Bunker Spoon... opinion.
« on: April 14, 2008, 08:03:53 PM »
Youngull, this is the bunker spoon I was telling you about at the party.  It is the only one I found so far and got it at Scotts Bait and Tackle in Tuckerton last year.

There is a read head on a swivel that is about 8 oz or so.  This should replace the use of the wire line.

Anyone seen one like this, and what are you thoughts.
Fish out of Toms River NJ.
Call Nick for open boat, 973-417-5756, or on Channel 68.

Negative Capt, never seen one.  Looks abit difficult to keep from spinning, but not a bad idea.

I was thinking the same thing. Best thing to do is run the boat at trolling speed, set the spoon in the water alongside the boat and watch the action. If it pleases you, go for it.  t^

when ya pull bunker spoons or shad rigs, you have to use wire line, I don't care what kinda contraption is put ahead of it!

For the right action of the spoon, for it to run right in the water and for it to get the right depth, that wire helps immensely!

Looks like a crippled alewive with a mojo head.  I think the DelMarVa folks use these.
