Monkey Lures Monkey Spoon 'El Patron' 2.5 g

Monkey Lures Goes Trout Area

After a successful prototype series and plenty of demand, the Monkey Spoon from Monkey Lures is here. Available in 3 different shapes and various weights, these spoons cover a wide range of applications and are your new secret weapon at the trout lake. A high-frequency action combined with distinctive colour schemes full of attention to detail make them a genuine must for any trout area enthusiast. The high-quality finish of the well-known and popular Monkey Lures colour schemes is protected against damage - for example during transport - by a double layer of clear lacquer. Each Monkey Spoon is painted differently on the front and back, producing a striking 'on-off effect' in the water. This strong colour contrast creates visual stimuli, attracting salmonids not only through pressure waves but also visually. Every Monkey Spoon also has the weight stamped into the back, so there's no more rummaging through your box and you can spend every minute fishing.

"El Patron" - the Boss Gets It Done

The "El Patron" is the heaviest of the Monkey Spoons, weighing in at 2.5 g. Its teardrop shape makes it extremely versatile and a genuine secret weapon. This spoon works from the very slowest retrieve speeds and generates strong pressure waves through its action. Across all 3 Monkey Spoon variants, a thin material was chosen to amplify this high-frequency action even further, keeping the trout's attention firmly on your lure. You can retrieve the "El Patron" on a straight, slow-to-medium wind, or let it flutter down enticingly on brief pauses in the retrieve. Even light jigging and twitching is well within this spoon's range.

A Hook Like No Other

The hook was developed specifically by Monkey Lures, tailored to the conditions at the trout lake, and offers several advantages. The high-quality material of these extremely sharp hooks guarantees long service life. To reduce missed takes, the team at Monkey Lures opted for a new hook shape that improves on the standard spoon hook in several ways. A shortened hook shank and a point that sits parallel to the shaft ensure that even the lightest of touches stick. In addition, the hook point is angled 7° to the right, which increases the hook-up rate when a fish takes the spoon sideways. To avoid spooking the often-wary salmonids, hook and split ring are finished in matt black, minimising light reflections so the fish's attention stays on the lure's colours.

How to Fish It

Retrieve the "El Patron" on a straight wind at slow to medium speed, or work in short pauses to let the spoon flutter down in a tempting action. Light jigging and twitching also work well with this spoon.
