Do you guys prefer a spinner or conventional to work those spoons?
Thanks in advance.

You should slay them with Derrick as he’s been on them good.

I’ve been fishing flutter spoons on spinning gear (although I’m not totally happy with the rod I’ve been using) and more than likely will be buying a rod strictly dedicated for flutter spooning after the holidays. 90% sure on which rod I’ll be buying but as yet still undecided if it will be the spinning or conventional model.

I will say that IMHO you want a rod that’s at least 7’6” in length with 8’ being optimal. I feel that the longer rod gives you more of a lift of the spoon when you jig it & thus more ‘flutter time’ on the drop. You also want a rod with a soft tip but with plenty of backbone
