ahh yes. the later line. spoons and spinners. also shad body vs minnow body arguments. good times. i guess ive never really thought of spoons as lateral line baits. ive always migrated toward shiny ones that give a really good flash in the sun. i use them more in clear water on sunny days than anything else. with that said though im not a huge spoon guy so i guess my experience lacks.

my lateral line fishing goes mostly on spinners. willows vs colorado. most of my success has come on dual willow arrangements.
