<h2>Buying Guide: Metal Lures</h2>

<p>Alongside the humble worm, the <strong>spoon</strong> is probably the best-known fishing lure of all. It is approaching its hundredth anniversary, and alongside it a whole family of metal lures has grown up, which we want to give you an overview of here. One thing is clear: metal still catches fish. For more detail on how, where and when to use each type of metal lure, head to the individual lure categories.</p>

<table><tbody><tr><td>Lure type</td><td>Characteristics</td><td>Example</td></tr><tr><td>Spoon</td><td>The spoon is an oval, slightly concave lure made from thin sheet metal. It casts a good distance and wobbles enticingly on the retrieve.</td><td><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/20180715_141039Ic0oFRiGgjD0X.jpg" alt="Spoon: Angelköder" width="166" height="227"></td></tr><tr><td>Trout spoon</td><td>A slimmer take on the classic that allows exceptional casting distances and breaks away at a higher frequency on the retrieve than the wider spoon. Ideal for sea trout and salmon.</td><td><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/Hansen-Fight-Meerforellenblinker-15-00g-RedBlack.jpg" alt="Spoon / Forellenblinker" width="215" height="44"></td></tr><tr><td>Jig-spinner</td><td>A combination of spinner blade and a heavy body. Jig-spinners became well known as asp lures, but they also work superbly for perch, trout and pike.</td><td><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/SpinMad-Jigmaster-24g-1516.jpg" alt="Spinner" width="200" height="200"></td></tr><tr><td>Spinner</td><td>Built around a wire shaft with a treble hook at the end, around which a spinner blade rotates. A true all-rounder for all predators.</td><td><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/Savage-Gear-Caviar-Spinner-Fluo-PinkrYWjtMAKKdTYp.jpg" alt="Savage Gear Spinnerbait" width="200" height="200"></td></tr><tr><td>Spinnerbait</td><td><p>A weedless take on the spinner. A weighted single hook sits on a v-shaped wire frame, with one or more spinner blades attached at the top. The lure can also be fitted with a soft lure as a trailer.</p></td><td><p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/Savage-Gear-Da-Bush-Spinnerbait-Yellow-Silver-Holo-Flame.jpg" alt="Spinnerbait" width="200" height="200"></p></td></tr><tr><td>Chatterbaits</td><td>At its core, a chatterbait is a skirted jig with a small metal blade attached via an eye. That blade generates substantial pressure and vibration underwater.</td><td><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/Z-Man-ChatterBait-Mini-7-0-g-Blue-BlacksPjf9ybGyg8bh.jpg" alt="Chatterbait" width="250" height="250"></td></tr><tr><td>Spoons</td><td><p>Spoons are a kind of mini spoon that work particularly well on light tackle for trout and perch.</p></td><td><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/Zielfisch-Trout-Bait-Grosi-2-0-9g-59PLoppoJDEAi08.jpg" alt="Spoon Köder" width="200" height="200"></td></tr><tr><td>Vibration baits</td><td>Vibration baits, also known as lipless cranks, have been part of the core line-up of every hard lure manufacturer in the USA for decades.</td><td><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/Berkley-PowerBlade-11g-BluegilljBRyHFZRFcb8o.jpg" alt="Vibrationsköder: Lipless Crank" width="200" height="200"></td></tr></tbody></table>
