SMITH PURE Wobbling Spoon - 6.5 g - 4.5 cm

Product highlights

The SMITH PURE wobbling spoon is a classic metal lure from Japan. Designed to deliver an ultra-natural action, it is a benchmark for trout fishing in rivers, as well as for lakes and larger waterways. Its curved profile generates a regular and highly attractive wobbling action that triggers strikes from the wariest fish, even in heavily fished waters.

Created by the Japanese brand SMITH, this spoon benefits from meticulous finishing and precise balance. On the retrieve the lure immediately comes alive, flutters on pauses and remains perfectly stable in strong currents. Whether you practice itinerant stream fishing, target trout in fast runs or hunt perch and chub in calmer areas, the PURE range provides a reliable and effective answer.

Versatile, this trout spoon covers many situations: light fishing at current heads, slow prospecting of deep holes, slow planar animation above weedbeds or exploring shorelines in reservoir lakes. Easy to handle, it suits beginners who want early success as well as specialists seeking a technical, consistent Japanese metal lure.

Benefits and key strengths

The primary advantage of the SMITH PURE lies in its extreme versatility. Its profile allows it to fish effectively in small, fast streams as well as large rivers and the deep zones of lakes. By simply varying the casting angle, retrieval speed and pause length, you can cover all water layers with the same lure—making it an ideal companion for mobile anglers.

Its consistent and expressive action provokes many reflex strikes. Even when fish are sluggish, a slow retrieve with short pauses is often enough to trigger a perched trout or hesitant perch. The spoon then glides slightly in the column, imitating a distressed baitfish or injured prey—an irresistible cue for predators.

Another strong point is the robustness of the SMITH PURE lure. The dense metal construction and shock-resistant finishes withstand repeated casts in snaggy areas, contact with stones or rocks, and repeated fights with hard-fighting fish. It is a durable investment for anglers who frequently hit the water.

Finally, its proven effectiveness makes it a safe choice for building a minimalist yet efficient tackle box. A few models from the PURE range are enough to cover the majority of situations encountered throughout the trout and small predator fishing season, whether you fish in first or second category waters.

Usage tips

To get the most from your Japanese wobbling spoon, first match the model to conditions: more compact sizes for small streams and low flows, heavier models for large rivers, strong currents or deep lakes. In all cases favor a discreet fluorocarbon leader to improve presentation and your hookup rate.

In rivers, cast slightly upstream and let the SMITH PURE spoon fall into the current before starting a steady retrieve with the rod tip low. You can add short pulls on the retrieve to break the rhythm and provoke sharp course changes that trigger following fish. In deeper spots, let it sink for a few moments, close the reel's bail, then work it with a slow retrieve punctuated by pauses to exploit the lure's flutter on the fall.

On lakes, search for breaks, weed margins and inflows. A fan-style retrieval varying depth helps quickly locate the layer holding fish. Don’t hesitate to shorten or lengthen pauses depending on activity: when strikes consistently occur on the restart, the flutter on the fall is likely the trigger.

Finally, check your rigging regularly. Replace or sharpen the hook according to your fishing style, catch-and-release goals and local regulations for the fished area.
