August 19th, 2018 -- For my 116th outing of this year, I took one of my MOST DESPISED lures out there for a walk: the KastMaster Spoon!
I encourage everyone to watch this video from beginning to end, so that you folks can see exactly how I "figured out" the lure. I made sure to add each cast in the footage, so you also know where I cast and what depth I was fishing.
The message of this video is clear: we all have those lures that we ABSOLUTELY despise! ...And there is really no easy route to "figure them out" and be successful with them. Thus, ultimately, make sure to get out of your comfort zone and keep trying! Never give up!

I encourage you all to read the description of the video before watching it. Do you folks have a lure that you *ABSOLUTELY DESPISE?!* If so, which one?! Comment below!
I despise deep diving crankbaits never liked em.
Micro tube jigs!! While I have landed maybe a handful of fish on them, I just can ALWAYS do better on something else and never do well on them. I've done well on Kastmasters, just the other day I got a common shiner on a kastmaster.
It’s always been the little storm swimbaits
Top water lures, never caught none
Poppers I can't seem to catch anything on them T.T
Very cool Congratulations, beautiful video.
Have a good week!
Hugs and good fishing.
Love your channel and attitude! We need more Anglers like you!
Probably a catfish. Love to use castmasters.. some of the bigger fish seem to prefer them. I like that spot there at the base of th e dam caught a few there back in the early early spring. Nice video...
Leo I met you yesterday in China town thanks for stopping to say hello that was awesome!
Nice work Leo! You can always tell when you are doing well. Your voice goes higher and higher!
Great video, great message Leo!
Can't believe it's been 2 years since I've been subscribed to this channel!!!
The best intro on TH-cam
We have been using those lures for years. They work well for trout and bass. Deeper is better and "jigging" it works quite well. Let it sink, jig it up and let it flutter back down.
Leo picked the best picture of mike at the start
Hey Leo, great message in the video. If I can give you a bit of a tip mate. Tie feathers or strands on the treble. Use a bit of glue too. Gives the lure a bit of a flick action. Tight lines bro.
Leo your videos are awesome lately. Finishing summer strong.
I'm glad you finally caught a fish on the spoon. Great place man and I love the covered bridge on the background. I use to go fishing in Brazil with my father, and I'm just getting into fishing again. Thank you for the nice videos.
As always -- awesome video, Leo! I was in that exact spot last month with 4-lb line and had that same fish on, and had the same result :( I think from the way it stayed low and ran, it was a Catfish. Tight Lines!!
*sees title*
*instantly thinks about crankbaits*
Yo what's up mai gai
Crankbaits are Bae
Nah , spoons r
Nah, gulp minnows r
dude who likes dinosuars your right about that one
Way to conquer your bugaboo, Leo! 🎉Those km’s slay snapper blues in tidal areas. Never caught anything on them in regular freshwater areas.
You're awesome man and you crack me up lol!
yes, i've been waiting since spring for this spoon video. :D I love spoons so it's surprising to see that you despise them. I guess what you said at the beginning is true everyone has that one lure special to one person that they hate.
Good video man always fun watching rhe videos
I’ve done very well trout fishing with a kastmaster.
Caught some nice ones on the spoon, glad you figured it out haha now maybe I can figure it out.. great video 👊🏻
Enjoyed the video!
that spill way is snag city, im glad your doing more videos at the covered bridge park!
Great video Leo and congrats on conquering the KastMaster, just today I finally overcome my hate for jigs. Caught a 5.3lb bass on a bitsy big finesse jig on 6lb test BFS rig.
EAZYYYYYY!!! Love the videos bro, keep it coming!
Leo, that spoon you are using is a very very old style. It was sold up here in Canada over sixty years ago under the name Deadly Dick after the man who created it, Dick Nite. They came in sizes up to 6" long. We used them in the ocean as jigs. They actually work well if you are jigging vertically, we caught a lot of Cod on them
Leo your the man great video😁💪👍🎣
Leo, try a split ring or a snap for your line attachment to the Kastmaster next time too. It'll keep the spoon from cutting your line and keep your presentation smaller. Kastmasters also do well with a feather treble, single siwash/mosquito/trout worm hook, or my personal favorite way to rig them, that doesn't come straight out of the box, is a Kastmaster with a mosquito hook rigged 6" or so behind the spoon on a mono/copoly/fluoro leader. For extra flare on a tough bite, tip the trailing hook with a 1" Gulp Minnow or other small plastic minnow.
For me, my "despised" lure is the jerk bait. I have quite a variety of patterns and sizes, I've fished them at every opportunity, but I've never caught a darn thing on one.
Bonito and Spanish mackerel, I like the sound of that!
good job man
Good video nuff said
That works really good for trout also I have had got a lot of them on them
What a video gotten try this myself EPF can’t wait to the next video
good to see you out fishing love your work !! keep it up !!!
The spoon to love you Leo
Good for you! Getting out and conquering the spoon. Thanks for another great video.
Leo speaks the truth!!
Jigs. Of course they work, i just can't get them to work in rivers without losing it in 3 casts
I enjoyed this video very much....it's nice to see you change it up and I loved seeing you fight the bigger fish....pure adrenaline Leo!!
The spoon is used for Salmon here on the west coast and it works really good
Use spoons all the time for steelhead, salmon and browns on Lake Michigan tribs where I live. Works like a charm.
awesome video haha i have a love and hate relationship with the rapala XD it has the most sophisticated swim action but wenever i use it, i usually lose them to snags. spoons or spinners they are easy to use but problem with them is that they must be in a constant speed in order to make the most of them. might try out softbait from here on haha
Jared is very talented...awesome he sent you the drawing!
hey leo a lil tip if ur ever snagged pull and walk to the side and back the other way and if still snagged let up on the pressre and if non that works then fingers cross u dont break off ur lure good luck on future snaggs
Nice vid as always. Inspired me to finally start using senkos, which I know are good but i have zero confidence in. Thanks Leo
Awesome video Leo!
Kastmasters are good in the salt when peanut bunker are around. Good profile imitation.
Yo I got the same mini Plano tackle box😁
Hey Leo recently came across your channel and enjoying it very much. Glad you lost your Kastmaster "virginity". It's a great lure I've used them in fresh water, surf fishing as well as local and offshore salt water here in southern California 1/8 to 4 oz. models for to many years to admit.
2 things from you to chew on
1. Noticed the 2nd lure you tied on did not have a split ring to tie to. The addition of one will help the action of the lure.
2. First time I've seen that particular knot you used. You could try a 3 or 4 turn uni knot but don't tighten all the way. Just enough so the split ring can spin inside the loop. I use this for fishing surface iron to add that little extra acation.
Sorry this went on so long
Tight lines and good times
Chuck
Nice fishing! The only thing I have ever caught on cast masters was snapper blues. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try them on freshwater fish. I do have other types of spoons that I do use in freshwater,and catch fish on. Even some that I have made myself out of spoon handles, scrap metal,and brass spinner blades. If you are really into kastmaster style spoons,and end up losing them easily,you can find Chinese copies for really cheap on ebay. 10 spoons for $5.29 and $1.44 shipping. I've never used these Chinese copies before as I don't have any yet,but they are shaped the same,so they should run the same. I do have a number of other tiny cheap Chinese spoons I've ordered weeks ago,various lots,shapes, and colors, and they are quality spoons. I've caught bass,bluegill,and yellow perch on them. One lot of them I have is 50 spoon blanks for $6.99 or $7.99 free shipping. They come in 2 styles,in brass,and nickle finish. You just have to add split rings and a hook. I've fitted most the lots of spoons into a small compact box,that 12 of the spoons came in,and I keep that full box in my tackle bag.
I love the Kastmasters, every year I take a trip up near you, Kinzua PA ,for rainbows, browns, and Brookie's. They all love the Kastmaster!
I live in Minnesota and the Kastmaster is one of my favorite lures for ice fishing.
Leo you got to try a humdinger
Hey Leo I remember a saltwater video where you caught a fish (i believe it was a small barracuda) on a small spoon, I thought it was a kastmaster. But I could very well be wrong.
Hey Leo, I love your videos, keep it up. I saw a video of yours though before where you caught a barracuda down in Florida on a Kastmaster? I looked back to make sure and you did. So you must have caught at least one fish before on a Kastmaster before?
I did the exact same thing Leo, I fished a castmaster strictly cause nothing else was hitting. I would end up catching a new pb walleye and caught 6 nice size walleye the whole day😄
Good video with a great point Leo! I'm gunna look for my old trusty dusty spoon tomorrow, and fish it for a while.
Hi, man !
My regards !
So I think you put the hook up side down on the first spoon, well... the heaviest part would be down, it works better anyway as to cast as the presentation. Maybe would you find it out...
One of my favorite lures for trout ,salmon and steelhead is the kastmaster
And I have been lucky enough to have caught fish on all the lures I own.. Don't have any I would say I despise but definitely have a few favorites. Warden's Rooster tails in hot pink, rainbow trout, and white, trout magnet jigs in red and chartreuse, soft plastic crawfish imitations.. There's a long list. Tight lines Leo
When I retrieve my spoons, I tend to but my rod down by my side and have it parallel to the water. Great job leo keep up the great work!
I’ve used that exact castmaster (one in the intro) in creeks to catch smallies/trout a lot. Really like it for covering ground when I’m trying out a new spot
Giant tip for you brotha is to point the rod tip as low as possible when jigging this lure or your just pulling it only 4 to 5 inches under when you want it just above the lake/river bottom
I been wanting to try fishing a spoon. I’m gonna have to get some now. Awesome video brah!👍
What happen to 1 rod 1 reel?
For me it's the chatterbait, but yea like you said I know its a great lure
That castmaster is best for salmon and mostly for saltwater fish,caught some Kokanee(i think thats how you spell it) salmon in Wisconsin but color blue and sliver on it
Rattle trap cranks and blade spinners are the ones I hate
How do you hate spoons? I've caught bluefish, all kinds of trout, a salmon, sunnies, and perch on them. One of my favorite lures.
Great video as always leo i caught my first LMB on one of those
Those kastmaster work for about everything even ice fishing for panfish jigging them through the ice try using them in the spring for stock trout they work good for them
I really like the kastmaster, especially for trout but it gets snagged somewhat easily
Thanks for the video man
Im from israel and i am a bait fisherman not with lures but i will try my own castmaster for small tilapias
What about that barracuda you caught on the cast master in florida
Way to go! For me it's a bait that really bugs me. It's Power Bait for trout. Went trout fishing for the first time this year on two occasions I couldn't get a single trout. I couldn't convince my nephew to go out for trout a third time. I won't be giving up though. I will go out for the fall stocking of the East Branch of the Brandywine in October!
Try using the floating gulp small hook that's light enough to let the bait float.i fish it Texas rig with a 12 to 16 inch floor carbon leader.
i like to keep a kastmaster in my tackle box.I don't catch an insane amount of fish on them but they work decently in a lot of different conditions. I've even caught a couple of channel cats on them.
Awesome message and a great video, I really enjoyed this one a lot.
Saw the notification and immediately clicked. Love the videos Leo!
I've had luck with a Castmaster At Barnegut Lite for Blues.
I know u have gone here but it’s still so crazy right across from my house!!
I normally have better luck with silver spoons during overcast weather. Gold ones seem to do better on sunny days
The senko was my most hated lure that everyone thought was amazing didnt use it for almost 2 years decided to put one on and I've caught a hell of alot of fish. Needless to say happy I tried
Buddy spoons usually are a Pike and muskie lure
That lure is Popper for me.
Hey What's Up Leo!!! Keep up the great videos...great vid!!
Wasabi gang!🤟🏾🎣
Love these f&^%#@ videos!!🔥🔥
Hard baits is lures that I despise, but I love the kastmaster, I have caught panfish, trout , bass, and a 5 lb bonito tuna on a big kastmaster.
Great video and great concept for a video! Crankbaits are the lures that give me fits.
Regarding spoons, a loop knot does help the action but I have always fished Kastmasters and Hopkins spoons with a split ring at the top and a clip on that. I think that makes for even better action. I also recommend a swivel where your leader connects to your main line (assuming you are using a leader) to avoid line twist.
Finally, I like swapping out the treble hook for a single. You still get plenty of hook ups and you avoid the troubles that come with a treble hook (snags!).
In salt water try a Kastmaster or Hopkins with a single hook with a white bucktail on it. That slays.
take a shot everytime leo says the word "kastmaster"
For albies and bones you'll want a high speed reel. May I suggest the spartan loaded with 15lb braid and flourocarbon leader.
i hope you're okay leo ligma's pretty bad
I'm in the same boat as you brother, I try these lures, that I've seen others catch fish on and no game. I did notice your not using a barrel swivel, but even when I do to avoid line twist, still no fish...hrrrrmmmppphhh. Cray must have a technique IDK...
Please try a Daredevil 5 of diamonds spoon!!
That bigger bite could have been a pickerel or trout too. I've caught both of those on Kastmasters before.
Time to see some Philly fishing baitcasting!
Rapalla knot folks, rapalla knot
Top water duck?? Was that a shot at lojo fishing?? Lol
I'm not so crazy about those either but I haven't given up.
Go to 6:26 and pause the vid.
Beautiful scenery Leo and mines the reef runner
Dude u need to just hourse the fish in on my ultra light I caught a 5 pound catfish on very fraid line it has 4 pound test and it has never failed me 4 pound line is strong enough to bring fish in easy. Great video keep itup.
