Oh, forgot to add - I have caught quite a few plaice on the boat drifting with baited spoons.
They can work quite well on their day but you need the right drift speed and they’re certainly not essential.

I’ve outfished others using them some days, and other days they’ve been poor.

You can’t really go wrong with a beaded flowing trace of about an arm span in length, set as a running ledger.
That’s the default ‘plaice trace’ off a boat and works pretty well in my experience.
