Spoons!

Anybody see the article Heavy Metal on the Bassmaster website? It really got me thinking about how effective and reliable these easily overlooked, age-old lures can really be. It doesn't take too much tackle, lures are fairly inexpensive, yet these baits catch fish!

I need to know really what action and power rods would be used using this technique. I was thinking something along the lines of a 6'-6'6'' Medium/Heavy or Heavy for those larger, one to two ounce baits. Spinning or casting? I was thinking spinning would be easier due to the fact that you are rarely "casting" the lures, but rather "dropping" them into the schools of those cold, winter bass.

Any opinions will be highly helpful!
