Ordered mine Thursday night (1/17) and they arrived today. Got seven in all mostly silver and gold with varying colors. No reds, mainly blue, glow, chartreuse. Hoping that they ice me a walleye or two this weekend. Don't know much about these spoons, does anyone have and info on presentation, what to tip them with if anything, especially when targeting walleye?
I've heard so much about these slender spoons in the last couple days that I had to try and find some. I checked the gander in new Hartford and what do ya know they were out, no surprise there, I wonder of they ever had any. Oh well, so I called the rest of the ganders in new york and they said they had some but not many and were going fast so I searched ice shanty and found this post and decided to try the hometown place and he actually had them!!!! So i bought all three sizes and all colors he had plus multiples to put my own tapes on and paint myself. So needless to say i was busy last night and made up some of my own colors and headed to oneida this morning...I am now a firm in the slender spion. I limited on walleye in the first hour and moved a bit and got into some nice perch taking 12 home. If your fishing walleye or perch on oneida you need to do yourself a favor and get some of these spoons.

Well I gave my haul of slender spoons a workout for 3 days now. I have nothing to show for it! I tried them tipped with a small shiner, just a pinched off shiner head, Gulp 1" smelt, Gulp minnow heads, and spikes. I tried the big ones 5/16oz, the medium ones 1/4oz, and the small 1/8oz in various colors. I jigged for 2 1/2 hours with them Friday, and drew in one fish (a laker by the way he acted on the flasher) that took a sniff. When I finally changed over to a silver/chartrues pimple, from a silver/chartrues Slender Soon, I got a lake trout (I was fishing for walleye!) before it hit the bottom! Luck? Coincidence? I don't know, but they did nothing for me this weekend....... BIGJim223
Just wondering, do you guys use that little safety snap that's included with the Slender Spoon or tie directly ?
can someone tell me please what size slenderspoons to fish for walleye and color thanks
Cheap hardware ? I have a 3 year old spoon original hardware and has caught a lot of fish on it ... For the new guys .... When you drop it ..it flutters out a distance ... I have caught a lot of fish jigging it and pounding it into the bottom bringing it back to the hole.
I put the slender spoons to the test this last weekend and they do catch fish. Its a unique action that not a lot of fish have seen before. Only one problem- the cheap hardware. I replaced the safety snap, split ring and hook on all the slender spoons I bought. These were all very poor quality. Imagine hooking the largest eye' of the season and having the cheap snap bend and break !!
