  • There are all kinds of little secrets the pros don't tell you about fishing a flutter spoon for bass in the summer. In this video I go through everything you need to know to fish a flutter spoon for bass - from which lure to use to what setup (rod, reel, and fishing line) you will need. I also show you how to fish a flutter spoon 3 different ways.

    At 59, I can't help but see the humor in hair jigs and spoons. It's a definite case of comes around, goes around.

    We just fished the TBF championship last weekend man we found a bunch on a brush pile in 18 feet of water that wouldn't eat anything smith mt lake mid summer fish been beat on BAD. By 1 o'clock we had 2 fish for less than a pound I pulled out a spinning rod 6 pound line a tiny marabou hair jig between 130 and 230 we put 19 pounds in the boat with small spoons and tiny hair jigs for our first win. It works brother thanks

    those look a lot like a silver fish trolling spoons i use. just a bit of a add on all O-rings are not the same. i know the good ones are pricey but, i learned the hard way big fish will pull the O-ring out and all you get back is the spoon. great stuff

    Love the lake, fork, spoon, but you’re right you do need to change out the hardware. On Lanier, you can also do that last technique you mentioned, which is sometimes called power reeling. Good for stripers! Thanks Mikey!

    I got a couple nicole's flutter spoons a while ago for these herring lakes. I haven't used it yet but I been fishing more smaller lakes/giant ponds. I'm a kayak angler so I like getting places most people can't. I will definitely use my spoons next time I'm at Murray or Clarks hill! I could get largemouth or striper there. Ton of fun hooking into a huge stripper in the yak. They can pull me around easily. Hopefully I can hook into a 25+ pounder this season. I know local guys are catching monster striper at Clarks hill this year. That's something new to me but fun & different. Plus I can fish my big swimbaits catch them or bass

      Shouldn't be any different as long as you got the right rod you get more than enough leverage to jerk that bait up the right way even from a kayak

      @mikeybalzz  ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly I've never tried it in the really stiff current usually I'm fishing it more around main river and secondary Creek breaks but that big one would definitely get down I think you would just hang the bottom all the time.

    A thought…Awhile back someone sold a split ring that was designed to release the hook at a certain pound rating (don’t recall the manufacturer name). Could you use that kind of split ring with a fluoro or braid loop also attached to the hook that would act as a decoupler from the weight of the spoon…so when you set the hook the split ring would let go, but the floro/braid leader would still hold.
    Is that a potential way of decreasing the likelihood of a fish throwing that treble before you get them in the boat?
    Just curious if you or anyone you know had tried something like that to improve hookup to land ratio.

      Don't be intimidated everything has a window and they smoke it just imagine it like a really big trap and when you look at the size and profile and comparison to some of the bait that they eat it matches right up not to mention it's one fun bite you got to give it a try

    Flutter spoons are not a technique I've used much before. But it's funny that you posed this video because I was just looking at buying some Nichols spoons yesterday. I think the universe is trying to tell me something...well something other than the, "That doesn't go there, you idiot!" type of things it's usually trying to tell me.
