Midway97 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yes, the guides do help give you an idea what speeds various spoon run best at. Trial and error and speed at the ball help also. But I think the general speeds vary from 1.5-3.5 (GPS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixshooter Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 it is pretty much all trial and error. It all depends on how much bend is in the spoon and the weight has something to do with it. However, I can troll my stinger spoons every bit as fast as the dreamweavers. Most of it has to do with the sape and the cup the spoon has in it's curves.Toss it over the side of the boat and see if it spins out or not. Or another tell tail sign is if you have major line twist when you retrieve a spoon from a rigger or a dipsy...although if you have good swivels that won't be a good tell tail.
