About this product

The Junior Trigger Spoon delivers the proven Trigger Spoon action in a smaller, lighter profile for finesse trolling, casting, jigging, and stream presentations. Rainbow trout and landlocked salmon find the tight wobble and intense flash irresistible. The compact size is a deadly cast-and-jig option for spotted and smallmouth bass in clear, pressured water. The pre-rigged Siwash hook sits for maximum hookups. Available in 48 colors.

Overview

Big results in a small package.

When trout and salmon are feeding on smaller baitfish or reluctant to chase high-speed presentations, the Junior Trigger Spoon by Catch America is the answer. At 1 ¼ inches long and 1/8 ounce, this small-spoon delivers a deadly fluttering action at trolling speeds as low as 1.4 MPH, making it perfect for early-season, cold-water conditions, or anytime fish are finicky.

Designed for versatile fishing, the Junior Trigger Spoon isn’t just for trolling. Its compact weight-forward design allows for precision casting in lakes and streams, making it an excellent choice for shore anglers, ultralight setups, and finesse presentations.

Why choose the Junior Trigger Spoon over ordinary small spoons? Premium plating that catches more fish. Unlike mass-produced lures with chrome or painted finishes, Catch America insists on real silver, copper, and 24K gold plating, ensuring:

  • Superior flash in all water conditions
  • Increased durability for long-lasting performance
  • Proven strike attraction—precious metals outperform cheap coatings

Every color and finish in the Junior Trigger Spoon lineup has been hand-selected by Cal Kellogg, Catch America’s senior lure designer. With over 30 years of experience, Cal has crafted a lineup that excels in varying depths, light conditions, and water clarities.

✔ 1 ¼-inch micro-spoon perfect for trout and salmon
✔ Starts working at just 1.4 MPH, effective up to 2.5 MPH
✔ Deadly for trolling, casting, and stream fishing
✔ Genuine silver, copper, and 24K gold plating for unmatched flash
✔ Designed by Cal Kellogg for year-round versatility

Small spoon, massive impact. The Junior Trigger Spoon by Catch America gets it done when other lures can’t.

How to use
  1. Troll Slow & Steady – The Junior Trigger Spoon is most effective at 1.4–2.5 MPH for a natural, fluttering presentation.
  2. Match the Hatch – Use silver for clear water, copper for stained conditions, and gold for low light.
  3. Go Ultralight for Casting – This spoon is deadly on ultralight spinning setups for shore fishing and stream applications.
  4. Fine-Tune Your Depth – Use lead core, snap weights, or a downrigger to adjust for deeper trolling.
  5. Experiment with Retrieves – A stop-and-go retrieve can trigger reaction strikes from following fish.

Questions and answers

What is the Junior Trigger Spoon best for?

The Junior Trigger Spoon is a compact 1.25 inch, 1/8 ounce spoon for trout, kokanee, salmon, bass, and steelhead. Its downsized profile delivers a deadly fluttering action, making it the answer when fish feed on small baitfish or turn finicky in early-season, cold water.

What speed should I troll the Junior Trigger Spoon?

Troll the Junior Trigger Spoon between 1.4 and 2.5 mph for a natural, fluttering presentation. The light, weight-forward body flutters and rolls at those speeds, which is why it shines in cold water and any time fish refuse to chase a faster, larger spoon.

Can I cast the Junior Trigger Spoon?

Yes. The compact weight-forward design casts well on ultralight spinning gear, making it a strong choice for shore fishing and stream applications. Let it sink, then work a stop-and-go retrieve so the spoon flutters on the fall and triggers reaction strikes from following fish.

What color Junior Trigger Spoon should I run?

Match the hatch and the light. Run silver finishes in clear water, copper in stained conditions, and gold in low light. The Junior Trigger Spoon comes in dozens of patterns from Hot Red and Firetiger to Glow and Hammered Chrome, so you can dial in the conditions.

How do I get the Junior Trigger Spoon deeper?

This is a light spoon, so add weight to reach fish. Use lead core line, snap weights, or a downrigger to fine-tune depth while keeping the fluttering action intact. Adjust until you are running the spoon right through the depth where you are marking fish.

What soft plastic pairs with the Junior Trigger Spoon?

When fish want a softer, slower look, switch to Trix Worms and slow troll them behind the boat. Carrying the Junior Trigger Spoon and Trix Worms together lets you jump between a fluttering metal spoon and a lifelike soft plastic without re-rigging your whole spread.

Customer photo review of Junior Trigger Spoon

Finally got to fish Sunday 7/27/25 on Lake Sonoma for the landlocked steelhead, started with the Junior Trigger Spoon/Electric Firetiger and it was game on! Several hookups throughout the morning, it was #1 on the day for all the presentations we tried!

Junior Trigger Spoon

This color represents young of the year smelt. 5 minutes on a downrigger a nice landlock salmon hit it and was caught/released. A plan that actually came together,lol.

Order came quickly and products are high quality.

Junior Trigger Spoon

Going after the illusive native German Brown. No joy yet, ant tips ?

Junior Trigger Spoon

Sorting out tackle tonight getting ready for spring. Ordered three of these in three different patterns to try out in spring and finally took a close look at them tonight. One has a different hook in a different size. The size might be the same size when ordering my number but definitely a different size and color. Two silver , one gray/black. Also noticed that the split rings are different sizes. Will these thing make the spoons run differently and if one is a fish catcher is it because of color or how the lure is running with different terminal tackle. Not going to lose any sleep but not 100% satisfied with these spoons. Everything else on the order was as ordered and terminal hardware doesn’t matter because I’m changing it all to use the products not as intended. Time will tell!
