Spoons on dipseys...

[WalleyeLJ]

Hey All,

 

We've been running dipseys with FF/SDs for years, but only tried spoons off a dipsey with a 5-6 foot leader a couple times, with no luck. Do you run spoons on dipseys by themselves, or does anyone run them off a SD/PT as well? Seems like that might be a hot mess, but could add a little hop to the spoons. Hitting the water Friday - can't wait!

I ran spoons behind sd's because I wanted to attract fish into spread....5 to 6 feet both of white and dipsy.  Had success with dreamweaver spoons and proking.  I have a couple of different lengths  4, 5 and 6 feet.  I think some lures work better with shorter and some longer.  Look at the action of the lure.  You want its action to be key.  I think i had my sd on the front ring.

makes it fun landing solo when you have this on your wire dipsy set up.

Nice! Worth it when it's over though. Glad to know it wasn't a totally crazy idea. We'll have 3 of us, so that'll help!

I’ve had some success with spoons straight behind dipsies with approximately a 10 foot lead. Never tried them behind a flasher

I cant say I've run spoons behind a dipsy or with a SD. But, I run a spoon behind a slide diver every trip. Slide diver with 50ft of lead, then 5 ft flouro leader, then spoon. It is often my best rod honestly. When the fish wont hit the riggers they will hit that slide diver. I know that was a little off topic but spoons behind slide divers work very well

I run spoons behind divers probably at least 60% of the time during the whole season. 10’ish leads with 20# flo

Spoons of dipseys can be deadly on a spoon bite

[Kayakhank]

I dont have slide divers.  How far back do you run spoons off divers.  Most of my leads are 7 feet so o can net fish....is that too short?

Seven foot lead will work even though longer lead likely better.  With a seven foot rod it limits you when netting unless you want to hand line a longer leader (not ideal).

A four pack of spoons on slide divers out the back (mags/inside-standards/outside) works all year.
