Suckerme Greenback S Curve Spoon Lure
The Greenback S Curve from Suckerme is a curved spoon lure designed to imitate small baitfish with a wide fluttering action. With a reflective green back, gold body, and orange belly, it flashes brightly through clear or stained water, drawing in trout and perch. This lure is available in two weights to suit different conditions.
When to Use the 7g vs 15g Version
- 7g: Best for calm water, light gear, shallow lake edges, and slow-moving rivers.
- 15g: Ideal for deep lakes, fast rivers, windy conditions, and long-distance casting.
Both versions include a size 2# single barbed hook. A feathered treble hook is also provided for targeting estuary species such as kahawai. Please note that treble hooks are not permitted in many NZ trout waters.
Always check local fishing rules at Fish & Game NZ before use.

Greenback S Curve in Action
Subtle Flutter or Deep Flash
The curved body gives this lure a fluttering motion on both retrieve and drop. Use the 7g version for sight-fishing in shallow water, and the 15g to reach deeper targets fast. The reflective surface mimics small prey and the colour pattern creates strong contrast.
Use Suggestions:
- 7g: Light gear fishing in clear water lakes or backcountry streams
- 15g: Deep lakes, river mouths, or windy days where distance is key
Why It Works:
- Colour combo triggers reaction strikes
- Wide flutter mimics injured baitfish
- Interchangeable hook setup adds flexibility
