Spoon Sizes
When it comes to sizes there is no hard and fast
rule. The norm is to match the spoon size with the
targeted fish species (or average fish sizes). Example would be larger spoons for giant snakeheads
(toman), mackerels, etc., and smaller spoons for
smaller fishes such as tarpons (Indo-Pacific tarpon), permits, etc.

This is not to say that larger fish will not take small
spoons and small fishes do not take larger spoons.

Things to take note are:a. The larger the spoon, the more flash it emits.
b. The larger the spoon the better it is seen.
c. The larger the spoon, the higher the resistance
underwater.
