HiYa Folks,

Just back in off the Briney (due to yet more complete BS on the part of The Dino   ) and want to share some good intel.

We wandered up and worked the area around Esperanza for springs over the course of the last week. From the stomach contents witnessed in a couple hundred "volunteers" it was quickly determined that the menu of choice for the springs was completely focused on krill. NO evidence of herring or any other baitfish was seen in the tummies nor the sounder despite exhaustive searches.

Despite that fact, I was itching to try out a new spoon from ZurTro that really appealed to my somewhat discerning eye, as I was anxious to see if the fish found it as appealing as I did. So, I ran one of their 5 1/2 inch "Rosco" spoons as a test. Here is a picture of the spoon I am referring to:



I am very pleased to report that this new design is an Absolute KILLER! Despite no baitfish presence, the springs WELL indicated that they very much thought this little offering was definitely on the "Hit List"! Over the 4 or 5 days we fished, it was responsible for an awesome number of hook-ups, and managed to land the best sized fish we encountered! Yup, 30 plus pounds of rolling anger in APRIL!! Awesome!   

I am so impressed with this design that I am immediately ordering several dozen of this particular pattern for both commercial and eventually sporting applications. Given it's horrendously great success when there was no bait presence, I am extremely confident it will SHINE extremely well when those do make their appearance this year!

Not all that often I stumble across a terminal that works as well as this one does! Thought I would share this valuable information for those who ply the chuck. Methinks those that are serious at the game will want a few on hand this season to increase the odds of tagging a Biggie! 

Here's the website you can see their other products on, and of course place an order: http://www.zurtrolures.ca/

Will keep ya'll posted as the season progresses and this Killer works it's Magic!    

Cheers,
Nog

You working on commission Nog??  

If it does the trick as you described - me thinks they're going to have to produce more of the 'Roscoe' soon.

Shall be placing an order in the very near future.

BTW - any other colors catch your 'somewhat discerning eye' and what size of hooks did you use (or did they come with some decent hooks already)?  The picture you posted looks quite similar to what they posted on theirs!

I WISH! LOL!

Of course the picture looks "similar" to theirs. It is right off their website! 

I almost always swap the hooks out one the vest majority of spoons I collect. And in this case switched that over to a # 5 stainless commercial "beaked" hook. Those grab on and hold very well.

Kinda like the looks of both their Blue and Green "Dragon" spoons, and will be trying them shortly as well. Will of course let you know how they work out...

Cheers,
Nog

Excellent!!!!  Since shipping is free to us Canadians - I won't have to wait for your 'next' report.

Thanks Nog!  Hope to see you again in Ukee this summer.
