The Tomic Spoon
Your spoon should not roll, but have a side-to-side swing motion.
If it’s rolling, slow down your troll or retrieve.
If adding your own preference of single hook (the hook weight will
change the action – heavier beat with heavier hook), the point
of the hook should be on the same side as the dish of the spoon.
Vary your leader length and line diameter, as different combinations
will produce different actions.
Treble hooks also work on the Spoon.
To attach the treble, we suggest a split ring to join the treble
to the welded ring.
For ease of spoon change and a slight variation in action, try a
quick snap directly to the tow ring.
For a slightly more aggressive action, try cutting off the swivel
and tying directly to the ring.
To discourage smaller fish, try rigging 2 spoons together, using
a split ring to join them. This has been very successful for targeting
Chinook salmon when Coho are in the same area.
Flashers with Spoons
Spoons can also be used behind a flasher or dodger. When towed
behind a flasher or dodger, spoons will have more action when the
leader is short.
Leader diameters vary the action of spoons or any bait, and in combination
with the movement of the flasher or dodger this can make a significant
difference. If you use a light leader, it will have more give and
the flasher will not throw the spoon around as much as a heavier
leader would.
A great alternative to an in line flasher is using a false
flasher. The false flasher is our preferred method when using
a flasher, as the flasher is not between you and the fish during
the fight.
