Broadhorizons Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I'm making up a Christmas list and this got me wondering which spoon blanks most guys prefer. I know it could be a sunny vs overcast determination. In general for browns and steelhead, do you purchase spoons with copper backs or silver backs more often? Or you don't think it really matters? Thanks guys,
Jammer Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I voted no difference, because you didn't have an option for 'Both - sometimes one, sometimes the other'. There is a difference, but it depends on the day/weather, the time of year, the time of day, the water clarity, and the mood of the fish. Both browns and steelies have days where silver backs are too much flash and you do better with a copper or gold back. However, some days the silver backs rock. That's why I keep buying more spoons and more 3700 Plano boxes every year. (Sounds like an excuse...) JAM
LongLine Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I can only say that hex patterns out-produce plain-ohs silver for me. Tom B. (LongLine)
Splitshot115 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Glow backs also have days when they produce better than the others.
