What spoons are must haves in the surf/inlets?

[Stopsign32v]

Well in the NC area I will be fishing the water is very very stained. Not sure if it stays that way or is because of the dredging that has been going on. Anyways I threw some plugs in the surf and came up with some nice fighting blues. Very fun! But I read a lot where people say often that metal spoons is what they always have on them. Well I don't own any spoons. I did just get this one as it was the last one and I like the idea of anything gold in the stained water. Is this a good one? What else do I need to get? I read good things on Kastmaster, DDs, Charlie Graves...

 

Anyways here is the one I have on the way.

Love spoons.  

1oz Kastmaster with a bucktail is my goto.  But I'm branching out.  Keeled squids are gaining on me.

I like Kastmaster and Crippled Herring. Deadly Duck gets a lot of love, but I haven’t had amazing luck.

I like the hammered spoon and shorty for drum. The no=eql will work with blues if you do not have a sting silver.

Kastmasters.

 

Their shape is pretty aerodynamic, while holding decent weight more on the rear end. Meaning it cut through wind, even in headwind, flying for miles.

+1 on the krokodile, amazingly productive in pretty much any area along the coast. But in a crosswind it will catch the wind and become a metal kite for the majority of your cast.
