Agreed. Someday ill have them all

Do you guys that use them find that tipping them with a fathead's head (as opposed to hooking a live fathead through the nose) have a better bite? I'm going to try this when Oneida gets safe ice.

gotta get me a few of these as ive heard so many good things about them and everything else i have used from CJ&S has been dynamite.

I think anything more than a minnow head would mess up the action of the spoon.

s10xr · « **Reply #6 on:** Jan 16, 2013, 05:31 AM »

Ive used whole/half/ and just the heads. I always hook them down through the skull. but usually I just rip off a half of minnow and jig away. It flutters down fine with no matter what you put on the hook. I prefer to use buckeyes over fat heads.

Fishhunter22 · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 17, 2013, 09:34 PM »

is the 1/4 oz size good for walleyes? or 5/16 oz?

I just saw this thread, but had heard so much good stuff about the Slender Spoons that I had placed an order with Custom Jigs yesterday morning. Seems everybody that sells these (that I could find) is sold out pretty much. If they work half as well as some of the videos and TV shows that have showcased them, I should be happy! I bought my favorite local colors of Silver/Chartreus, Silver/Glow, Gold/Chartreus. I also picked up the Black Chrome/Purple, that looks like a wally killer for my local lake, as I do real well with black/purple spinner rigs during soft water season. No all I need is ice from this clipper coming through!

I did finally order some more yesterday too but I managed to score a few at Gander in Rochester a few weeks ago. I still think my weapon of choice will be the jigging rap though.

according to custom jigs and spins website the slender spoons are out of stock! looks like they're trying to keep up with orders though.

They had all that I ordered in stock. There was a notice that certain sizes/colors were backordered until 1/17. I have not received a shipping notice, but was not informed that the ones I ordered were out of stock either. And I just checked, my
card was charged this morning

gander has them in stock bought a couple on tuesday

My order just arrived today. Amazingly fast since I ordered on Wed. Sorry guys, but there were no red ones in the order and the price was adjusted. I ordered the lure tape on line though. Here is a warning - do not go through Barlows tackle to buy the tape. After the order was placed and I couldn't cancel, I was warned that there was a $4 small order fee! As it was, the order came to $11 plus a ridiculus $6.95 shipping. Screw them and get the red or any other colored tape elsewhere.

Called gander mountain in Rochester and they told me they don't even sell them.....and on here I found out they do...thanks gander

They've got them in Hennrietta not red but blue on silver, green on silver, and green on gold and I think last night I saw a white on gold. The amount of merchandise they have for ice fishing IMO for a big "Outdoor" store like that is pathetic 2 rows of lures and some garbage gander mt rods and gsx.

tundra1 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 19, 2013, 04:11 PM »

$:-\$ no reds in 5/16 but

1/8s came today. along with lots of other colors.....

We have the SIlver/Red in all sizes EXCEPT 5/16th, that will be in stock late next week ( fingers crossed). Demand has been crazy this season. sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you guys.

I found them there too. Their problem is they keep moving things around.

tundra1 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 20, 2013, 06:13 AM »

thanks for update Bob , great spoons. hope to get my new ones wet soon....

BIGJim223 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 01:31 PM »

My order came today, very fast service! Ordered Friday night and have them on Tuesday even with the holiday on Monday.
Nice spoons! I received all the colors I ordered. The glow ones I charged up with a UV light and it gave off a good glow, not the longest lasting glow I have seen, but did OK. I may modify the glow ones I bought with glow paint on the back side for even more attraction. I figure it can't hurt anything.
Can't wait to get out there later in the week and try them on the ice!

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?

emtorn · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 23, 2013, 01:57 AM »

Maybe this is why I haven't managed to pull an eye through the ice on Oneida yet.

........ Just ordered a few......

frostbittin · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 23, 2013, 05:14 AM »

I have about 10 in the colors gander carries, so i just ordered 9 more in different colors from cjs directly last night.
