.....the soup is served !

Some medium sized spoons made out of old stainless steel soup spoons , that I purchased this winter for very little money on a local fleamarket .

Many anglers know about soup spoons , with the handle cut off , to be quite useful lures for pike . I never liked their action too much , so I thought about how to get such a spoon closer to the shape of a "real" lure .

Well , it takes an industrial grade , powerful grinding wheel to grind off the sides of the soup spoon , according to some felt pen outlines made after eyesight , to get into a sufficient outer shape of a pike-lure . The handle is sawed off after the shape is completed , the saw-cut also ground smooth .

Now the cupping off the spoon should be flattened a bit with a plastic hammer on an anvil or a steelplate , the distinctive S-shape of a spoon is achieved by holdind the front of lure flat and under an angle onto the anvil , some hits with the plastic hammer , a bit down the front end(towards tail), that's it !

Drill the holes , assemble , decorate if you please.... and head for the waters:) !
