Quick take
A 1 oz gold casting spoon machined from solid brass that won't break, bend or tarnish even in saltwater.
This chrome metal spoon is built for casting toward striped bass, trout and salmon in fresh or salt water. A fast retrieve gives a tight wiggle like a fleeing baitfish, while a slower pull produces an erratic side-to-side wobble. Anglers vary the fall and retrieve to reach fish feeding near the surface or deeper down.
Best for
- Pan-sized trout and bluegill in streams
- Pike and walleye in lakes with casting distance
- Stripers and large saltwater species
Skip if
- You fish heavy cover where hard lures get stuck
Strengths
- Solid brass construction is durable and maintains its polish
- Aerodynamic design casts far and produces wild flashing action
- Brass won't corrode or lose its finish even with salt spray
Trade-offs
- At 1 oz weight it is difficult to cast on light spinning tackle
- Solid construction means the spoon is relatively heavy for its size
- Wild action requires a steady retrieve for proper wiggle

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.
