Suckerme Red Sparky Spoon Lure – Flutter Lure with Barbed & Feathered Treble Hook for Trout & Kahawai
The Red Sparky is a high-visibility flutter spoon lure that flashes and tumbles through the water column to mimic distressed baitfish. With a bold red finish and reflective body, it’s ideal for drawing reaction strikes from aggressive trout and estuary kahawai.
Choose the Right Weight for Your Conditions
- 7g: Great for stream mouths, shallow lakes, and backwater pools with trout.
- 15g: Better suited for windy lake edges, estuaries, or casting distance at river mouths.
Each Red Sparky lure includes a size 2# barbed single hook fitted by default. For more aggressive retrievals or kahawai fishing, a feathered treble hook is also included. Note: Treble hooks are often prohibited in many NZ trout waters.
Check regional fishing regulations via Fish & Game NZ before use.
