Best brand spoon.

[FISHBANDIT]

I want to know what ur favorite spoon brand is, I like the NKs but the paint peals off within a season. Could be due to the amount of use they get. What do you think is the longest lasting and best producing brand, not color or size just the brand?

My vote for longest lasting paint might have to go to Moonshine.

Pacific Troller's. They hold up great in the salt water.

[Yankee Troller]

My vote for longest lasting paint might have to go to Moonshine.

Gonna have to agree there! However, your subject line asks best brand of spoon, and I'm here to tell you they all catch fish! Each brand has it's days.

[Silver Fox]

I agree with yank.My most popular are Dreamweaver Super slims, Stinger Stingrays, YECK magnums(5 and1/4") and NK 28's when its rough out.

Spoons have their days and too many variables to say just one. The spoons that spend the most time in the water on my boat are DW, NK, and Stingers.

[Tall Tails]

I agree with the above comments I run what is working that day. My go to spoons are Silver Streaks, Warriors and Fuzzy Bears(DW)

DW Super Slims are "tits" on Erie, love NKs, Streaks, and DW Mags on the O.

[Gill-T]

I think I have them all......I would have to vote for Northport Nailers for their paint jobs, and NK's for durability (best split rings and stock hooks). Can't pick a specific brand over another because as mentioned I use all brands, but if I am making my decision based purely on amount of time spent in the water........Northport Nailers, Dreamweaver SS, NK's, Michigan Stingers then everyone else lumped equally.

[Storm Warning II]

I can also add that I REALLY like NK28s when the "turn and burn" troll is on. They seem to excel at "higher" speeds more so than the other brands in my experience, and that goes for both Erie and Ontario.

[Tank]

Stingers(stingray/mags) for producing, not for the paint. Silver Streaks, R&R's and Warriors for both producing and paint. Occasionally NK's. Tank

[ReelPower]

Pro Kings have a unique action, catch a bunch with 'em. Moonshines are hard to beat for bottom buggers.

[Splitshot115]

R & R's have been outstanding for me.

I tend to switch things up, too. It all depends on the day, but I typically run a variety of spoons from DW and Michigan Stinger. Every now and then I will put the NK's out. All do well for us.

[Self Censored]

Spoons are great, very forgiving. They all work from the slow troll suttons and evil eye to rip snorting pirate 66's at 4mph. The last several years I have been fishing with 80% Moonshines, while I have several hundred of them, I find myself using the same 15 all the time and they have lasted. 100% made in USA

The most durable lure I own is a NK 28 in black and white, with the window lure pattern, it has fished every season since 1987 and has outlasted many hooks and splitrings.

I will say the stingers are great lures, but rarely do the paint jobs hold up past a limit or two of fish.

Dreamweavers are great and will last longer than the Stingers, but I am not a fan of the company -- they seem to be more imitatiors than innovators when it comes to spoons, I think the superslims are their most innovative but the pait does not last on them.

The best advice on spoons is to become profecient with a handful of them, know what colors to run and when to run them. Then suplement your regular offerings with the HOT spoon of the port/year/day/species.

Not for nothing, but I'm still waiting for paint to come off my DW stuff. It's not happening. Also, they seem to be at the front of the pack with new stuff. Would like to hear an example of what they have imitated. You sound like you have an axe to grind more than anything.

[Big Dave]

Best spoon is the one in the fishes mouth!!! They all have their day and they all have their sweet spot with speed. They won't work together most of the time.

[Missdemeanor]

It depends on the speed I'm trolling at....If the fish like a fast presentation then the NK's, and Regular DW's go out...Slower speeds Stingers, evil eyes, and super slims.....If the fish like the bigger spoons, then I pull out the Yeck mags. They are one of the biggest Mags on the market. Last year I started running more Yecks and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.....They do well at slower speeds and those mags really produced.....Scotty Care to chime in?

[Silver Fox]

Yeah man, magnum Obama kicks arse as a spoon NOT as a president.

Stingers are good but the paint comes off faster than any other products out there. I mean 45 min on a rigger without a bite and the spoon was a blank. .

silverstreak, DW, and NK. are all great, and I am looking forward to DW green halo out this year.
