Tuning Spoons

[Finders Keepers]

Hey fellas, I have usually run spoons just the way the come out of the box, but I have heard many others "tuning" their spoons to run a certain way. Would you be willing to share some of the ways in which a spoon is tuned and what the desired outcome is?

just kidding had to look around to find where i read about tuning,, www.attheoak.com scroll to "random tips" then to the bottom of tips is a small paragraph bout tuning.

Ok, I'll check that out! Thanx!

I stomp on mine w/ my foot. I know this is embarrasing but I really do. It works for me and I'm sure I could be the only one that does this.

Bend the nose upwards and the rear cup downwards to increase wobble at slower speeds.

I bend the nose upwards by pushing the nose downward on a hard surface(huge difference in action compared to a stock blade),while raising the cup end.

Some spoons(pending on the metal used)will crack if you bend them too much.

Probably don't have a stock shaped spoon in my collection :roll:

Ditto what Skeiner said. Also if you only increase the cup you usually get a faster wobble (going slow) but if you only bend the nose up you’ll generally get a little wider wobble (going slow). If you go back to a “normalâ€Â

If you take a sutton spoon and bend it lenghtways,right down the middle you can run them faster.But you can never get them to runslower again. At least I cant.

Straighten out the nose on a optimiser and increase the bend in the cup and you can slow them right down.

If anyone has had much luck tuning metal dodgers I would like to hear it.Some of mine swim horizontal and I cant figure out why.Some of the same dodgers same colors catch fish . Put the same out on the other side and they dont. Its something the fish see and I dont.
