About This Lure
A concave metal spoon that wobbles on the retrieve and flutters on the fall, great for a range of predators.
How To Fish It
Cast your spoon to structure edges or drop-offs and allow it to flutter down to the target depth before initiating a steady retrieve. Maintain consistent contact with the lure to feel for subtle strikes on the fall, especially when fishing for walleye. Vary your rod tip height to control the spoon's running depth relative to weed lines and submerged timber.
Retrieve Cadence
Execute a slow, steady crank with periodic two-second pauses to allow the spoon to flutter erratically toward the bottom.

Pro Tips
- Replace stock hardware with high-quality ball-bearing swivels to prevent line twist.
- Attach a small piece of pork rind or soft plastic trailer to the hook for added vibration.
- Use a erratic 'jig-and-drop' retrieve to mimic a dying baitfish when targeting lethargic pike.
- Always check your leader for nicks after landing a northern pike due to their sharp teeth.
