Based on my limited experience the maps and my surface temp gauge rarely agree....most reliable is a phone call to a guy who is on the lake.

2nd hand moonshines are hard to find, I would suggest the spending the long dollar for new ones in the colors jam suggested, I would add Ratchet Jaw mags and Green Shorts standards.

Same here Tim. I've tried with and w/o split rings also. Had one good morning with it a couple years ago and squat since.
I don't know what to tell you other than my theory that particular lures don't catch fish, rather fishermen catch fish when they present a lure effectively. Refining a presentation of baits based on experience is a skill that all us fishermen possess. Another skill is the ability to read conditions, and still another is the ability to read baits, years ago a captain taught me how to read a spoon -- that is to look at a bait and determine the conditions under which it will be effective as well as how/if the bait will be compatible with other lures in the spread.
I am sure that both you and Tim have baits that fit into your presentation and you should stick with what you know.
gbj92 should give the carbon 14 a try as he establishes his presentation strategy. To round out the other 5 spoons please go to the reports threads here on lou or the website below and review the reports pages where some successful spoons are chronicled over the last two seasons.

Sometimes you have to squirm to get off the hook.

Copper/lead core depths

Copper and a 1# drop weight or monkey balls on 30# power pro will do the trick and you have a more sporty fight!, use a tin whistle or a jettison release.
