In development. Pad Bug is coming first.

THE FISHING PROBLEM.

Fishing around grass, wood, and sparse cover calls for a compact presentation that can offer flash and movement while managing hook exposure.

THE DESIGN DIRECTION.

Spoondini explores a shallow concave spoon body, an upturned tail, and a fixed point-up single hook. The drawing includes a strip-trailer keeper and an optional light bristle weed guard.

ON THE BENCH.

Spoondini is in prototype development. Body curvature, balance, hook shielding, trailer behavior, and material choices need physical testing before production details are confirmed.
