The spoon may be for some a lure that is used exclusively in freshwater fish fishing. But nothing further from reality, the teaspoon is really versatile and when used in the sea it allows to get very good pieces and make the days very interesting.
The important thing to consider with spoon fishing that the appropriate one is selected for the species of interest and that a good technique be used to get the most out of its use.

spoon fishing in the sea
As we already anticipated, thanks to the use of the spoon we can intuit that the lateral line of the fish is activated by feeling the vibration of these, even at good distances. To take advantage of this, it will be necessary to place it as a lure on a rod that allows a good cast and retrieval.
Types of teaspoons
We can find a wide variety of teaspoons on the market, some undulating and other rotating (kuru kuru for sea). The first ones can give a very good weight to the cast and cause an undulating movement when reeling in the line, the second ones usually make rotating movements, like a propeller, this rotational movement is effective since it simulates small fish.
The advice when selecting each one is to determine the type of environment to fish:
- For clear water areas golden spoons come in handy.
- En muddy waters the chrome or silver ones are perfect.
- En crystal clear waters dark teaspoons can help you much more.
