Quick take
Metal spoon lure with precision-engineered shape and ball chain trailer that produces vibration and action at varying retrieve speeds.
The Steely spoon is a half-ounce metal lure with a prismatic brass face and a ball chain trailer that adds vibration and side-to-side movement as it moves through the water. It can be cast and retrieved slowly or worked as a jig, and anglers after trout, walleye, bass, crappie or pike can fish it in lakes, rivers and streams.
Best for
- Casting in clear to lightly stained water
- Trolling ledges and drop-offs
- Vertical jigging in deep water
Skip if
- You fish muddy water where vibration-only lures work better
- You work dense wood and weed where spoons snag
Strengths
- Convex-concave blade produces strong sonic vibrations
- Ball chain trailer adds movement and flash
- Handles slow, medium and fast speeds equally well
Trade-offs
- Metal spoon is heavier and may feel different from soft-plastic lures
- Ball chain design increases snagging potential in vegetation
- Electroplated finish requires freshwater rinsing after each trip

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.
