I brought the spoon to lacey marine they gave me a new one and are returning the old very nice of them.Im a retired sheet metal worker and have made a few of my own out of heavy gage aluminum i just made i heavyer weight.I repainted an old Maja spoon black never saw one like that but figured black plugs do good so why not.It almost looks too good to put in the water.Must admit I have only caught big blues on the spoons.I did buy a mojo 36 oz. going to give that a try.I'll let you know how they do .Thanks
