    Most of the time if I wanted more weight, I put on a heavier spoon. If you need weight above the lure, it might be better if it were fixed-will admit I don't do that often. Also check your casting style, you need the sure to lead, not anything else on the line. Maybe someone else can explain it better.

    The problem with adding weight to a spoon is that the line can get ahead of the spoon on the cast with just the result you describe. Try losing the weight for starters. Tom

    The only time I use a weight with a spoon is when I am straight line trolling.  I agree with "Pegsguy" on casting.  If you are using a small spoon then you will need to use a lighter line and perhaps a lighter action rod.  What I am saying is if you are trying to cast a 1/8 oz spoon (or even 1/2 oz some times) or lighter you will NOT have good luck with 10# test line!  I use 10# and up for 3/4 oz & 1 oz spoons.  I hope this helps!
