Information

The swimming action

A trout area spoon built for a stable swimming action and reliable depth-keeping, sitting in Forest's line-up between the fast-swimming MIU and the slow, stable PAL. It's built to the light, small-hook standard area-lake rules require, so it works within typical stocked-fishery tackle restrictions.

When to throw it

Gives anglers another rotation to search out how area-lake trout are responding on the day, whether they want a mid-paced swim or something in between the brand's other spoons. It works well as a change-up bait once trout have seen the same handful of spoons and lures repeatedly through a session.

How to work it

Retrieve at a steady, moderate pace to keep it tracking true and holding depth; slow down or speed up slightly to dial in what the trout want. Keep the rod tip low and let the reel do the work, since area-lake trout often follow before committing on the take.

The setup it likes

5'6 inch-6'0 inch UL area rod, small spinning reel, 2-3 lb nylon or fluorocarbon line. A soft tip protects the fine hooks and light lines area-lake rules require while still cushioning a trout's first run on light tackle.
