Lindy Rattl'n Flyer Spoon

[DTro]

With the water temps dropping rapidly in the past few days, the presentation has turned to a slower and more vertical one. I thought it might be a perfect time to try out the new Rattl'n Flyer Spoon by Lindy.

The Rattl'n Flyer Spoon is a lethal break-through jigging spoon hybrid! This new spooner's delight adds Lindy's traditional Flyer's long-proven gliding design to the popular vertical jigging spoon concept—with six fantastic color choices and an extra-loud attention-grabbing brass rattle.

Non-lead alloy construction gives the Rattl'n Flyer Spoon perfect weight balance. It's light enough to shimmer, dance, dart, or fly; yet heavy enough for the "feel" and downward momentum skilled spooners prefer. No need to use a swivel as this spoon does not spin on the "drop"! This active lure is a free spirit that still obeys rod-tip commands!

All sizes and colors feature Bleeding Bait round-bend red treble hooks, holographic/foil finish with lifelike preyfish scale pattern, and irresistible Techni-Glo eyes!

Best of all, the fish like em!

I picked a few different ones up for Ice fishing. Glad they have the DTro seal of approval, nice eye! Did you tip it with a minnow or a head, or just leave it bare?

[Jesse Drummer]

Is that fish from the river or lake?

[DTro]

I caught that last night on the river and I was using a whole live fathead on the spoon.

We put them to a serious test up on Devils Lake in March of this year while fishing with Jason Mitchell and a large crew from around the region.

In a group of 11 we all easily caught at least one limit of walleye and pike, likely several limits as it was on a roll and we C&R a lot of fish. Heck I did 37 pike by noon on one day and 9 walleye myself, many more that afternoon and the fallowing day.

I kept 2 Jason Mitchell Elite Series rods rigged and ready, one with a Salmo Chubby Darter, and the other a Rattl'n Flyer Spoon. If they snubbed one, the other got them to go.

I'll be keeping a few handy this season you can count on that.

I pack both the glow red and the gold whenever I make my journey to Lake of the Woods. It is one of the pure must haves for me up there. Great action, and great sound, equal great fish!

[andrew chadwick]

Its My favorite jigging lure, hands down. mI recently picked up the new, super small size to try. the second smallest size was the ticket for some monster perch last year.

[Surface Tension]

Nice job with the Rattl'n Flyer Spoon Darren.

I'll be giving them a go this winter for eyes and lake trout.

I can't help notice you have an nice hook just off the bottom on your sounder.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I used these quite a bit last winter.. They really have a nice action.

[Cliff Wagenbach]

They worked great on Vermilion for walleyes and perch!

I caught a mixed limit of brookies and rainbows one day last winter using the 1/8oz. gold Flyer, with no bait at all on it!!

I think we caught that one a few minutes later

You guys don't miss a thing do ya

[Hotspotter]

Looking to give these a serious try this year in clear water. Those flash/glide baits have worked well for me in the past esp. in clear water situations. Add the rattle and you've got about as all-purpose of a bait I can think of!

I think the largest offering is only 1/4 oz...I hoping/wishing that they'll come out with a larger 1/2 - 3/4 oz size.

[CNY Tim]

Ordered the 1/16th and 3/16th oz. kits from BPS they had the best price I could find. Each kit had 6 spoons for $19.99.

Lindy has some very nice looking ice fishing tackle.

[Shack]

Yep, can not go wrong with Lindy during hard or soft water

[Dave Barber]

The Lindy Rattl'n Flyer is an awesome spoon! The 1/16th they came out with this year will be a killer for jumbo perch and the more tentative eyes!

Also, watch for the Original Viking spoons coming out soon by Lindy as well. I got a few in from Lindy and they have a pretty cool action as well. They are mainly billed for open water casting, trolling and vertical jigging, but I am confident that they will find a place in my ice tackle box as well.

[harvey lee]

Welcome to the FM/HSO/IL Dave. Good to know about the new jig. Yes, those Flyer jigs do look awesome and I will be using some as soon as I get on the ice.

I can't wait to try them out for some of those legendary 3 lbers over in the U.P. later this year!

[Dave Barber]

Yep! Don't count them out for smaller pannies either. I used them tipped with 2 waxies last weekend for gills... Caught about a dozen gills in a pretty short time, largest pushing 10 inches. they might seem like a large spoon for panfishing, but put them to the test and you will become a believer. Don't take my word for it... try it yourself.

[Jim Hudson]

The Rattl'n Flyer, hands down, does damage for on ice duty!!

Have fished them since their proto-type stage,and have caught lots o fish on these bad boys..

The new 1/16 ounce, like Dave said, is killer on 'gills and crappies. They love the flash of the holographic color. If times get tough, run a smaller chain dropper of the spoon and tack on one or two euro.

Glad to see Lindy on board here. Great products for both ice and open water presentations.

Is there a better/best way to fish them?

[Dave Barber]

Is there a better/best way to fish them?

Here is what I prefer:

Hard Jig... Pause and wait for the spoon to settle direct center (lure will flutter out to about 3 feet from center of the hole). Lite finesse jigging for about 5 seconds... pause again. If I mark anything, I will pull up slowely to begin the chase by raising the lure up. I will add some finesse jigging a bit while raising as well. I will repeat the hard jig, pause, 5 second finesse jigging, pause, about 3 cycles of this. If nothing is marked, I will move on to the next hole.

[Dave Barber]

I will also add... the above technique is what I start with... You really need to watch your electronics and let the FISH decide what presentation they are looking for. If fish scatter after the pause... you may want to continue the finesse jigging. You have to pay close attention to what is attracting those fish in.

[harvey lee]

This jig will be my first jig to try when I get out on the ice for some eye action. Kind of like a little kid in a candy store with this one as it looks to be an awesome eye cacther.

Thanks for the tips Dave
