The Spoonpluggers Forum

Asport, sounds like the good ol, days. Then again, I guess things really havent changed all that much over the years. I still see lots of those year,round bank beaters. They just dont know that they just dont know. Sad but true!

Great stories guys!!!!!! Keep them coming!!!! I'd put mine in but I haven't done it yet. Good fishin, Woody

I first heard of spoonplugs when I was in high school. I bought a five pack and some no bo. I didn't have much money, so I decided to adapt my one rod and reel for spoonplugging. Of course, I hadn't read anything about how to use them, and just thought they were the MAGIC LURE!
My one reel was a Zebco spincast model. I spooled the no bo on it, and with great anticipation, went out on a small lake in my 10' row boat. I let out line, and then began to "troll" as I rowed along. Immediately, I felt something heavy on the end of the line, and knew it was a lunker. Needless to say, it was a ten pound mass of weeds! No bo & the Zebco weren't a good match. I threw away the line and went back to casting a rubber worms in the weeds. It wasn't until I got married, and my father in-law gave me Buck's book, that things started to make sense.

charlie, thats a good story! You still get an A for effort my man!
