It would probably be instructive, and fun, if you decided to post your videos.

The vedio was a commercial not very instructional unless you want to loose lots of snagged spoons.
Spoon are usually fast feeders moving with Threadfin Shad schools and suspended, not on bottom.
Your sonar unit is extremely important and knowing what type little birds, pied bill or western greibs, is important to determine what depth and direction the Shad school is moving.
Techniques vary depending spoon size and shape, adding chicken feathered premium treble hooks is one the most important spoon mods you can make to improve strike ratio's.
Mark you don't need spoons in the delta, you need a fillet knife and agree Kelly should do a video!
