Unlike a deep summertime crankbait - where Olympic distance casts are critical for the lure to reach and stay in the strike zone - a big, heavy spoon can find its way into a limited strike zone with quick precision. But don’t throw one into a brushpile because your chances of snagging it, and not getting it back, run higher than the mercury in a mid-summer thermometer. They also can be fantastic to coax lethargic summer bass suspended deep in underwater treetops. That makes sense, since these big baits have a large treble hook and most anglers believe they're best used in deeper water.īut big spoons have proven quite effective in recent years along the shade lines of deeper floating boat docks. The flutter spoon may be easiest to utilize in open water situations away from the bank. “The perfect time for a flutter spoon is anytime bass are ganged-up offshore and feeding somewhat deep on shad,” says the North Carolina pro, who has earned nearly $1 million in prize money.

But Arey and other anglers know anytime you’re on a southern body of water full of big bass and plenty of shad, few lures fire up a fat school of largemouth like these flashy oversized spoons. The flutter spoon is not nearly as popular as mid-summer’s first string players such as football jigs, deep cranks, and giant plastic worms. And while Arey had done most of his damage with a prototype ¾-ounce Titan Tungsten football jig, one of summer’s best-kept secrets sat ready to play nearby - an oversized, 6-inch 2.5-ounce flutter spoon or what some call a structure spoon. Like, beat you down while you’re covered in sweat kinda hot.
Team Toyota’s Matt Arey had just slapped 21 pounds of Guntersville bass on the scales to take the tournament lead, yet he seemed equally as thrilled when a buddy handed him a giant lemonade from a vendor near the weigh-in stage.
