What's good
- The narrow profile keeps a tight action at 2.8 to 3.2 mph, where steelhead live
- Excellent on high divers and off boards for surface-oriented coho and steelhead
- Long history in the fishery; the color numbers are a shared language among Michigan captains
- Holds its action better than a wide spoon when speed changes in a turn
What isn't
- Too little action below about 2.2 mph — it is a fast-troll spoon and dead in a slow king program
- Small hooks come dull and need sharpening or replacing out of the package
- Paint chips at the split ring hole where the ring rubs, and the chipping spreads
We list the drawbacks because a recommendation with no downside is a sales pitch. If a cheaper item does the job on your water, the write-up says so.
