Alright, let’s talk about them little cleo spoons, you know, the shiny things folks use to catch fish. I ain’t no fancy fisherman, but I’ve seen enough to know a thing or two about these lures.
First off, them little cleos, they’re made of some kinda strong metal, not like them flimsy ones that bend easy. And they’re kinda skinny, which I hear is why they sink real deep in the water. That’s good for catchin’ them trout, ya know, the ones that like to hide down deep. But I’ve seen folks catch other fish with ’em too, like them panfish and even them stripey bass. Just don’t go usin’ ‘em in the salty water, they ain’t made for that, I reckon.
Now, some folks like to cast them little cleos out far, and they do fly pretty good. But where they really shine is when you’re trollin’, you know, draggin’ ’em behind the boat. ‘Specially in water that ain’t too deep. That flat kinda shape they got, that helps ’em wobble and wiggle just right, makin’ them fish think it’s somethin’ tasty.
What Size Little Cleo Spoon Should I Use?
Well, that depends on what kinda fish you’re after, I guess. Them little cleos come in all sorts of sizes, from tiny little things to ones that are, well, not so little. I seen folks usin’ the bigger ones for them salmon, and the smaller ones for them trout. The main thing is to match the size of the lure to the size of the fish you’re tryin’ to catch. And don’t forget to check your line and rod too, you don’t wanna go chasin’ a big fish with some itty bitty line.
- For small fish like small trout or panfish, try the smaller sizes, like 1/8 oz or 1/4 oz.
- For bigger trout and bass, go with something in the 1/3 oz to 1/2 oz range.
- If you’re after salmon or other big fish, you might need a 3/4 oz or even a 1 oz Little Cleo.
How to Fish with a Little Cleo Spoon
Fishin’ with these here little cleos ain’t rocket science. Like I said, you can cast ‘em or troll ‘em. If you’re castin’, just throw it out there and reel it in, kinda slow and steady. Sometimes a little twitch or jerk can help get a fish’s attention. If you’re trollin’, just let out enough line to get the lure down to where the fish are, and then just keep the boat movin’. You might need to experiment a bit to find the right speed and depth.
And don’t forget, all them little cleos come with a hook and a ring already attached, so you don’t gotta worry about that. Just tie it on your line and you’re good to go. I hear some folks use a medium-heavy spinnin’ rod, or a trollin’ rod, or even one of them baitcastin’ setups. It all depends on what you like and what kind of fishin’ you’re doin’.
Where to Buy Little Cleo Spoons
Now, where to get your hands on these little cleos? Well, I’ve seen ’em at the fishin’ stores, ya know, the places that sell all sorts of tackle and bait. But I hear you can get ’em online too, on places like that eBay. And they even say you get free shippin’ sometimes, and if you ain’t happy, you get your money back. Can’t beat that, can ya?
Final Thoughts on Little Cleo Spoons
So, there you have it, my two cents on them little cleo spoons. They ain’t magic, but they sure do catch fish. Just remember to pick the right size, fish ’em the right way, and you’ll be bringin’ home dinner in no time. And don’t be afraid to try different colors neither, sometimes them fish are picky. Good luck out there, and happy fishin’!
One more thing, always be safe when you’re out on the water. Wear a life jacket, and let someone know where you’re goin’. And don’t forget to bring some snacks and somethin’ to drink. Fishin’ can be thirsty work!
