Prototype Lure Testing From Motorized SUP [Spoon vs. Suspending Plug]

http://weedless%20spoon%20test

Finally, I had a morning free to get out on the water after dealing with a pair of hurricanes that caused a lot of damage.

My main goal this trip was to test out a brand new weedless spoon prototype that I just received.

But I also wanted to get some fishing time in with our the new suspending twitch plug called the Flea Flicker, so I decided to do a fun contest to see which one the fish perferred.

This contest involved me making 3 casts with each lure before switching to the other for the full 2.5 hours of fishing time while I was exploring some post-hurricane waters near Boca Grande, FL.

Conclusion

This trip was yet another example to the fact that the most important factor in catching fish is finding the feeding zones (aka – the 90/10 zone).

These lures were very different in most aspects including color, vibration, and size, yet they both caught roughly the same amount of fish.

So if you are having trouble consistently catching inshore fish, make sure to put your focus on learning how to predict the spots where the predator fish will be holding based on the season, tides, and weather.

The one thing that has bothered me about most weedless spoons is that because of the weight of the hook, they tend to ride through the water hook side down (as in your underwater shot at 8 seconds in). The very end of the hook point is still exposed so it catches submerged branches, oyster edges, and other such matter. Wouldn’t it be better to add maybe a spine along the other side of the spoon to weight it so that it rides hook side up? I was able to get some homemade spoons to ride hook side up because I bolted on the hook using a machine screw (always use lock-nut glue). The weight of the cap nut keeps it riding hook side up. As an added bonus, if the hook rusts or the point gets damaged or bent, I could just heat up the screw to remove it and then replace the hook. I’d send a picture, but apparently can’t here.
