About this piece
A bottom-specialist spoon developed by Shinichi Takizawa and produced by Masato Suzuki. Designed for competitive area trout tournaments where bottom control makes the difference between success and failure.
Key features
- Reverse-bent nose keeps the spoon head-up to reduce snagging on the bottom.
- Compact heavy body design suppresses lift, maintaining consistent bottom contact.
- V-shaped cupping creates a subtle fall action that avoids spooking pressured trout.
- Bicolor finish with gray back, fluorescent yellow belly, and gold flakes for high visibility.
- Weight optimized at 1.7 grams with a #10 hook for precise bottom presentations.
Best for
- Area trout tournaments and high-pressure stocked ponds.
- Deep bottom structure fishing where snag avoidance is critical.
- Slow, horizontal fall presentations to trigger reluctant fish.
