Nyanko Ultralight Cat Spoon – 1.6g Micro Trout Lure

The Lure That Looks Ridiculous — and Actually Works Japanese trout anglers know something most Western fishermen don't: when a heavily pressured fish has seen every spoon in the box, sometimes the answer is a cat. The Nyanko Ultralight Cat Spoon was engineered for pay-to-fish trout areas in Japan where fish are notoriously picky — and it earned its reputation by getting bites when nothing else would. Real-World Performance We put it to the test in Pennsylvania trout waters and the results were the same: fish attacked it. The paper-thin body produces a seductive side-to-side sway in slow and still water that triggers reaction strikes from trout that have ignored everything else. Weight: 1.6g (~1/18 oz) — ideal for ultralight tackle Hook: Barbless single hook for easy catch-and-release Action: Slow, swaying flutter that excels in still and slow-moving water Best for: Trout, panfish, and any pressured fish that's seen it all Available in Orange/White and Tabby colors.
