About this piece
The Rodio Craft MT Lakes 57 is a purpose-built spoon for targeting lake trout, engineered to extend bite opportunities with its unique spin slide fall action. The rear-weighted design balances long casting distance with a seductive, erratic retrieve that transitions seamlessly from swimming to a fluttering drop. This 57mm, 9g spoon excels in both upper and lower water columns, making it a versatile tool for pressured fish in clear, deep lakes.
