A lightweight fluttering spoon is preferred for rough ground situations for particularly cod and ling in the normally clear waters around Ireland and Scotland where a lot of fishing takes place on the drift. More elongated shapes, that are arguably less species-specific, are more often used in situations where tackle loses can be expected. Stumpy shaped flasher spoons like the Delta Sonar and discontinued ABU Rauto are commonly associated with plaice fishing over mixed and clean ground. As a rule, shop-bought versions are fairly heavy which can be a problem as they can quickly snag if used over rough ground. They tend to be around five inches long, and either flat-bodied, or slightly concave in shape. Pukka machine-pressed metal flasher/flutter spoons normally come in nickel/chrome, coloured or hammered finishes, and are far from cheap. ![]() These can provide the base material for making excellent light flasher spoons, also known as flutter spoons, for boat fishing. Take for example the tops/bases from large soup or pie tins that get binned without a second thought. At the expense of a little time and imagination, many everyday household discards can be turned into surprisingly effective items of fishing end-tackle.
