The SunsetStrike Trout Spoon Lure is purpose-built for trout and perch fishing in New Zealand’s clear lakes and rivers. Its compact 3.4 cm size and 4.8 g weight deliver a fluttering action that appeals to cautious or pressured fish. With a bold orange-to-green gradient, dark perch stripes, and a realistic eye, it mimics young perch and baitfish—key forage species for NZ trout.
This lure performs best during sunrise, sunset, or midday when light triggers strong contrasts underwater. Cast it near weed edges, submerged structure, or lake drop-offs. Its compact size makes it ideal for ultralight setups, and the single barbed hook ensures effective hook-ups while complying with local regulations.
Unlike generic spoons, this spoon lure has been tuned for Kiwi conditions. It shines in clear lake systems like Lake Taupō and Lake Wānaka and thrives in tailraces like the Ohau Canal. Retrieve at a steady pace with short pauses to enhance the fluttering action. This technique triggers reaction strikes from both trout and perch.
| Habitat Type | Effectiveness | Target Species | Best Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear Lake Drop-offs | Excellent | Trout | Sunrise & Sunset |
| Tailraces (e.g., Ohau Canal) | Great | Rainbow Trout | Midday under full sun |
| Weedy Lake Edges | Good | Perch | Morning & Late Afternoon |
| Shallow Bays | Moderate | Brown Trout | Cloudy or Overcast Days |
The SunsetStrike Trout Spoon Lure delivers a proven trout-catching action, dressed in eye-catching colours and stripes that mimic real prey. Its weight and shape suit finesse fishing in both still and slow-flowing waters. Whether you're fishing Lake Wānaka at dawn or the Ohau Canal at midday, this spoon consistently grabs fish attention. Designed for New Zealand anglers, it’s a must-have for those who target trout and perch with precision.
