What does a spoon lure do?
Spoon lures are designed in an oblong shape that is concave on one side. They are made to mimic a fleeing baitfish by catching water to produce a wobble and light reflecting flash.
What are the advantages of spoon lures?
Fishing spoons are popular for their ease of use and variety. As there are five types of spoons (casting, trolling, weedless, jigging, and surface) and they are stamped, moulded, or forged from a variety of materials such as copper, steel, plastic, brass, and wood, anglers can choose from a range of options.
Trolling spoons provide a wide fluttering action and are lighter than traditional spoons, while weedless spoons are perfect when fishing in thick cover or aquatic weeds. Surface spoons work well in thick cover in the summer months as they avoid snagging, and jigging spoons are heavy for deep waters.
What fish do spoon lures catch?
These types of lures are best for catching large fish such as salmon, muskies, trout, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. As they are made to appeal to sight, they are best used in clear or lightly stained water conditions.
How do you fish using a spoon lure?
The way you fish with a spoon lure depends on the subtype of lure you’re using. However, a general recommendation is to use a stiff-tipped fast action rod and avoid soft action rods.
