A Versatile Spoon for Fall Trout Fishing
For lures to survive the test of time they ’ ve got to be effective and versatile . By versatile I ’ m talking about a lure that can be used in a variety of different situations for a variety of different species . To illustrate this point let ’ s step out of the fishing world for a moment and consider a roll of duct tape . If you own a home or a boat or work with your hands , you ’ ve got to have a roll or three of duct tape because of its utility and versatility . You can use it to fix a hose , patch your tent , fix your shoe or bandage your finger or the blister on your heel . Dick Nite Spoons are like the “ duct tape

of fishing ”, simply because there are few situations where the lure WON ’ T catch fish … That ’ s why they ’ ve been on the market for over 60 years ! What is a Dick Nite ? It ’ s a thin bladed wobbling spoon that does an exceptional job of imitating baitfish . These spoons come in a range of sizes from super tiny to about 2 7 / 8 inches long . When trolled , they are proven killers on trout , kokanee and landlocked kings . Pretty much anything that gobbles baitfish will hit a trolled Dick Nite . Simply select a spoon that roughly matches the size of the baitfish the fish are eating and you ’ re in business .

And Dick Nite Spoons come in a ton of different colors . Now as you likely already know , I ’ m a match the hatch kind of guy when it comes to color so I like chrome and brass models in many cases , but you ’ ll also catch me running black , orange and dual color Dick Nites . In general , I think the best color is the color you have the most confidence in and with Dick Nite ’ s extensive color selection you ’ ll find the color or colors that you absolutely love ! Of course , trolling is only part of the story with Dick Nites …. You can side drift the super tiny models for trout in much the same
