The Kastmaster spoon has been around for a long, long time, and if you haven't given one of these unique lures a try, better head for your local sport shop and pony up the bucks for a selection. The Kastmaster comes in sizes from 1/12th ounce to 4 ounces, and can be used in fresh and saltwater. I have only fished these lures in freshwater, but the way they perform, I can see their use for salmon in the salt. They imitate a wounded bait fish incredibly well, and I can see how they would work as well as a Buzz Bomb for salmon. I have had good success with them for trout fishing them the same way one would fish a Buzz Bomb in the salt for salmon. That is, casting it a good distance, then lifting and dropping the rod tip so the lure is allowed to drop and flutter. When the lure drops, it will roll, change direction and dart erratically. This drives fish wild! The lures are made of solid brass, so cast extremely easily and come in wide range of colors and patterns. I have fished the rainbow, frog, and blue with very good results. I haven't fished these in lakes but they really work well in lakes.
