Nichols 5" Flutter Spoon 1 1/8oz Gizzard

The Nichols 5" Flutter Spoon in 1 1/8oz is a hard-bait workhorse built for bass and pike anglers who've embraced the vertical spooning technique. At five inches, this spoon delivers the flutter action that triggers aggressive strikes in deep water and around structure—whether you're working main-lake drop-offs, creek channels, or suspended fish. The Gizzard finish gives you a natural, reflective profile that mimics baitfish in varying light conditions, making it effective throughout the day and across different water clarity levels.

What sets this spoon apart is the attention to rigging details that matter when you're dropping it vertically or casting and retrieving. Quality Owner ST-36 trebles provide reliable hook-up strength and bite-through durability, while hand-tied flashabou adds flash and bulk that attracts fish from distance. Spro Power Swivels keep the spoon working true and prevent line twist during the fall, and Worth split rings offer secure lure attachment without adding bulk or play.

The 1 1/8oz weight sits in the sweet spot for most spooning situations—heavy enough to get down fast and maintain contact with bottom structure, light enough to flutter naturally on the drop. Whether you're a seasoned vertical jigging tournament angler or exploring the spooning technique for the first time, this spoon rounds out a solid deep-water arsenal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flutter spoon and how do you fish it?

A flutter spoon is a vertical jigging lure that works on the fall—cast it out, let it drop on a controlled slack line, and the blade flutters and spins as it sinks. The Nichols 5" Flutter Spoon is designed for this vertical presentation, especially over structure and deep water where bass and pike suspend. The flutter action on the drop triggers bites.

Is the Nichols 5" Flutter Spoon good for saltwater, or just freshwater?

Based on the product specifications provided, this spoon is designed and built for freshwater bass and pike fishing. If you're considering it for saltwater use, check compatibility with your target species first.

What's included with the spoon—are the trebles and swivels pre-rigged?

The Nichols 5" Flutter Spoon comes rigged with Owner ST-36 treble hooks, hand-tied flashabou, Spro Power Swivels, and Worth split rings already attached and ready to tie on.
