MOONSHINE CASTING SPOON FOR GIANT RAINBOW TROUT

 


The moonshine casting spoon in the 5/8 oz size is my "to go" lure for giant rainbows at Lago Strobel.  During the end of the season month of May, the rainbows often get pushed out to deep water making fly casting extremely difficult.  Moonshine lures are painted with super glow paint making them light up a dark room.  My favorite colors are glow bloody nose and orange hunk. 

I replace the treble hook with either a strong 3/0 or 4/0 Siwash  single hook.  I also add a split ring opposite the hook end.  The retrieves are slow as the water temps are frigid during the end of the season.  The Moonshine company got sold to the Acme Tackle Company.

  It appears that the 5 /8 oz casting spoon is no longer in stock due to tariffs on China.
So, check the internet and purchase as many as possible before they are all gone.
