Metal Spinning Lures & Spoons

Metal spinning lures and spoons are proven fish catchers for both Australian saltwater and freshwater anglers. Designed for long casting distance and versatile retrieves, these compact lures imitate baitfish, fleeing prey and injured fish, making them highly effective on species including Australian salmon, tailor, bonito, tuna, kingfish, trevally, mackerel, bass and trout.

Whether you're casting from the beach, rocks, boat or freshwater stream, metal lures offer exceptional casting performance in windy conditions and can be retrieved at a wide range of speeds. From slim profile metals for pelagic species to classic spoons for trout and bass, there is an option for virtually every fishing situation.

How To Choose

Choose lighter metals and spoons for trout, bass and estuary species, while heavier models are ideal for surf fishing, offshore casting and targeting fast-moving pelagics. Slim-profile metals suit high-speed retrieves, while wider spoons produce more wobble and flash for slower presentations.

Consider lure weight based on casting distance, water depth and current strength. Matching lure size to local baitfish can significantly improve results.
