Not bad at all, add some blue green dolphins, lemon ice, more blues, a few golds mixed in. Then a few different sizes and blanks for different conditions. No wonder I can hardly lift my box.

I like your hooks too.

A hammered nickel w/black edge Jr. Flutter Devle has been a consistent shallow water spring brown trout spoon for me.

Can you put a link to show me that spoon? I can't find it on Google... I totally forgot about shallow water trolling for other species.. that would make a good top 10 list too.

Green and/or blue dolphin are usually good ones. Orange crush and key lime have been good for me at times, when I got out more often! Like the moonshine spoons also.

OK, let me put the pressure on you!!!

You have 2 poles. Which 2 lures are you going to use in a tournament to strike fast and furious based on all your fishing this year?

I cannot find the hammered nickel with black edge.

Can you look and see if you can find it and give me a model and color number? I am interested in adding this to the list.

Do you have a URL with a picture of one? Thanks

Sorry, the Jr. Flutter Devle is a stock hammered nickel (#62) with a custom applied 1/8th inch black edge.

Regardless of the color, I've only been able to purchase Jr. Flutter Devles off of the Eppinger website. Eppinger doesn't even have them at their sport show booth.

wow only 2 poles

Thanks mate, I will try and put a picture of what you describe together, sounds like a great lure. Now is this lure tolerant of different trolling speeds like the open water trolling spoons? One of the things I really like is that I have experimented with many various trolling speeds and the spoons on that page on the first post produce at all speeds. Of course in turns and whatnot the usual random whack happens from time to time.

Here are links to the Dreamweaver Super Slims, but I don't see a Wonderbread pattern...they painting these special for you Ed or is it a different color scheme/nickname?

The DW wonderbreads were sold retail at Chuck's all season. Just a white spoon, silver black with pale blue and red dots. It was a super glow. Looked kind of bland but it always took fish all summer. Not sure why it is not listed on the site.

The Jr. Flutter Devle is a very thin spoon that doesn't have much action out of the box. You need to put a "S" bend into it by placing your thumb in the cup at the rear/hook end & bending the nose in the opposite direction. The more bend, the more action/the slower you can troll it.

I'm running this spoon with a single color/section of lead core anywhere from 100-150' back with 25' section of P-Line CFX fluorocarbon leader in 2-8 FOW.

Moonshine Spoons and flies were tops in my neck of the woods again this year. Flounder Pounder was #1, Hot Lips, and Carbon 14 were close seconds. All in magnum size. All the flies went well, but Blue Smoothie was probably our best seller.

AGREED - MAGNUMS RULE

Any big fish I have landed has for the most part has always been on magnums. Have links to show pictures of these lures?

Can you direct me to a picture of your rig or give the ABC'S of how to put it together and use it? I am building a resource for people new to the hobby to be able to understand. I suspect 90% of fishermen have no clue to what you are talking about.
