Nichols 5" Flutter Spoon 1 1/8oz Super Shad

The Nichols 5" Flutter Spoon in 1 1/8oz Super Shad is a proven vertical jigging lure built for bass and pike anglers who want a bait that mimics the panicked flutter of a wounded baitfish. This 5-inch flutter spoon cuts through the water column with a tight, erratic action that triggers aggressive strikes in shallow and deep water alike. Whether you're working submerged vegetation, drop-offs, or open water, the Super Shad finish delivers the realistic coloration that pressured fish see through.

Flutter spoons have become a go-to technique for serious anglers, and Nichols engineered this version to handle repeated casting and vertical work without losing its signature flutter. The lure comes rigged with quality Owner ST-36 treble hooks dressed in hand-tied flashabou, so you're ready to fish straight out of the pack. Spro Power Swivels and Worth split rings keep everything secure and reduce line twist during the fall and retrieve.

At 1 1/8 ounces, this spoon sinks fast enough to reach deeper structure while remaining responsive to subtle rod movements—ideal for both dock-to-dock shallow presentations and deeper basin fishing. The Super Shad finish is versatile enough for clear and stained water, making it a logical addition to any spoon arsenal.
