Overview
Built for offshore schooling situations, this flutter spoon is aimed at anglers who want a larger profile and a more aggressive presentation around bass feeding on the move. Its exaggerated cupping is designed to create a cradling action on the fall, while the heavier thump on the rip-up and descent adds vibration to the mix. The 6.5-inch gizzard shad profile, nickel-plated brass construction, and flashabou-tied 3/0 Decoy hook give it a purposeful look for vertical work when fish are keyed in on flash and movement. It can be fished year-round, but it is especially suited to hot summer conditions when a slower, erratic presentation may be needed to draw a strike.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 6.5 in. spoon profile and 10 in. total length make this a larger presentation, so it is best suited to situations where a big bait is appropriate.
- Its design is centered on offshore schooling and vertical stroke-and-fall use, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose spoon.
- The slower fall and exaggerated cupping are intended to create a pronounced action, which may require a more deliberate retrieve and presentation.
- Pack quantity is 1, so anglers wanting multiple color or size options will need to purchase additional units.
