Nichols 4" Lake Fork Flutter Spoon, Purple Threadfin, 3/4oz

The Nichols 4" Lake Fork Flutter Spoon in Purple Threadfin is a serious tool for bass anglers who've caught onto the spooning game. At 3/4 ounce, this lure delivers the erratic, fluttering fall that triggers strikes from bass suspending in deeper water or relating to structure. The Lake Fork Flutter Spoon line has earned its reputation by combining a proven design with quality components—Owner ST-36 trebles dressed with hand-tied flashabou, Spro Power Swivels for reliable connections, and Worth split rings that hold up to repeated casts and fights.

Spooning has become a go-to technique for anglers targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass, especially when they're holding at depth or in clear water where a vertical presentation outproduces traditional throwing. The purple threadfin finish works across a range of water conditions and mimics natural forage patterns that bass recognize. The flutter action comes from the spoon's profile and weight distribution—not from jerking or twitching, though that's an option if you want to add more aggression.

Whether you're fishing lakes with pronounced drops, reservoirs with suspended bass, or anywhere the bite has moved vertical, this 4" spoon fits the bill. It's equally at home in a drop-shot rig or pitched straight down to productive depth. The hardware—quality trebles, swivels, and split rings—won't let you down when a solid fish makes a run.
