When fishing with a spoon most times you are chasing schooling bass. These bass are chasing schools of Threadfin Shad, these shad have a small black dot right behind their gill plates. Take a black permanent marker and mark that same black dot on your spoon on both side of the spoon about a ¼ inch in size. This makes your spoon look more realistic and will attract fish that are used to seeing the same type of spoon everyday.
