Ask your dad or your grandad, they are the generation that started off with a spoon. A spoon? Yes, with a spoon like our Dr. Spoon you will catch pike, but also perch and zander. It flashes and if you let it sink, the silver side will come up so that you can follow it down. If a fish takes it while it sinks, you will see the silver disappear and you can set the hook! Perfect to use on shallow waters, but dont think it wont catch fish on the big lakes, who uses a spoon there.
