Spoonpluggins is NOT A SCHEME OR GIMMICK

The Spoonplugging Technique is not magic. It is based on proven facts about how a fish behaves. It has not changed since its origination in the 1940s by our Founder, E.L. "Buck" Perry, it caught the limits of lunker bass then, and it does now, too

Spoonplugging is affordable

  • This is not a money scheme or gimmick, and only a relatively minor cost needs to be spent to get going. You don't want to be trying to pull in large bass and muskies with inferior equipment. You decide how much you want to spend.
  • Small boats and small motors are recommended and once you know Spoonplugging techniques, you increase your fishing success - with no fear of strange waters.
  • The tools, boat, and motors recommended for Spoonplugging are very affordable.

Why you can believe the claims made about Spoonplugging and Buck Perry?

Results speak for themselves. Buck Perry was inducted into the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, BASS Hall of Fame, and many other distinctions.. Also, .. the countless big catches made over years and years of Spoonplugging speak for themselves, here are a few (and there are thousands and thousands more.. growing every day)

The information in our newsletter pertains to ALL species of fish

Buck Perry used the Largemouth Bass as the "study" fish for his teachings, due to the fact that he is the most affected by the changes in his environment, and the most difficult fish (in the adult size) to consistently catch. With the Spoonplugging technique, Buck conclusively proved that a fish is a fish is fish, you are able to fish for any species,. the same technique and tools are used for all species

Spoonplugging techniques work in all parts of the country

  • Fish anywhere in the country.. dealing with weedlines up north? or shallow lakes in the deep south? .. these techniques work anywhere and everywhere
  • Spoonpluggers have no fear of strange waters, and will feel "at home" on any lake very quickly. TAKE THE FEAR OUT OF STRANGE WATERS!

The Spoonplugging technique can make you a better fisherman in a short amount of time

Just like anything in life, we can always get better at our chosen field. We will always learn something new, no matter how long we study. Fishing, and Spoonplugging, are no exceptions. Spoonplugging will take time and practice, with the reward of catching fish while you learn! You will be on the path to becoming a very good fisherman; to be able to evaluate a situation and get to where you can have the most success. Even when the conditions are tough, if anyone catches fish that day, a Spoonplugger will be among them.

A Note about getting "skunked"

What you get out of Spoonplugging is what you put into it. If you spend one day a month fishing haphazardly around your lake.. then you can be assured of many "skunked" days on the water. However, this technique is proven to produce, and it places you in control of your own success. If you put the time in.. you will get the results.

All family members can participate in Spoonplugging

At National Spoonpluggers, we believe that fishing is a family affair Spoonplugging is for anyone who believes the reason for going fishing is to catch fish. Spoonplugging is an excellent way for a family to fish together. Any member of your family, regardless of age or experience can enjoy Spoonplugging. When you subscribe to the Spoonplugger publication, you and your immediate family become members of Spoonpluggers of America. All family members can pull in lunkers with these techniques.. in fact, some of the best fish were caught by women and children in our clubs (img of boy with fish / women with fish )
