The Silver Flashback Spoon Lure is a highly reflective 5g metal lure designed to excel in low light and overcast conditions. With a hammered silver finish and compact 3.3 cm body, it mimics the flash and movement of small baitfish like smelt and juvenile herring. This lure is especially effective when light penetration is low—ideal for dawn, dusk, or cloudy weather fishing in New Zealand’s freshwater spots.
Crafted for precise casting and fast sinking, this spoon fishing lure delivers a fluttering action that trout and perch find irresistible. Its hammered surface enhances light refraction, sending flash signals in every direction, even in murky water. Whether retrieved steadily or allowed to flutter on the drop, this lure triggers strikes by simulating vulnerable prey.
The spoon is fitted with a 2.1 cm single barbed hook that offers clean hooksets and reduces the chance of snags. Its durable metal build ensures long-lasting performance, even when bounced along gravel bottoms or retrieved through rocky pools. Lightweight, yet bold in its reflection, this spoon belongs in any NZ angler’s year-round tackle kit.
| Habitat Type | Effectiveness | Target Species | Best Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shaded River Bends | Excellent | Trout | Early Morning or Overcast |
| Deep Pool Edges | Great | Perch | Dawn and Dusk |
| Muddy Stream Banks | Good | Trout | Cloudy Days |
| Bush-Covered Lake Margins | Moderate | Perch | Low Sunlight Hours |
Cast into darker water columns or alongside shadowy structures. Allow the spoon to flutter naturally on the fall before beginning your retrieve. The flash and wobble simulate a struggling baitfish—especially effective when trout or perch are feeding near the bottom or under cover. A slow roll or twitch-pause method works well in these conditions.
The Silver Flashback Spoon Lure is an ideal option when the light is low or the water is stained. Silver flash remains visible in darker environments, increasing your chances of a strike. The compact body makes it great for tight casting areas, and the fluttering descent makes it effective for fish holding near the bottom.
When fishing in rain-fed rivers or early morning lake margins, this spoon delivers results. It casts far, holds depth, and shines when visibility is poor. Whether you’re after trout in Fiordland or perch in Waikato, this spoon offers reliable performance in tough light conditions.
