Quick take
A proven multi-species spoon that catches trout, bass, salmon, and saltwater fish from fresh mountain lakes to ocean estuaries through casting, trolling, or jigging.
A 1 oz, 3 1/4 inch spoon in a Blue Silver Reflex finish, suited to trout, bass, salmon and striped bass. Its thicker metal body is meant to carry far on a cast, even into wind, and it wobbles steadily across a range of retrieve speeds. It can be cast, trolled or jigged over structure.

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.
