The Doo-Dads 1/2 oz Casting Spoons can be casted or trolled. For Northerns cast the Doo-Dad along weed-lines, or into gaps found in rushes. We recommended using 12#-15# test line, and use a 6"-9" steel-on, or wire leader that is equipped with a good snap and swivel. The Doo-Dad casting spoons have been used effectively with a down-rigger system for Salmon and Trout. The Doo-Dad can also be vertically jigged through the ice for Northerns and Lake Trout. 1/2 oz. has a #1 Treble Hook.
