Dick Nite Spoons: The Versatility You Need For San Pablo’ s Early Season Trout!
For lures to survive the test of time, they’ ve got to be effective and versatile. By versatile I’ m talking
about a lure that can be used in a variety of different situations for a variety of different species.
To illustrate this point let’ s step out of the fishing world for a moment and consider a roll of duct tape. If you own a home or a boat or work with your hands, you’ ve got to have a roll or three of duct tape because of its utility and versatility. You can use it to fix a hose, patch your tent, fix your shoe or bandage your finger or the blister on your heel.
Dick Nite Spoons are like the“ duct tape of fishing”, simply because there are few situations where the lure WON’ T catch fish … That’ s why they’ ve been on the market for over 60 years!
What is a Dick Nite? It’ s a thin bladed wobbling spoon that does an exceptional job of imitating baitfish. These spoons come in a range of sizes from super tiny to about 2 7 / 8 inches long.
When trolled, they are proven killers on trout! Dick Nite Spoons come in a ton of different colors. Now as you likely already know, I’ m a match the hatch kind of guy when it comes to color so I like chrome and brass models in many cases, but you’ ll also catch me running black, orange and dual color Dick Nites.
In general, I think the best color is the color you have the most confidence in and with Dick Nite’ s extensive color selection you’ ll find the color or colors that you absolutely love!
At San Pablo Reservoir during the NTAC tournament, the water is apt to be cold and the trout may be skittish. For this calls for a small, low impact, non-threatening lure … A small Dick Nite is just what the doctor ordered for this kind of work.
If you aren’ t fishing from a boat, you can team them with a water bobber and make long casts from the bank for a super stealthy near surface presentation!
