Target trout with confidence using the Suckerme DarkStrike – one of the most effective barbless fishing spinners for trout in low-light and stained water conditions. Designed specifically for New Zealand rivers and shaded lakes, this spinner lure delivers bold contrast and smooth retrieval, even when visibility is poor.

Its dark-toned blade, paired with green high-contrast spots and a vivid red bullseye, triggers strikes from cautious fish in cloudy or post-rain conditions. Whether you're fishing weedy lake edges, shaded streams, or backcountry rivers, the Suckerme DarkStrike is a smart choice for ethical anglers using a barbless trout lure.

Why This Barbless Trout Lure Stands Out

The Suckerme DarkStrike doesn’t rely on flash alone. Instead, it creates a visual cue that draws trout from cover with high-contrast patterns. The red dot provides a distinct target while the green accents interrupt the spinning light pattern, tricking fish into striking. This kind of innovation is why it's one of our top-selling fishing spinner lure options for NZ waters.

How to Use It

Retrieve slowly and consistently through shaded areas. Pause occasionally to let the lure flutter, especially around submerged logs, weed lines, or undercut banks. These pauses mimic struggling prey, encouraging reactive bites.
