Top 6 Metal Spoons in Canada for 2025 — Best Fluttering Lures for Trout to Tuna

The Williams Wabler W50 is prized for its lifelike, wobbling dart that makes it a top choice for casting hard body spoon lures; its engineered balance and profile deliver long, accurate casts and a consistent action at varied retrieve speeds. Compared with classic stamped spoons like the Dardevle or the Len Thompson, the Wabler often converts more strikes per cast and justifies a slightly higher price with superior hookup rates and reduced wind resistance on long casts.

The Gibbs Delta Tackle Minnow is a hard-body spoon engineered for a realistic minnow profile and a fast, erratic fall that triggers aggressive strikes on jigging presentations. It earns a best-in-class spot for its heavy-duty construction, balanced weight distribution and proven saltwater durability, giving anglers a lower long-term replacement cost compared with softer or thinner spoons on the list. Compared with the more classic fluttering action of the Williams Whitefish and the boutique finishes of Moonshine, the Delta Minnow emphasizes lifelike motion and rugged value for serious vertical fishermen.

The Rapala Jigging Rap W5 stands out as a market-leading precision spoon with a refined, erratic flutter that reliably triggers strikes from suspended walleye and trout; its premium balance, factory finishes and durable hardware justify its higher price point. Technically it offers a wider, more aggressive jigging action than narrow-profile spoons like the Williams and Swedish Pimple, making it ideal when you need flash and movement at depth. Released and available now, it appeals to anglers willing to pay a little more for engineered action and finish quality over economy models.

The Luhr-Jensen Krocodile 3/4 oz is a best-in-class choice when you need a heavier, corrosion-resistant hard-body spoon that holds its action at higher troll speeds and in rough conditions. Its heft and durable hardware give it a long-term value edge—especially versus lighter spoons like the Mepps Syclops—making it ideal for anglers seeking a workhorse lure that performs in both freshwater and light saltwater trolling.

The Luhr-Jensen Krocodile is a saltwater-ready classic known for its wide wobble, heavy profile and robust plated finishes that resist corrosion and maintain action in abrasive marine conditions. It holds its best-in-class position by balancing proven fish-attracting motion with economical hardware that anglers can easily upgrade, offering a lower-cost entry into durable saltwater spoons compared with premium specialty models. Versus the other spoons on this list it delivers more aggressive lateral flash and weight for casting into current, while remaining competitively priced for regular replacement of hooks and split rings.
