Never heard of a Sutton Spoon ? Best trout spoon in my book , made right on Main st Naples ! Stop in , take off your hat , and you will walk back about 50 yrs in time ! Still writes out every phone order , cash register is still a old hand crank model and his desk is a mess ! Still pounds out spoons the old way . Neat Place , I imagine you could google Sutton Spoons and get info , FISH307 is one of his biggest accounts !

I agree , surprised someone fishing that area hadnt heard of them , that is about all I used to use in the Finger Lakes ! Spent my weekends and summers in Prattsburg . Jigger

Thanks for the link !
I ordered a couple of the silver and brass hammered ones . Nice looking spoons , now all we have to do is put them to the test !

1tigger , if you ever get down in Naples , like I said it is a real neat shop to go in . Nice man , might even show you how he makes them . I have one in a shadow box on the wall of my family (trophy) room that he had made right in front of me . Go in November and pick yourself up a couple of grape pies !

[kirkwooders]

Forget the grape pies, buy more spoons instead.

Come on now everyone knows you cant find a better pie than Monica's !

sutton spoons are truely works of art.
i always cringe when i put them on my line and send them into the deep-there's a chance you may never see them again!
years ago i lost my whole 5 leader rig, all suttons. i still remember that sinking feeling in my gut.

1tigger just pm Douglas Conard and he can give you their phone number cause he is friends with the owner.

Sutton spoons are truly works of art.

They are still hand made one at a time.  I am not a Trout fisherman, but I am a craftsman, and I have to respect the time and effort put into every Sutton spoon.  They are truly a work of art, that catches a lot of fish!!!
