Gold Trout Spoon 5g Suckerme Flashback Lure for Low-Light Trout
Brilliant Gold Flash for Sight-Feeding Fish
The gold trout spoon is a must-have for fishing in New Zealand's bright, clear freshwater. The Suckerme Golden Flashback Spoon Lure combines visual flash and compact size, making it ideal for trout and perch that hunt by sight. Weighing just 5 grams and measuring 3.3 cm long, it’s perfect for clearwater lakes, shallow stream mouths, and sunlit river margins.
Crafted with a hammered gold surface, the lure reflects light from multiple angles to simulate the flash of fleeing baitfish like smelt or juvenile minnows. Cast near submerged structure, drop-offs, or into current seams. Then retrieve with a steady or twitch-pause action to draw strikes. It performs exceptionally in sunny, calm conditions when fish rely heavily on vision.
Built for Clear Lakes and Fast Rivers
Despite its small size, the gold trout spoon casts long and sinks quickly for precise depth control. A single 2.1 cm barbed hook gives reliable hook-ups and reduces snags—ideal for weedy or rocky terrain. From alpine lakes to estuaries and urban waterways, this lure offers dependable performance wherever trout and perch are feeding in the sun.

Fishing Tips for the Golden Flashback Spoon Lure
Cast the lure along sunlit shallows or beside submerged rocks and let it sink briefly. Begin a slow retrieve or add small twitches to imitate an injured baitfish. In fast water, let the current do the work—hold the rod steady and allow the fluttering motion to provoke a reaction strike.
