Quick take
A thin-blade trolling spoon with hyperactive flipper tail, ideal for trout trolling at all speeds.
The Luhr Jensen Needlefish is a thin-blade trolling spoon in the Rainbow Trout color, weighing 1 oz. Its metal flipper tail adds a small flicker of flash as it moves through the water, and it can be fished plain or tipped with a bit of worm or corn. It suits anglers who troll for trout and panfish at a range of speeds.
Best for
- Trolling for trout in lakes at varying depths
- Open-water trout fishing where spoon flash attracts from distance
- Pairing with live worm or shoepeg corn for scent
Skip if
- You fish rivers where faster current requires different lures
- You prefer compact lures for shallow water cover
Strengths
- Thin-blade design is highly responsive to trolling speeds
- Metal flipper tail adds erratic flash and motion
- Hyperactive even at slow trolling speeds for cold-water trout
Trade-offs
