I carry 3-4 different sizes up to 1/2 oz. Sometimes they want one size more than the others, plus spoons are so cheap that carrying extra doesn't cost that much. I use the 1/2 oz. mainly to punch through a stiff breeze.

| I use 1/2 up to one ounce or so on trout rods then up to about 5 ounces on the long rods if you count Kastmasters, Spooners etc that we use to sling to Jacks, and other bigger gamefish. |

Some times the Ladyfish are so agressive, one can loose a lot of tackle. I started using a light wire leader with my spoons. I read this in the book Plugger.

Since I'm targeting trout, I use my bay rod and 12 lb line with 20 lb fluorocarbon leader. When the smacks come in, I will put on a wire leader. (When the ladyfish are that thick I'll pack up and move down the beach. Sometimes you can't dodge them however.  )
