spoons?

I haunt done much trolling with spoons and am wondering is it best to pull them on weights, dipseys or jets?

Behind weights are least common, but not unthinkable. Wire line and leadcore are two other ways they're pulled.

Most people pull them behind jets. Although i dont see why you couldnt pull them behind dipseys or inline weights. People pull harnessses behind both so why not spoons?
I usually dont fish spoons unless thats what the ticket is. Also, unlike a harness, spoons make no noise. They attract fish by flash, so sunny, clear days is when to utilize them if you do. They usually are put out with no live bait. Have you ever put out a crawler harness with no bait..? Thats kind of how i look at spoons. You could make a spoon harness and that may help but i have never done it.

As for jets... I cant stand em. Too much resistance. And i hate skiing in fish because the diver planes out. And i dont like the resistance. With tru trips, half the time i cant tell if the jet is tripped, or if its a big fish. And if its a big fish, i dont wannt jerk the rod back to see if its not tripped risking pulling the hook out of a hogs mouth. Just use inlines and crawler harnesses, you will not be dissapointed. And you get more fight out of it with using inlines.

My buddy is a old time charter first mated. He ran lines for some of the best out there. He runs large spoons on divers and dipsy's all the time. He has moved up to installing tru trips on most. But I have seen us come in with limits of Eyes when no one has them. I am trying to convince him harnesses catch fish too. LOL he says why fix some thing not broke. LOL Well cant argue with that logic. But I like tying them and they work too.
