try swimming them through the weeds in your lakes and stuff they should get you some here and there.

spoons don't normallyu work too well for bass, but hell, give it a try. I've used tin foil and caught bass so I guess its just whatever they want. I wouldn't fish them in weeds though. Spoons and weeds are definatly not a good mix. I would throw the spoons into deep or open water and just give them a medium paced retrieve. This should triegger some strikes. Good luck!

PS: If they don't work for bass, take em to a river for trout, or go out deep for muskie, pike, or walleye.

Bit too far south for them but Ive heard they work awesome in saltwater especially trolling and my dads really looking into getting a boat!! Hope we do.

I have a massive pike daredevil I throw on for kicks sometimes, but it is not one of my better lures by any measure. Try working it deep and put on a large single hook, I snag up a whole lot with a treble hook.

Spoons do work for bass but those with trebles get caught up really quickly in cover. They can also catch other species like trout.

I know of some who use jigging spoons for smallies.

Many a time have conventional spoons and inline spinners save my phanny from going home home skunked when traditional bass baits didn't work.
