"Eight 'n Bait" is a phrase common to the North Carolina coast. It refers to an 8 ounce (or more) pyramid sinker to hold heavy current bottoms, along with a huge chunk of cut fish for bait. To cast such a weighty offering the outfits I saw during recent trips to the famed Outer Banks looked more like pole vaulting tools than fishing rods! Imagine the surprise of onlookers when I hit the beach only toting a much easier managed pole, at most one third the length of any other rod I saw! Of course, I had an " ace up my sleeve" as I chucked out a compact slab spoon (made of lead rather than brass or steel); my audience discovered nothing throws further than the heavy metal propelled by springs on my pole!
Way back in the 1950s, renowned angling writer Jason Lucas, possibly the best all around bass fisherman ever, discussed his favorite "catch anything" lure - a standard red & white metal spoon on which he had switched the standard treble hook for a tiny single hook panfish fly. While the spoon fluttered down during a stop 'n drop type retrieve, the enticing trailing fly drew in everything from bluegill to muskie. So, after some research and on the water experimentation, I've found new,unique methods to attach my homemade. lightweight (1/32 -1/20 oz) trout/crappie jigs to dense, though limited length, lead spoons. Fish can easily inhale my free swinging, furry little ties, in a method I call "jiggeespoonin'. "
My first thoughts gelled as I read of modern deep sea jiggers who vertical fish 10" oblong slab spoons which weigh 8 oz to a pound or more. Working near bottom in 200-500' bottoms, they tie on strong single hooks at the TOP of their jig-spoons to reduce snagging, then reel fast and rod twitch their way back to boatside. From this lead I began vertical jigging, a natural for any of the superior leverage fishing rods I use, with my jiggee snapped on the same split ring that holds the head of my slab spoon. Looks unusual, with all hardware up top, but fish have no trouble inhaling the small hair jiggee that contains the sharp, #6 hook!
Next, I took note of Florida pompano methods. The hottest technique for these feisty "saltwater bluegills" is to take a bottom walking chunk of lead, again spoon shaped, and attach a brightly colored fly at the front with a loop knot. Tho' the slab spoon carries a rear hook, experts tell me that 90% of all species are hooked on the tiny fly up front. For my freshwater application, I leave off the rear hook altogether and simply loop knot one of my 1/32 oz jiggees along with the forward hole or split ring of a flat slab spoon, elongated jig head, or even a standard brass spoon blade. Jump this conglomeration off bottom and upon settling the more water resistant jiggee separates to offer investigating fish easy pickens!
Finally, a few "old salts", faced with constant wavy waters, began pouring standard,but heavy, ballhead jigs with swivels out the tail ends rather than hooks. They attach flies via split rings and have a free swinging offering which is more easily sucked in than a rigid jig hook. I mimicked this by attaching my jiggees with a 1-2" "stinger" section of thin braided line to the forward, hookless slab. Employing a prototype of this rig, I once worked 15-20' humps on a major river, easily picking up big numbers of huge, untapped perch and bluegill - until the smallmouth bass and pike took over the jiggee munchin' chores!
Anytime you encounter deeper waters, wind, current, or necessity to cast to distant structures, try a bit of jiggeespoonin'. A spring loaded fishing rod will launch these compact rockets with an ease that no other lure can match!
