Every few years we see the latest “must have” lure for striper fishing; in these last few years the flutter-style spoon has definitely been all of that and more! While working around menhaden schools or dropping down on marks on the screen 15 to 20 feet, the enticing flutter of this spoon – on the drift – has proven irresistible to jumbo striped bass.
While there are several makes and models on the market to choose from, one of the hottest sellers in our Northeast region in ‘23 has been the Tsunami Pro Flutter Spoons, which are precision stamped from 100% stainless steel and boast split rings, swivels and Tsunami Salt X 4/0 Treble hooks which you can expect to last, bass after bass, season after season.
Tsunami Pro Flutter Spoons are polished, and either mirror chrome plated or coated in automotive grade finishes to help draw attention from big fish when they’re feeding on larger baits like herring and menhaden. The G7 Razor Point technology used in sharpening Salt X hooks guarantee a super sharp point for sure penetration on the hook set, and their strength and corrosion resistance are what you’d expect from Salt X hooks. Dual independent rotation, welded ring ball bearing swivels provide plenty of freedom of movement and strength (264 pounds), while the oversized stainless steel split rings come standard for both strength and added articulation.
There are two weight ratings in both the 9-inch and 11-inch Tsunami Pro Flutter Spoons starting at $24.99; the standard 9-inch spoon weighs in at 4-1/2 ounces and the heavy model comes in at 6 ounces, while the 11-inch standard weighs 6-ounces and the heavy taps out at 7-3/4 ounces. Color selection includes Chrome, Chartreuse and Pearl to deal with any water color or clarity.
A simple flick of the wrist will allow the Tsunami Pro Flutter Spoon to drop down and hit the mark; just make sure you’re making contact with the line the entire time and prepare to engage, drive the hook and fight your personal best to the boat.
