Quick take
Classic weedless spoon with a brass blade and 35-degree wobble that casts far and tracks straight through cover.
The Berkley Johnson Silver Minnow in gold is a 3 3/4 inch spoon weighing 1 1/8 ounce. A brass blade rocks back and forth through about 35 degrees, and a metal weed guard covers the hook for fishing through cover. Anglers can cast and retrieve it through the water column, troll it, or work it slowly along the bottom. Its gold plating suits bass and walleye anglers working weedy water.
Best for
- Weedy shallow water where other lures hang up
- Trolling slow for bass and pike

Skip if
- You fish open deep water only
- You target panfish exclusively
Strengths

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.
