally have at least one tied on at all times. Will be the first thing down the hole in the morning.

Crappies throttle them, that’s the hype.

I have about 5 “go to” lures for ice fishing walleye. the slender spoon is probably 2nd on that list behind the VMC tingler spoon

I hope they work. Just ordered a bunch last night lol.

Ahhhh the beauty of drunk ordering! Its funny when a package shows up and the wife says whats this and you have no idea.

I wish it was drunk ordering. I was asleep by 10:30. Worked too hard yesterday to celebrate lol.

Had $20 Cabelas bucks to use by midnight and some gift cards from Christmas. Never made it to the store to hit up the $20 off $100.

They work great Ive caught everything on them including bluegills. For the bigger sizes tip with a minnow head and I do well on panfish and even sometimes walleyes with waxies or spikes on the smaller sizes. Try tipping them with a small plastic that sticks out horizontal from the spoon for pan fish as well.

HAHA! I have done the drunk ordering many times. Kids are almost old enough to blame it on them now.

Drunk ordering has resulted in some of my best equipment purchases. Hahaha

Use slender spoons all the time. I fish them with some Chena Bait and a waxie for pan fish.

I like the LIndy Darters better than others. I use them for Crappie as well as eyes. I was out two days ago with the smallest size Lindy Darter in the Red color glow and the crappies would get the entire lure with both trebles in their mouth. Most fish when they hit the Lindy Darter they crush them! I also have rip’n raps, chubby darters, Clacken Raps but my Lindy’s are one of my go to lures.
