Daiwa Report
Advancements in fishing spoons pretty much ended during the Reagan administration. Right?
Not so fast… For decades, DAIWA has been refining and improving these timeless tools. And now, the new PRESSO RAVE2further advances what it means to be a spoon.
“The Rave2 features a distinctive teardrop shape and deep curvature,” said Daiwa Field Marketing Manager, Chris Martin. “The combination creates a wide kick and subtle rolling action, even on a slow retrieve.”
Think about those old-school spoons and how they y twist and flip with no particular purpose or emulation of any living creature. It’s because most aren’t balanced or shaped to do anything other than tumble around. Conversely, Daiwa’s Presso Rave2 is engineered to stably swim with an alluring action.
The impressive spoon retrieves with its arced, convex side skyward and cupped, concave side always facing down. This gives the Rave`2 a steady side-to-side swim, kicking just enough under-belly to reveal its two-tones to fascinated fish.
This consistent action occurs whether tracking just beneath the surface or deeper in the water column.
“Let the spoon sink to your chosen depth and know that it’ll swim exactly the same as when it’s running high,” said Martin.
The PRESSO RAVE2 comes in three weights: 2.2g/29.25mm (1.15-inches), 2.8g/29.25mm (1.15-inches), and 3.5g/34.66mm (1.36-inches). This lets you customize for depth ranges without altering the size of the spoon.
DAIWA also affixed a single, slender, and especially sharp hook with a micro-barb. “The purpose of the specialized barb is for quick releases without damaging the fish,” said Martin.
Martin says the PRESSO RAVE2is purposed for trout, but also efficient on panfish. “Fishing for stocked trout in lakes and ponds is growing in popularity, and precision casting spoons offer a great alternative to soaking marshmallows or other stagnant baits. Plus, larger trout are more apt to hit a lure. It’s also a fun and interactive way to cast for crappies and aggressive bream.”
The puny powerhouse spoon performs well in trout infested rivers and streams as well, offering a prime option to inline spinners.
