Will a HOMEMADE SPOON Catch Fish?? (Fishing Experiment)

Can you make a fishing spoon lure out of a teaspoon? Today we attempt to create a fishing spoon lure form a normal everyday kitchen spoon you would use to eat cereal. We then take our homemade fishing lure to the saltwater fishig pier and the beach to put it to the test and see if it can catch a fish. What kind of fish could possibly be around and bite this? Can we actually make a spoon lure.. will it work?? We have a rod, reel, a spoon and a dream.. today we find out if a homemade spoon can catch fish. I did not expect for this to happen..

Have you ever made your own lure?? 🤔🎣 Should I try out other DIY lures?? Thanks for being here yall!

[@alexmartin7835]

They sell soft plastic molds on Amazon

You can make a lure from almost anything. Its part skill and part finding a hungry fish. Seen a guy catch a bass on a wrist watch once. And I've caught many on a bare hook. Cool video!

[@hcgelderblom8687]

Nice homemade spoons man I love your videos I would like to see more homemade lure videos. Just a tip kobalt drill bits works great on S/S. The standard drill bits gets blunt to quickly.

Fishing at my local pier so surprised I haven't ran into my favorite KZbinr yet. Love the videos Mike been watching for a long time.

[@markthompson7503]

Look at this kid from Delaware making his own lures!!!! Nice catch too!

[@myreRL]

I suggest you tie steel leader so those blue fish and mackerel do not cut through as easily. You can buy pre made steel leader and tie it on and just hook up the gotchu plug. Love you videos man ❤

[@ArtistBrianSheffield]

Try a butterknife. Use two sets of pliers and get a small twist in it. Drill your holes first. Don't cut it. Use the heavy end for the swivel light end for the hook. Dip the drillbit in oil before drilling.

[@lucky88711]

Been binge watching the salt water videos keep it up

[@zombiebitefishing]

That was so cool! I actually bought an old tackle box once, with lures and tackle, and had some homemade spoons just like that one 😅

[@Bass59]

Yeah I know blue fish get to be like 15. To 20 lb here in New York we call them alligator Blues the ones that you guys are catching we call them cocktail Blues but we get a lot of them mid-spring till the end of fall we catch them on Bunker which is a bait fish and Diamond jigs

[@bokettom]

I’ve lost way too many gotcha plugs and Xraps to Spanish and blues over the years. I started using a small 18-20” piece of 20lb seven strand wire with a figure 8 knot on one end with a split ring for the lure and a swivel on the other end to attach your braid to.

[@DiskiDomain]

That's a Shad right? They so crazy here in South Africa some days. You can take the inside shiny paper of a cigarette box and wrap it around your hook and they'll go for it lol

[@Chasedidathing123-qs6xt]

Love the vid it great keep up the good work😀😀😀

[@michaeljorgensen1984]

Cold beer after work and a new FSF drop lets goo🔥

[@BuddyDaigle-eb2dy]

Watched it. Make a simple modification. Straighten out the hook closest to the center and stick a curltail plastic. You'll get some fish. Louisiana fishing , I believe that will work and for a more streamline presentation put egg weight on the main line at least 30 " in front of the spoon.

[@numanbastug6]

Hey i had a question, what is your setup you used in this video? I go fishing for blues and macs pretty often and i need to upgrade my combo. Anyway keep up the good work!❤

[@Peter-uh5oo]

Yes. It will catch fish. Tried back in 1989 December during monsoon season. Caught lots of kingfisher. It's a memory last me a life time. Aluminium, brass or stainless steel. It all works.

[@rtvcrow8106]

this type content with the fishing as well >

[@krisvind1715]

What i do when fishing light lures, is popping on a spirolino float, it serves as a casting weigth as well sinking to your prefered debt, spirolino/bombarda floats comes in different varieties, some of them float on the surface, some sink to 1 meter, some sink to 2 meters etc.

[@Dimetropteryx]

Yeah this is what people used in my neck of the woods back before you could simply buy whatever lures you wanted.

[@Zaedenbeaman-ib2mj]

Hi I love your vids that you for the content its great.

[@RomeGod177]

I from Minnesota, we fish in -30 degree weather 😂😂. So 50 is a hot day and great day fishing 😂😂😂

[@Mokeh69420]

it looks quite realistic but I most definitely would use it only at calm lakes or resevoir because these type of lures do get stuck easily even when you replave the hooks

[@Atomized.]

“Hey bro what you tossing?” Oh just a spoon

[@mitchellwest174]

[@FirstStateFishing]

Appreciate you!!

[@Juan5.7]

I fw you and watch your videos cuz I really don’t know how to fish salt water and watching you give me advice to know how to

[@jonathanlin9806]

Quick tip. Hammer and a nail through the spoon to get it started than the drill bit can go in and largen out the hole.

[@user-yo4pu3oq5e]

Yo im a big fan of you love your vids

[@BuddyDaigle-eb2dy]

Add straighten center hook and add a curl tail soft plastic or homemade bucktail. La. Fishing experience. Try , it'll work . Super glue curtail and barb will help it stay on.

[@victorguerin5252]

Also. Paint a snake stripe onto it. For more illusional wiggle action. Daredevil style.

[@joefrank627]

They make specific drill bits for metal but you can use wood drill bits just use oil as a lubricant you'll dull them but in a bind lol, a clamp would help hold it when drilling to, a piece of wood with worm scent will attract fish lol

[@Double-xposure]

My last weeks curiosity 😂

[@mirandahotspring4019]

Yes! I have actually done that! I was fishing, trolling for salmon, with friends and lost my last lure. I cut the handle off a spoon, drilled a couple of holes in it, added a hook and a bit of red insulation tape, (silver with a flash of red works here) and a swivel. I tied it on, let it out and got a salmon on my second try!

[@picklerix6162]

I have never had a lot of luck with any kind of spoon in salt or fresh water. The only thing that I caught on a spoon was a little baby sand shark. An old timer once told me that he use to go fishing in Texas in the late 50’s when he was a kid. He said that you could catch bass all day using just a spoon. He said that catching and releasing small bass teaches them to avoid certain types of lures, especially spoons. In the old days, he said that people would keep the small bass because there were no size restrictions. I find it funny that there are all types of restrictions on redfish nowadays. Back in the 50’s, redfish were plentiful and were considered trash fish. People would net them by the hundreds and grind them up for fertilizer. Nobody thought about eating them in those days before blackened redfish became a hot commodity but that’s another story for another day.

[@dadentist6757]

Actually came out nice

[@alexmartin7835]

Spoons never let ya down bought or built

[@Felix374-mf5qg]

I’m in Florida rn and I agree it was so windy yesterday

[@DarrenAndOzzy]

These do work and work better than store bought lures! I live in the UK and used these home made spoons for Pike and I only ever caught Pike on these, never the fancy store bought lures...

[@FreedomFishingStAugustine]

I enjoy your videos especially the ones around Jacksonville. I live near Saint Augustine and have a small KZbin fishing channel. If you ever want to hook up and go out on the boat in Saint Augustine let me know. That could be fun! Keep up the good work.

[@ronchabale]

Drilling stainless - low revs and a lot of feed force, thick oil. Thing is with stainless it is actually quite soft but it tempers fast with heat therefore the low revs etc. Think it could be easier to punch a hole with like a 3mm sharpened punch and a bit of hardwood behind.

[@Jacemang_Outdoors]

Interesting custom lure

[@HowieFeltersnatch1]

“Dude look at this spoon! I made it out of like, a spoon.”

[@SHO_365]

The trick to drilling stainless is taking it nice and slow and you can use about any bi-metal bit that you want. Nickel, cobalt, you name it. I like the dewalt bits. Start with the smallest bit you have and drill a pilot hole then step it up. Anyways, keep killing it man! Love your vids. 🔥

[@simpletanks2624]

Fun idea cool that it worked

[@JoeyEnn]

I've seen videos on using flies for redfish. Might be something you might want to try once.

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

I did this back in the 70's. It worked for me on Largemouth Bass and Chain Pickerel.

[@KennethKarnes-rm8lk]

Nice lure.

[@user-uh5dg3ne4b]

I really liked this video, I was just wondering why you didn't try the long end as well 🤔 😊

[@sailingbrewer]

To drill SS or any hard metal use low speed low pressure and lube to dissipate heat. You might want to hit a thrift store instead of a $1 store. You're more likely to get a higher grade of SS so your spoon will last longer, and you can find different sizes

[@BingB0ng0000]

The drill bit was definitely going in reverse

[@albertmdh]

clamping the spoon down to a sturdy surface and an appropriate metal bit should make the drilling easier.

[@Felix374-mf5qg]

I love making my own lures !

[@kyox89]

Ngl if my intrusive ideas came out as good as that, I would be bragging abt it to whoever would listen too. 😅

[@ElDanMan]

“Reel it in with your reel”

[@ezekielcapps7155]

Haha I caught that to, it killed me😂

[@ferdinandh5103]

Try a bubble rig in front of the spoon with a 3 ft leader when casting off the pier

[@BackWaterAnglers]

You should do a FORK VS SPOON video, see which cathes more fish?!?! 🥄×🍴= 🐟 🤣 🎣💪

[@Justhimself54]

bro so fire but reel it a little slower because the fish at cold weather are really lazy and dont want to chase anything too much so yea.

[@britishbuckwheat9092]

the reason why it was hard to drill was not really the bit. it was that you had the drill drilling backwards... stick to fishing LOVE YOU BRO

I have caught fish with a spoon I cut it put 2 holes in it then with a hammer I pounded the outside of the spoon to make the fish scale look I caught quite a few fish with it

[@bantoldude]

Is that a Shimano Sienna spinning combo?

[@caffeinatedcamper8214]

Bro I could be wrong but I think you had the drill in reverse. even a dull wood bit should atleast bite a bit lol, unless it's in reverse. I grew up on Dewalt and the selector looked like it was on resverse and that would be your culprit. Sweet video though I like the peir stuff

[@jamesknittle570]

you should use titanium or carbide drill bits for stainless steel

[@Ashen_Siren]

I want to see a follow up video of that rainbow spoon he had that would be wild

[@kameronjones6633]

I used to laugh at people for paying so much for lures, but now bloodworms like $20🤦🏾‍♂️

[@davidseiberling5788]

I think the issue was the shape. Maybe during the pogie run, it would be more effective.

[@scottkellogg8145]

I was pierre fishing in the golf of Mexico here in spring hill Florida and cought a big stingray

[@Gambitbeer]

You could put some red wool on tail end of spoon

[@patricklarue2023]

I used a tea spoon and a trebble hook. Cut the handle back just enough to attach a swivel

[@samuelsellers3829]

What I do if the blue fish are short striking is tie a piece of wire off the back eye of the spoon and put on a single hook Buck tail fly or some kind of single hook back there so they get snagged or eat it first

[@malissajames7818]

What kind of fishing pole and reel do you use in this video?

[@L0stG0d]

Freshwater.... I catch more on my home made spoons Vs the "Daredevils". Light sand one side... Apply any fancy wacky design you want... Seal with a clear coat finger nail polish. Must Have a Swivel attached to them! Or you will just wrap and knot your entire spool off line.

[@vitalikbulbotka5371]

What rod and reel do you use?

[@bruceybuckets]

Carbide drill bits brother!

[@seahad4744]

If any jacks are around, i could see the murdering that spoon lure. It might be worth to have the egg weight tied down at the spoon. I could see the hook up being tough with the fishing being able to get leeway from the weight being up on the line.

[@jonmenges2256]

What rod was that it looked like something was peeling off it...

[@muhdhafiidz1206]
