WELL'S SPOONS

In Mt. Vernon, WA years ago a gentleman by the name of Wells developed a thin brass spoon for casting with a fly rod. The Wells spoon is hand made out of thin material. These spoons (which were highly sought after) have a great action because lighter metal used. Wells also discovered they worked well in bigger sizes for any type of salmon or trout......the spoon is a popular trolling lure in Sheridan lake ....that's where I found out about them. Mr. Wells passed away some years ago and as fas as I know no one else is making the Wells spoon anymore.
I also make small flashers....

The price of these lures are 3 for 10 dollars
Over 21/2 inches are 3.50 to 4.00 ea...
Flashers are 5.00 ea
The 2 inch range is the best for trout
 Approx. 1 inch lures are made for casting with a fly
