Spoon Question

[Hookedup]

Hi Guys, Any of you heard of T-Spoon Lures (T Spoons) from Auburn NY? A long time client of mine on the boat this year gave me some from a bargin bin in a store in Southern PA. I had like 15 colors, (one color worked) I ran off a slider on Cayuga and did ten Salmon in one trip off that slider. I ran it the next day and had a big a$$ bow rap up in the other rigger and brake it off. So I called the client and he got me a couple more. I killed the fish on that one color all year. I doubt if the company is still around but if it is I would love to order a 100 of them. If not I would like to get some good blanks and team up with some one who can paint and get one hell of a new spoon out to you guys on the Finger Lakes. I would even let a spoon/lure company look at it. Sean

I have quite a few of them, but didn't know they were still made. A couple of rumors said they were no longer being made. I really like the single hook.

I'd be interested in finding out where to get more. Quality lure from a local guy.

ask sliderbite, i think vic mention he use to be involved with the company before they closed....

The guy that produced T spoons got very sick and stopped manufacturing quite a few years ago. I want to say maybe 7 or 8 years now.

I am not aware of anyone starting production back up on these spoons.

Always ran T spoons in the Finger Lakes for Browns, Rainbows and LL's.

Thanks for the info guys. I will get some made if they are not in buisness any more. Sean

Sean, How about a picture of the spoon blank? Keep your secret color a secret. PM me if your looking for someone to paint the blanks. I have excellent luck with a guy in PA.

Thanks Guys, I am in contact with the maker of the spoons. If I can get a bunch of them done up I will get some out to you all. Sean

[jason]

Can anyone post a picture of a T-Spoon? Not sure what blank you are talking about.

Thanks.

Boat will be out in 5 weeks.

[B8buket]

T-Spoons ......straight from the person who used to make them

[stinger]

Thanks Vic.

I guess we all have a few of those blanks in our box. I just didn't know them as T-Spoons. A lot of the ones I picked up over the years were at the flea market type sportsmen shows.

The most fish catching spoons I ever had were the ones called and made by " Old Swede". He sold his jigs when he closed up shop but the spoons kept showing. They are still kicking around under other names. Vary speed tolerant. That's probably why they worked so well.

Pic of a couple I doctored up. .. blank look familiar?

Sorry Sean, didn't mean to hijack your thread......you can share your pattern with us tho'

[Big Dave]

That kinda looks like the small hy-tech blank.

[spoonfed-1]

That kinda looks like the small hy-tech blank.

Yup.

Don't look like a T spoon to me.

I was just looking at my spoons, and realized i have a few Tspoons, I bought them at Project 4 in elmira heights...

[spoonfed-1]

Slidebites picture contains every Tspoon I've ever seen.

That spoon just past 3:00 is silver plated and has taken many Cayuga Browns for me.

Hey Mike ,

Are'nt those O&M spoons in yer pic......your flea market finds?

Vic

Hey Mike ,

Are'nt those O&M spoons in yer pic......your flea market finds?

Vic

Yes, ...they are the same blank. They are also kicking around the finger lakes under a couple of names the last 20 years.

Carl Johnson, aka "old swede" had the jig for that spoon back in the `80's. By the time I met him in the early `90's he had closed up shop and sold all his stuff. He did keep 100's of blanks though and that's how I got onto them.

Good stuff, ......just like needle fish .. .... 2 7/8" spoons seem to be a good all around spoon in the fingers especially if they can run good at 2.0 to 3.0.

BTW,....do you know what the secret pattern is?

[B8buket]

Secret pattern?............no? ..............Frisco might ...... or you could ask Sean

Hey guys, we purchased all of the remaining stock of TSpoon lures. I was looking online to learn more about them and I found this thread. We are probably the store referred to by the original poster. We started posting them on Ebay as we don't have the interest in SE PA that many of the areas of NY and elsewhere bring. We sell them for $2 each but since they are starting to take off our supplies are quickly diminishing. Feel free to give us a call (ask for me, Alex Smay) at 717-653-5524 if you want to buy any.

[treerat]

Alex dont forget your potter county friends . I might know a guy who could get you a ride to use those spoons
