spoon fishing

anyone have luck vertical jigging spoons or casting spoons like the flutter spoons? i have tried the flutter spoons without much luck, but could see some situations were they could be useful. i know i saw the paa tourney in mo/ark was won vertical jigging spoons and it seems like on the ten. river they is a following now. i was surprised when last year when mark rose said he used a jig to fire the school up and then went to a spoon. anyways, just seeing if anyone has tried this.

I do ok on a couple of reservoir lakes that I fish. Mostly when I find bass schooled in deep water.

I read an article in a mag about small ice spoons in the fall on rivers. sounded good to me, if ur on some short biters.

If they’ll hit a vertical jigged spoon…they’ll hit a blade!

jigging spoons can be real good. A big deal the last few years here in NY has been using big fluttering spoons like a super fluke near the top. guys are catching and not talking, till I get them drunk.
wouldn’t mind a good blade write up from Tom soon… brand, colors and tackle… That saves me from PMing him…

thanks for the replies. i thought the in-fish article about vertical jigging in cali was very interesting. i am always looking for new techniques, but here of this very little in natural lakes. i know in the lakes around by me the fish start to suspend at the first part of the fall of hard water extensions and i was looking for some more ideas. at some point the football head or roller rock jigs fish are not as willing to commit when the temps drop,but the fish are still there.
