Tried & True, Dick Nite Spoons
D
ick Nite Spoons have been around
more than 70 years, helping
fishermen, fisherwomen, and fisherkids
enjoy trout and salmon fishing success!
Four salmon world records have been set
using Dick Nite fishing lures, and at least
one State record for Oregon shad has be
set as well. Dick Nite fishing lures have
been used for trout fishing for over 70
years for one reason…they work! Salmon
fishermen have become dependant on
Dick Nite lures for their coho and humpy
catches in the rivers of the Northwest.
Dick Nite spoons are a thin-bladed
spoon that has been producing great
fishing experiences for fishermen for
over 7 decades! Dick Nites are used for
trolling, stream fishing, mooching, dock
fishing, casting or even ice fishing! Dick
Nites are well suited for nearly any fishing
situation. Trout, salmon, steelhead, lakers,
bass, kokanee, coho, walleye, pike -
whatever you are looking for, with over
250 different size/color combinations,
Dick Nite probably makes what you need!
Dick Nites come in three different sizes
ranging from 1.5 inches to 2 7/8 inches.
The spoons come in a wide array of colors
from plain brass and chrome offerings to
bright orange and chartreuse colored lures.
My favorite Dick Nites come from the
“Hot Head” series, which is an odd name
because these lures have bright paint on
their rear ends, but I guess “Hot Head”
looks better on a lure package then “Hot
Butt”. At any rate the “Hot Heads” with
Mack’s Lure Dodgers and
Flashers for Spring Trout!
M
ack’s Lure is most famous for
their tried and true Wedding Ring
Spinners, but their line up of trout gear
goes much deeper. The fact of the matter
is that Mack’s offers up some of the most
advanced dodgers and flashers in the
game!
The Double D Dodger
The Double D not only has the
proven traditional dodger action
that is known to catch fish, but also
delivers its patent-pending stop &
go action to your lure.
Double D does the work for
you…Most savvy anglers
know that if you want
to catch more fish,
making S-curves
and/or speeding
up and slowing
down your lure
with the throttle
will do it. In fact,
they will tell you; the
vast majority of fish are
caught when making
a turn. The patent-
pending design
of the Mack’s
Lure Double
D Dodger
constantly
puts that same
action to work
for you.
Double D doesn’t wait for turns…The
constant speed-up/slow-down action means
never again waiting for the turn to catch
your fish. You will be in fish-catching mode
constantly.
Double D for double duty…A diagram
on the back of the dodger shows a second
important benefit. There are four attach-
ment points that allow you to spread
your lines, as well as move them out
from underneath the boat path like a
side planer does.
Flash Lite Trolls
Flash Lite Trolls are offered in
2, 3 and 4 blade models.
They offer all the
attraction power of
traditional multiple
blade “flashers”
but since they are
made with reflec-
tive tape rather than
metal blades they create
80% less drag. This means
you can use the with light
gear and enjoy the fight of
the fish!

pink or chartreuse rear ends have
produced very well for me and my
overall favorite is the brass/pink.
This is a lure I break out when
the sun is high, the water goes
glassy and the ‘kokes get really
finicky.
For trout I like to start out running
the larger spoons and then downsize if
I have to. When targeting ‘kokes you
want to tip with corn, but a lot of guys
make the mistake of not tipping for trout.
When trout are the target I either like
to tip my Dick Nites with a thin ribbon
of worm or a smashed Pautzke Green
Label red salmon egg. If you don’t smash
the egg it will interfere with the spoons
action. If you smash the egg the skin
won’t stop the lure from working, but it
will still put out plenty of scent.
