Title: little cleos
Post by: bald_seagull on October 05, 2014, 12:17:27 PM
ive pretty much lost most of my 1/3 and 2/5 little cleos
and i cant recall seeing little cleos in any of the shops ive been to out here
is there anywhere around that sells them or am i gonna have to try out r & b spoons

blue and silver little cleos below the float were the ticket for me this morning, landed and released 3 beauty springs

loving everyday's trailer hook technique, i only missed one hit this morning, ive just been using 15 lb seagaur sts to tie the hooks on seems to hold up just fine with a doulbe up polymar knot to the spoon and a double up double davy to the hook

Riverside Tackle in Coquitlam used to carry them. Give them a call

Little Cleo spoons look a lot like Lunkerhunt micro-spoons.  Maybe you can give the Lunkerhunt a try too.  I've seen them at Canadian tire:

Ya I've check new west army navy, sea run and Burnaby ct
Don't remember seeing them in riverside but worth a shot probably doesn't matter the brand I just prefer lures I'm confident in

Except the little cleo's used for Salmon and Steelhead fishing are not thin micro spoons, they are thicker, wider, heavier and longer.

The Blue Fox Strobe is a very close alternative too the Little Cleo; we have some at the Vancouver Army and Navy Store.

I think West Coast Tackle in Vancouver had some Little Cleos' last time I went there; but I would call Brian and confirm @ (604) 254-0004.

The Gibbs Ultra is a close approximation of the Little Cleo.

Cleos are thicker and have more color options if you can find them, like watermelon etc
Ultra spoons have the best Silver finish
The B F strobe has a nice hammered option but i found them too thin
Gibbs coho in a #35 is great too, more colors every year
or use something different like a k3 wobbler
most of these are in my vest lol
