(PRICE w/o GST) - SUPER SPOON SET / FLAT 56gram AND CURVE 60gram

The Super Spoon Set (available in 56g Flat and 60g Curve variants) represents a staple in the modern angler's tackle box, bridging the gap between traditional metal lure designs and contemporary high-performance fishing. Marketed by Fishing Buddy Singapore, these spoons are engineered with a primary focus on versatility, durability, and a universal "flash" appeal that has been a proven fish-catcher for decades.

The Philosophy of the "Chrome" Finish

The most striking feature of the Super Spoon series is its high-polish chrome finish. In the world of piscatorial biology, most pelagic and predatory fish—such as Mackerel (Tenggiri), Trevally, and Queenfish—rely heavily on sight. They are programmed to look for the "silver flash" of baitfish like sardines, herrings, or anchovies. The Super Spoon utilizes a premium chrome plating that maximizes light refraction even in murky water or at significant depths. This intense reflection mimics the panicked scales of a wounded baitfish, triggering an instinctive predatory strike.

Design and Variation

The product is offered in two distinct geometries, each serving a specific technical purpose:

1. The FLAT 56-gram Model:

The Flat variant is designed for maximum distance and stability. With a weight of 56 grams (approximately 2 ounces), it provides the ballast necessary for long-distance casting from shore, jetties, or boats. Its aerodynamic profile cuts through headwinds, allowing anglers to reach distant "boils" where predators are feeding. This model is sold as a 5 pieces-per-set bundle, providing excellent value for money. It comes housed in a Meiho Lure Tackle Case F, a high-quality Japanese-made storage solution that prevents the lures from scratching each other and losing their reflective luster.

2. The CURVE 60-gram Model:

The Curve variant is specifically shaped to create a unique hydro-acoustic signature. The slight bend in the body causes the spoon to "flutter" erratically during the fall and "wobble" during a steady retrieve. This movement is less about speed and more about vibration and erratic light play. Unlike the Flat version, this set includes Gamakatsu Single Assist Hooks, which are world-renowned for their sharpness and strength. These assist hooks are vital for species like the Mackerel, which often strike at the head or mid-section of the lure. This set contains 4 pieces and is stored in a Meiho Fly Tackle Case F.

Technical Application: Casting and Jigging

One of the reasons the Super Spoon is considered a "must-have" is its dual-purpose application:

• Surface Casting: When fish are seen breaking the surface, a fast retrieve with the rod tip held high makes the spoon skip and splash, imitating a fleeing garfish or flying fish.

• Vertical Jigging: In deeper terrains, the spoon can be dropped to the seabed and "jigged" upward in short, sharp bursts. The 56g and 60g weights are heavy enough to reach the bottom quickly but light enough to be worked manually without causing excessive angler fatigue.

Durability and Maintenance

Constructed from high-density metal alloys, these spoons are built to withstand the "crushing" force of predatory jaws. While many lures feature painted finishes that chip after a single strike, the chrome plating on the Super Spoon is integrated to ensure longevity. However, because these are primarily used in saltwater environments, it is recommended that anglers rinse them in fresh water after use to prevent any oxidation of the split rings or hook points.

Economic Value

At $15.30 SGD (excluding GST) for a multi-piece set, the Super Spoon provides a "super affordable" entry point into high-success fishing. High-end Japanese lures often cost upward of $20 for a single unit; Fishing Buddy’s set offers up to five lures and a premium Meiho case for less than that price. This makes it an ideal choice for "high-risk" areas—such as rocky outcrops or snag-heavy reefs—where the loss of a lure is a common occurrence.

In summary, whether you are a weekend hobbyist targeting local species or a serious offshore angler hunting for a trophy Mackerel, the Super Spoon Set offers a combination of traditional flash, modern geometry, and unbeatable value. It is a tool designed to do one thing exceptionally well: turn a quiet day on the water into a productive one.
