Slender Spoon availability in the metro?

Hey guys,

Need to pick up a few more slender spoons before I head up to Red Lake next weekend and I was wondering if any store has a stock of these in the Metro area?

Just order them from them online. Save you from driving all over and sales tax.

What he said. When I order they are usually to my house in 2-3 days.

Custom Jigs & Spins

Thanks guys!

I never realized their shipping was that fast!

Just an option, I know some guys like to look at them before buying. But if you’ve already seen them and know what you want, this way you don’t have to worry about the store not having something you want in stock. I placed my order on Thursday. Will let you know when they arrive at my door. They charged my card on Friday, so I’m guessing they shipped out on Friday also.

I know Gander Mountain carries them if you choose to go to a store. Thorne Bros too.

i ordered my slender spoons about a month ago direct, from checkout to arrival was about 3 days, but i am on the far west side of iowa.

ordered wednesday night, got them saturday morning.

Update, mine arrived in the mail today. So… ordered Thursday, arrived Monday. Pretty quick.

x2 with Gander. You never know how many colors they will have but chances are best this early in the season.

Mills too.

Gander, huh? Anyone know if they are in the Roch. location as well? Im buying slender spoons for the first time here in a few days, not sure which colors to pick up. Any ideas? goin to mille lac by the way.

1/8th oz size…..here are my go to colors for Mille Lacs.

Justin,

Just swing by Cal’s and check out his ice box… It has always worked for me !!!

Those are a couple of my favorite colors too Cal!

I actually picked up some glow in the dark lure tape for salmon fishing this summer and I plan to experiment with some different color combinations this weekend on Red Lake.

I’m thinking a gold w/glow red tape could be a hot combo for that particular lake..

If U can find some Pink tape that seems to be a pretty good color on Red the last couple years.

I’ve got some pink glow tape that i’ll be sure to try as well.

Yes about three days to ship order online cabelas in rogers pretty much sold out

I believe the Gander in Eden Prairie had a relatively limited selection every time I went last year. Same goes for gill pills.

I am ordering online from now on. It is the only way to guarantee I don’t waste gas not finding the right size/color tat I am looking for on a particular day.

Also I can take my time ordering from a computer. Jesse and Brian learned Sunday that I get a bit mesmerized in a tackle store (or Everts Bait Shop). I guess I got into that habit as a kid walking down to Holiday with $10. Decisions, decisions!

Capra’s in Blaine has quite a few yet. Most are the colors that you’d look for for Mille Lacs and Lake of the Woods.

I hit the Thorne Bros store this past Saturday as there didn’t seem to be many at the show, or I missed them, and they seemed to have a decent selection.

Joes sporting goods have them.

Depending on your travels, Swanson’s Bait in Hackensack has them. Decent selection as of Sunday morning. Reeds in Walker should be stocked up also. They seem to be always well stocked on seasonal goods. Worse case, call ahead and see if you can have some put on hold.

Seen them at Joes today, all the silver with red tape were gone…go figure.

a also noticed the package says “as seen on midwest outdoors” Whats up with that? Did James and the IDO crew get snubbed for Midwest Outdoors?

I checked at the Lakeville GM and FF, neither had slender spoons available, so I ordered directly from the CJS site. I placed my order Sunday evening and they were sitting at my doorstep this evening (Tuesday)! Can’t beat that!

Just picked up a few at Lundeen’s on the SW side of Mille Lacs. Seemed to have a nice selection.

I hope I have that kind of luck with my order this am. Heading out for my maiden trip on Sunday.

Those things can be hard to find, I went to Gander today and they were sold out of every slender spoon ha glad I already got mine..

CJS site says all the 1/8th and 5/16th red slender spoons are out of stock. May be available the 1st week of january.

Gee, I wonder why red got sold out. Dang fishing shows.

That’s ok, I like my silver/greens.
