Technique: This method is often used when fishing from a boat or pier. Drop the spoon straight down to the desired depth and then jig it up and down with short, sharp movements of the rod.
Best For: Vertical jigging with a spoon is excellent for targeting suspended fish or those holding close to underwater structures like rocks or reefs. It’s particularly effective in deep water or during colder months when fish are less active.

Trolling
Technique: Attach the spoon to a trolling setup and move the boat slowly through the water. The spoon's wobbling action will attract fish as it moves through different depths.
Best For: Trolling with a spoon is a great way to cover a large area of water, making it effective for finding and catching fish in lakes or large rivers. It’s particularly useful for species like trout, salmon, and walleye.
