I started using the 1/16 slender spoons last year and was convinced they would not work for panfish. Man was I wrong. Love the silver / silver and silver glow and recently did well on perch and gills with the silver / green. Very nice people too I might add. They are based in Coralville, Iowa, about 15 minutes from me, so I stop in a couple times per year to pick up some gear. About time for me to get together another order after my friends keep "borrowing" my slender spoons.
