Top Spoons for Alaska Silvers

During my recent trip to Pumice Creek Lodge on the Alaska Peninsula, we had excellent results using pixee spoons and moonshine casting spoons.  The pixee spoon is a heavy 7/8oz which gets deep in the fastest rivers.  They are available in several finishes, nickel, gold, painted, and metallic.  Their hammered finish facets reflect more light increasing the spoons flash.  They have a fluorescent plastic egg imitation insert embedded in the middle of the spoon.
During our stay we used the metallic hot pink/ fluorescent red insert and the metallic red/ fluorescent orange insert.  We replaced the hooks with 5/0 openeye Siwash single hooks from Gamakatsu.
We also had excellent results using Moonshine casting spoons in the 3/4oz size.  The hot color was Glow Bloody Nose.  These spoons have a super glow coating which is perfect for low light conditions.  The moonshine spoon has more of a side to side wobble when compared to the pixee spoon.
