The Suckerme Rainbow Flashback Spoon Lure is crafted for light tackle fishing across New Zealand’s lakes, rivers, and stream mouths. This 5-gram compact lure features a 3.3 cm metal body with a holographic finish that flashes green, blue, and purple hues to imitate distressed baitfish. Its shimmering action works wonders on wary trout and perch, triggering reflex strikes in both still and moving water.
Designed to match the size and behaviour of smelt or whitebait, this spoon excels when trout are feeding close to the surface or cruising mid-water. Cast it far and fish it deep—thanks to its metal construction, this lure sinks fast and flutters with lifelike movement on the drop. Whether you're fishing during calm mornings or bright afternoons, the dynamic flash and compact profile consistently draw bites from New Zealand’s most prized freshwater predators.
Use this amazing lure when trout are chasing smaller prey. Its stop-and-go retrieve mimics an injured baitfish, while the vivid flash ensures visibility even in clear water. This lure offers precision and versatility, performing well across seasons and in various fishing conditions.
| Habitat Type | Effectiveness | Target Species | Best Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear Lakeshores | Excellent | Trout | Midday to Afternoon (Sunny) |
| Open River Flats | Great | Perch | Late Morning to Midday |
| Sandy Lake Bottoms | Good | Trout | Bright Days with Clear Skies |
| Edge of Weed Beds | Moderate | Perch | Early Afternoon (Clear Weather) |
Try this spoon during early morning or late afternoon when fish are actively feeding. Retrieve it slowly with occasional pauses to imitate a struggling baitfish. Let it flutter naturally as it sinks near drop-offs or rock edges. It’s especially effective in estuaries where trout and kahawai chase small prey pushed in by the tide.
Many lures fail to balance size and visibility. The Suckerme SMSRAINFB-5 stands out due to its subtle size and bold flash. Its colours adapt to the light, catching attention in low or bright conditions. Built for New Zealand anglers, it offers a smart choice for those targeting trout or perch with finesse gear.
Whether you’re exploring South Island rivers or fishing quiet North Island lakes, keep this spoon in your kit. Its consistent performance, easy casting, and realistic shimmer make it a favourite for anglers chasing freshwater sportfish year-round.
The Suckerme Rainbow Flashback Spoon is a reliable, lightweight, and versatile option for trout hunters seeking action in small packages.
