wpoplar Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yesterday, I watched an episode of Inn Fisherman during which they were spoon fishing with a spoon (it looked like a silver Dardevle) that had a "clacker" or "ticker" added to the front of it. The clacker was a short piece of wire maybe 1 1/2" or 2" long with glass and brass beads designed to tap against each other creating a tapping or rattling sound as the lure moved through the water. They caught northern pike, walleye and smallmouth bass (of course they always catch fish on these shows). It looked like a good idea and I was wondering if anyone had used a clacker on spoons like the Williams Wabler, Dardevle, Lucky Strike Half Wave, etc. and might have some advise.

Lucky Eddy Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Years ago dad and I used a spoon with red bead like you described. They were silver or brass. The bead was located inline with the hole that you would tie the line to. It was called Red Eye Spoon, but I don't remember who made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUKDONFAWNIX Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I believe Lucky Strike makes a version of the "Red eye" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey123 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Some times after a night of too much drinking, I make myself a red eye. I am not sure if the fish would likt them or not, but it is worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyman Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I know the lucky strike sounds close,but maybe not exact. Here's a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
