The Speed Spoon is purpose-built for power trolling at speeds that leave most spoons spinning out, and the same heavy 2.5 inch, 0.5 oz body that tracks true at speed also casts long and jigs deep. Rainbow trout, brown trout, and landlocked salmon chase it on the troll. California reservoir anglers cast and jig it for spotted and smallmouth bass on points and open-water schools. Guide Cal Kellogg picks up bass on the same Speed Spoon he pulls for trout. Run it solo, jig it over structure, or pair it with a Catch America flasher.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Speed Spoon best for?
Power trolling fast for aggressive predators. The 2 1/2-inch, 1/2-ounce body delivers a hard-kicking action at 2.5 to 3.5 mph that draws trout, king salmon, steelhead, and landlocked salmon. Capt. Monte Smith fast-trolls it for limits of Don Pedro rainbows and kings.
How fast should I troll the Speed Spoon?
Best action comes between 2.5 and 3.5 mph. It is built heavier than a standard spoon, so it holds depth when you burn it. Max Gross runs it around 2.7 mph for Shaver Lake trout later in the morning, after the slow kokanee bite winds down.
How do you dial in depth with the Speed Spoon?
Use lead core, downriggers, or snap weights to fine-tune how deep it runs. Because the half-ounce body is heavy, it stays down at speed while warm-water kings chase it, which is how Monte Smith reaches Don Pedro fish holding 40 to 75 feet.
Does the Speed Spoon need scent?
It fishes great bare, but Monte Smith adds just a small dab of gel scent to the back so it bleeds slowly in warm water. He has run Kokanee Slammer on the back of his spoons to help put king salmon in the boat while fast-trolling.
Can you cast or jig the Speed Spoon?
Yes. The weighted design throws long for bank anglers chasing fast-moving fish, and you can drop it deep and snap-jig it aggressively to mimic a wounded baitfish. Burn it fast for aggressive fish, or add quick pauses on the retrieve to trigger reaction strikes.
What color Speed Spoon should I choose?
The lineup runs nearly 50 finishes, from natural Lifelike Rainbow and Shad to bright Firetiger, UV Glow, and hammered metals. Match baitfish tones in clear water, and step up to high-contrast or glow colors when the water is stained or light is low.
What pairs well with the Speed Spoon?
Team it with the Trigger Spoon 2.25 inch. Both are fast-troll spoons Monte Smith runs together on spoon-only, no-dodger days at Don Pedro, letting you show trout and kings two profiles at speed until they commit.
