Spoons as the name suggests came from kitchen spoons. Cut the bowl from the handle. Drill a hole at either end. Attach a split ring at one end and a split ring and a hook at the other and away to go!!!!!!!!!!
The Blair spoon has bumps along one side which cause turbulence which is so say attractive............
Spinning blade or Mepps has now become a standard name in Europe for this type of lure. A blade rotates around the body of the lure. This style tends to cause the line to become twisted unless used with a weight or vane and must have swivel/s. As with all good things there are lots of imitations. Simple silver or gold in size 3 works well...........
Good luck on your fishing.......
