Trolling spoons when to use?

[campingkids]

Looking to add a few trolling spoons to my tackle box this year. When and how do you use them. Fishing smaller lakes rivers in the west(co,wy,nb,sd etc)

Thanks for any tip or tricks in using them

I use spoons for trout, not so much for walleyes. Hmmm, should work though. I use a rubber snubber (trout have soft mouths), leader, swivel and just troll. Usually yellow/red, orange, green, silver, gold - combos. Daredevils, little cleo, lots of them I can't think of the names. Sorry.

Well good luck, start out with some different ones. The bent one, looks like a "U", one is bumpy. LOL I just buy them and try them, you get a feel for colors and flash/action. Sometimes the weird one nobody has tried is the new hot setup.

P.S. Add a nightcrawler to your spoon treble hooks or hook, trout/salmon add some nibblets corn soaked in Ainse oil.

Here are the ones I have been using, great on walleye and trout. A major problem with spoons is the paint does not stay on them, these spoons have paint that stays where you need it...on the spoon! Trout aren't tough on the paint but toothy fish ruin a paint job on a spoon pretty quick.

I troll these off dispies or leadcore. I run on average of 2.4 - 3.0 mph. Be sure to have a leader with swivel on each end, with speed like that things want to knot up. On the dipsies you will already have a leader but on my leadcore setups I tie a short 2' leader with snap swivels on each end.
