    Im heading to mille lacs friday, and want to try out 5/16 ounce slender spoons. I know you can order them online, but its a lilltle to late to get them shipped to my by the time I leave thursday night. So does anyone know of anywhere that carries this size in metro area?

    I just picked some up at Gander Mountain. That was in St. Cloud, but one near you will probably have them as well.

    I have tried to track these down in a store for 2 years now – driven out to Thorne Bro, Joe’s, multiple Ganders, and never found them in stock. I finally ordered online and it took 3 days. Simple to order and they send them USPS right away. I know this doesn’t help you now, but I would consider ordering some anyway so you have them for the next time and save the headache of chasing them in stores. I have also heard from people who do find them in a store that the sizes/colors they want are gone. The mail order setup seems top notch.

    You might check Reeds in Onamia. I have not been there this season so I do not know for sure if they are in stock. A quick phone call could tell ya.

    1/8 oz are deadly on Mille Lacs. My personal favorites are silver/red and gold/green-chartreuse.

    Those Lightning spoons do the trick just as well in most cases, if not better. In any case, good luck!

    Ordered slenders and Chekia jigs. I felt pressured because they are starting to run out of firetiger.

    You could swing into Princes Bait on 169 just north of Milaca. Each year they order a lot of Custom Jig’s & Spins tackle. I would imagine they have a selection of slender spoons.

    Gander in Blaine did not stock any-would not have gone into the store if I didnt have a gift card

    Give Thorne Bros a call up in Blane, they usually have a plentiful stock!
