Any Spoon Fisherman out there?

Hey guys,
              I am launching a new lure line this spring/ Summer and was wondering if there are any serious spoon fisherman out there that would like to try them out/abuse them and let me know how they perform.  I know the steel are sluggish right now and jiggs are definately the ticket but maybe when the water warms up they will get a little more aggressive.  I will also have a line of trolling spoons so if any of you SERIOUS spoon fisherman out there want to test a few out shoot me a e mail telling me:
-How often you fish the great lakes and tribs
-what species you fish for
-what color spoons you prefer
-what weight and length you usually use
-address to mail the spoons to.
 
based on what kind of response I get I may not to give out spoons to all who request but I will try my best.
 
Thanks alot guys!

They should be finished by mid april, I am designing the packaging for them right now along with deciding on what hooks to put on them, I am thinking Owner, Mustad, Gamagatsu or Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp.
 
Thanks for any input on what you would like to see as far as color and finish, length and weight.
 
As always this sight and its members are always very helpfull.
 
thanks again guys!

I will be excited to see what you have developed.  I have always been partial to mustad hooks on the bucktails and jerkbaits I make.  They are the hardest hooks I have found to cut out of a fish, but there are less options when you are using ones for large bucktails and such.  I was also always a fan of the heavier spoons like the cleos because you could control them more with the rod, instead of having to use retrieve speed.  Just my .02.  Good luck with them.

I agree with you on the Cleo comment. My number 1 lure.

e-mail sent.  pm me if you don't get it.  thanks.

green with an orange dot pattern? or brass or silver with green and orange dots?  I aim to please tell me what you guys want im gona have lots of colors.
 
Thanks!

Send me a few sizes in brown trout pattern and I'll tell you what I don't catch with them.  Not too many spoons on the market in that pattern.  At least I haven't found any good ones.

You can never go wrong with blue- or green-chrome.   Any weedless styles?  I'm always looking for weedless, though you'll be hard-pressed to top a Johnson's. 

I am thinking on going to all spoon for walleye this year,would be glad to help out , black and purple or fire tiger.

watermelon, kevorkian, monkey puke, reverse kevorkian, trout, etc, etc. 
 
I could give you a list.  I use spoons trolling Erie in the summer for walleye and steel.  I'd love to see what you have.

Are you going to make any micro sizes such as 1/8 or smaller?
Mike

pm me if you want...I run a charter on Erie and know half the other guys...if you can make stuff that works we go through spoons like candy during the summer. 
 
Are you making trolling spoons or just casting spoons?

Thanks for all the input guys I got about 1K in blades coming sometime next week so after they get the coloring on them and i get the hooks on them i should be able to get a few out to those that PM'd me Thanks for all the info and suggestions on the colors.  Keep it coming!

I will have them in pretty much all sizes probaby starting at about 1.5 inches up to 4-5 inches i didnt like the action o the very very small ones.  I will also have a minnow plug in 2 sizes and walley harnesses.  My websight should hopefully be done within 3 weeks.
 
Thanks again guys
