July Saltwater Lure of the Month: Deadly Dick Long Cast Spoon

July Saltwater Lure of the Month: Deadly Dick Long Casting Spoon


Deadly Dick lures have been a mainstay in saltwater fisherman's tackle boxes for over 55 years.  The quality of the lures is due to the materials as well as the painstaking care they take in their workmanship that are used in production.  The Deadly Dick lures are made of solid brass, then nickel plated, which gives them that shiny, bright finish.  The nickel swivel, stainless steel split rings and also the hooks being seaguard protected Eagleclaw hooks, make this lure nearly indestructible.  As if that's not enough, the lures are environmentally friendly and will not rust.

I recommend using these lures for long casting and deep jigging while drifting.  They can even work well while trolling.  The long casting spoon are sky rocketing in popularity all along the east coast as fishermen up and down the shoreline are clamoring about the quantity and size of striped bass & blue fish.  Many are complaining that their arms are getting tired from catching so many! The style is also growing in popularity for big lake trout and pike.  Over on the other coast - the big hitters are the rockfish, the halibut, and the Ling Cod.  Let me know what you're catching!

When fishing, make sure you vary the speed of retrieval to create the desired action.  This can be fished effectively at depths of around 180 ft. - 200 ft., but feel free to vary this as well.  The weight of the spoon allows for further distance in your cast.  While you are jigging, give it a little slack, and the lure has a slow flutter action that makes them an easy target for feeding Chinook Salmon.
