Streater's Thought of the Week

Every weekend Dick Streater gives us his thought of the week, culled from his voluminous files on fishing and tackle history.

Streater's Thought of the Week: The Trolling Spoon is one of the oldest and most successful of artificial baits. The first ones were made from real spoons, or rather the bowl part of one (in dessert size) with a hole in one end for the line and a single hook attached to the other end.
