weedless spoon

A well-designed weedless spoon can be cast a country mile; it will wobble through the water with grace and appeal, and attract strikes from virtually every game fish on the face of the planet. It won’t grab at the grass, rarely snags and doesn’t require you to get a doctorate to create a fish-enticing flash and wiggle. (Sport Fishing)

Weedless spoons are a “must have” in every inshore fisherman’s arsenal. My favorite versions offer an enticing wobble and flash, cast like a bullet, are durable and don’t need a trailer or skirt. (Salt Stron)

Weedless spoons are best fished early morning or late afternoon, and cloudy days are better than bluebird days. Also, since these lures are "sight" lures, they produce better in clear water than heavily-stained or muddy water. (Bass Fishing and Catching)
