Quick take
A 1 oz solid brass spoon with a hammered finish that produces erratic flashing action and vibration to attract everything from trout to pike in saltwater and freshwater.
This 1/8 oz Chrome Kastmaster is a compact spoon around 1 3/8 inches long with a treble hook. It casts surprisingly far on light line and flashes with a darting wobble. A good pick for trout, panfish and smallmouth on ultra-light or light spinning gear.
Best for
- Casting for trout in streams and small lakes
- Trolling for salmon and steelhead
- Pan fishing in ponds and salt marshes
Skip if
- You need a slim profile for finesse fishing
- You prefer subtle action over flash and vibration
Strengths
- Solid brass construction won't bend, break or corrode
- Hammered finish reflects light and adds vibration
- Aerodynamic shape casts long distances for a small lure
Trade-offs
- Brass is heavier than aluminum, making the action slower
- Treble hooks snag easily in weeds and timber
- High-gloss hammered finish may spook clear-water fish

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
