Nichols 5" Lake Fork Flutter Spoon, Purple Threadfin, 1-1/8oz

The Nichols 5" Lake Fork Flutter Spoon in Purple Threadfin is a proven bass and pike lure built for anglers who've embraced the spooning technique. Weighing 1-1/8 oz, this medium-sized flutter spoon delivers the erratic, fluttering action that triggers reaction strikes from suspended and deep-structure fish. Whether you're working offshore humps, ledges, or deeper grass, the Lake Fork design cuts through the water column with a lifelike wobble that mimics a dying baitfish—exactly what predators are hunting for.

Nichols Lures equipped this spoon with quality components purpose-built for durability and hookup reliability. Owner ST-36 treble hooks with hand-tied flashabou provide both visibility and holding power, while Spro Power Swivels and Worth split rings ensure smooth action and reduce line twist during repeated casts. The 5" size splits the difference between finesse and profile, making it effective in clear water and moderately stained conditions without losing the flutter that makes spooning so deadly.

The Purple Threadfin finish works across a range of light conditions and offers excellent visibility in water with slight color. If you're new to spoon fishing, the Lake Fork's proven reputation speaks for itself—anglers across the country have made spooning a go-to deep-water technique, and this lure is built to match that standard.
