Suckerme Rainbow Flashback Trout Spoon Lure – Shimmering Action That Attracts Trout & Perch
The Rainbow Flashback Spoon Lure by Suckerme is crafted for light tackle fishing across New Zealand’s lakes, rivers, and stream mouths. Its 3.3 cm metal body weighs 5 grams and features a holographic finish flashing green, blue, and purple hues to imitate distressed baitfish. The shimmering action works wonders on wary trout and perch, triggering reflex strikes in both still and moving water.
Rainbow Flashback Key Features and Benefits
- ✅ Flashes blue, green, and purple to mimic distressed baitfish.
- ✅ Compact 3.3 cm design with excellent casting distance and fluttering sink.
- ✅ Works in both fast-flowing rivers and still lakes.
- ✅ Single barbed hook improves hooksets and reduces snagging.
