Minnow Spoons for All Fresh and Saltwater Gamefish

These spoons are perfect for fresh or saltwater. Practically any gamefish will go after this spoon - if it is presented properly.

This spoon is made of thick, unbendable (.050 diameter) brass and heavily nickel-plated.

The color accents (if any) are on one side only. The other side is always plain nickel finish only. As the spoon rocks and falls - or simply on a steady retrieve - there is a ton of color flash and ample nickel metal flash.

You need to present it properly, so it rocks side-to-side instead of spinning uncontrollably. You need to practice in clear water to understand how best to rig and move the spoon. The size hook is important to make or break the swimming action. So experiment with hook sizes to get it right. You'll recognize when you've perfected the rigging and presentation, it's deadly.

The spoon can be cast and retrieved, trolled or use it to vertical jig in deep water. However you use it, take the time to learn the nuances of this spoon. You'll be pleased with the results.
