Hi all.
I bought a bushwhacker pole from a friend and didn't realise it had the larger spoon on it until I received it. It could come in useful, but I would prefer the smaller bushwhacker spoon.
I emailed Nash twice about buying one as a spare, but haven't had a response. My local tackle shop said that Nash will only sell a spoon to someone who has bought a pole from new through a shop, and that's £90.
Allthings3D do a copy spoon, but it's a similar size to the large spoon I already have. They said they can make one 30% smaller which would be great, but have said they'll get back to me 3 times with a price and haven't, so I've given up there.
I've seen that Habec-Tec do a 'mini spoon' which looks promising, but their website is down and I'm awaiting a response, so not sure if they're still trading. Would like to know dimensions and whether it's buoyant enough to be used with a 30m pole if still available.
Another option was to use a standard baiting spoon with pipe lagging attached, and have an adapter made so it fits the bushwhacker pole.
Thought i'd ask on here in case I'm missing something or in case anyone has any bright ideas for a smaller spoon.
Thank you.

Thanks for your response Matt. This is the Allthings3D spoon that I referred to.

I've got the 3d screw on spoon. They're fairly small, smaller than the standard Nash I would have thought. I've wrapped pipe lagging around the float tubes on mine.

I have the all things 3d one too. It is smaller than the standard Nash one so I'd imagine it would suit the OP. Like you I have added some pipe lagging to the floats.

Try calling Nash, I've needed a few spares from them and they've always been brilliant over the phone but haven't replied to emails.
I'd be wary of a 3D printed one, I 3D print non fishing things and they have a tedency to be / become brittle and are susceptible to deforming in strong direct sunlight

Have a look on market place or e bay, there was a time when extra poles were so hard to come by that guys were buying two complete sets, leaving them with a spare spoon, top and bottom pole, these often come up for sale around £50.

I bought a spoon from All things 3D & it fell apart within a year with very little use
