Acme Thunderbolt Spoon Serves Up Sizzling Action on Trout in Lakes, Streams and Rivers
OutdoorHub 05.08.13
Springtime signals the start of trout season around much of the country, and serious anglers begin to daydream about jarring strikes from large, aggressive rainbows, browns, brookies and cutthroats who’ve been spending all winter just waiting for a good meal.
Savvy fishermen know that one of the best ways to turn that daydream into reality is to tie on a Thunderboltspoon from Acme Tackle Co., a leader in metal fishing lures for more than 60 years. This proven spoon fools trout with a combination of frantic, wounded-baitfish action, flash and life-like color to trigger aggressive strikes from trout. Thunderbolt’s wide body profile not only imparts a slow, wide wobble on the retrieve or troll, it gives the appearance of a fat, full-bodied baitfish — the exact type of meal trophy trout are hunting for after ice out.
Acme offers the Thunderbolt in three sizes (1/10-oz., 1/6-oz. and ¼-oz.) that are ideal for fishing mountain streams, high-country lakes and rivers. Each is offered in a range of premium metallic or baked-on enamel finishes that help anglers catch fish in any type of conditions, including Watermelon, Metallic Perch, Gold with Red, Black and Yellow Spots and Rainbow Trout. Five versions feature reflective prism tape in a distinctive “lightning bolt” pattern: Gold/Silver Prism, Nickel/Silver Prism, Nickel/Blue Prism, Gold/Chartreuse Prism and Florescent Red/Silver Prism. This added underwater flash spurs a trout’s predatory instincts and provides anglers with an added edge in cloudy or stained water.
While Acme’s Thunderbolt has proven its “metal” on trout waters from coast to coast, it’s also a very effective light tackle weapon for bass, crappie and panfish in warm water.
Whichever Thunderbolt spoon you choose and however you fish it, you can depend on Acme’s signature quality. Features like jewel-quality plated or enamel finishes, needle-sharp treble hooks and stainless steel split rings ensure fish-catching performance, season after season.
