Secret weapon!
Extremely pleased with these spoons! Quality exceeds that of any other lure in my tackle box: amazingly durable and brilliant finish, depth of image, superior hooks. Literally caught a fish on the first cast. Loaned one to a skeptical fishing buddy...he soon became a believer!
Musky Hunt:
Bought a JDR Specialty tackle True Life pattern spoon at Cabelas; and I picked the 2 oz. size in the Cisco pattern. It measures 51/2 inches not counting the treble hook. They're supposed to be good for muskies, northern, walleye, & trout. The spoon has a special "iron hide"to keep the finish from chipping off.... a common problem w/ spoons, and this seems to not happen with their products.
Naturalistic pattern, good castability
I bought these spoons in two sizes and colors. Both are somewhat heavier than indicated. The pattern is very realistic, the action is the familiar one of spoons of this shape.. Both spoons fly quite well even with the large streamer attached.
Worth Every Penny
When I spotted the incredibly authentic natural graphics of the JDR spoons in the store I had to buy a couple. I have since bought several more. The graphics on the JDR spoons are a very real representation of fish, and other food sources that trout feed on. Not some bizarre color combo, that occasionally produces a fluke strike.
I fish the North Platte River in Wyoming, including a stretch known as "The Miracle Mile". A large portion of my fishing occurs on a very rocky bottom, plus surrounded by rocky canyons. Brutal conditions for metal lures. The finish on these spoons is amazing. Trip after trip they appear as if I had just removed the packaging!
The best aspect of JDR spoons is that the trout prefer them as much as I do. I prefer catching browns over rainbows, and the brookie, and cutthroat patterns have answered my prayers! Give 'em a try, you WILL catch more fish, and probably replace your tackle box before the finish on these lures wear out.

The best Lures and Finish ever
These lures are awesome. They mean what they say, you will lose the lure before you lose the finish. You will not be disappointed. Slayed the Rainbow Trout and Walleye on the river with a 1/2 oz Rainbow Trout Spoon. These fish are aggressive and explode on these spoons. You will not be disappointed with the action it is unlike all other spoons. Highly recommend these products to anyone after any Fresh Water Predator.
Once in a lifetime!
Out of all of the experiences in my life, I can now put catching a fish at one of the top most exciting moments. I always enjoyed fishing, but until this catch I thought these kinds of fish were only seen on television or told in stories. I used a JDR Specialty Tackle lure for the first time and was instantly sold. We were casting right off of shore. Within three casts I caught a decent size rainbow trout. Then not much after this walleye with the same lure. This made a begginer fisherman feel like a pro. This will be an experience I will never forget. Thank you.
Excellent Finish, Excellent Product
I have used a couple different True Life Forage Spoons and they are some of the best out there. Great for trolling for walleye or rainbows. Love the patterns- so do the fish. :)
Best Purchase and Products Ever
The JDR Forage Minnow Spoons are awesome, its so cool when I can cast a 1/4oz Forage Minnow Brown Trout in the River and as soon as it hits the water I slam into a Brown Trout, and next cast a Rainbow Trout. These fish kill these spoons and the finish is indestructible. You cannot go wrong with these spoons, I have slayed the Northerns, Walleye, and Trout on these Spoons. You will not be disappointed with these Spoons. These are the best Products ever.
