About This Lure
An oversized spoon ripped up and allowed to flutter down over deep offshore schools.
How To Fish It
Focus on main lake points, ledges, and deep grass lines where bass suspend. Make a long cast, let the spoon free-spool to the bottom, then aggressively rip it upward with the rod tip to trigger an erratic, dying-baitfish flash. Maintain contact during the fall, as most strikes occur on the slack-line flutter phase.
Retrieve Cadence
Snap the rod tip from the 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock position, then immediately drop the rod tip to allow a 3-4 second free-fall before repeating.

Pro Tips
- Always use a quality ball-bearing swivel to prevent line twist during the rotation of the spoon.
- Watch your line closely; if it jumps or stops unexpectedly during the fall, set the hook immediately.
- Swap out the factory treble hook for a high-quality 2x strong treble to increase landing percentages.
- Experiment with the intensity of your rip; sometimes a shorter, sharper snap triggers fish better than a long sweep.
