Luhr Jensen 5.0 Coyote Spoon Rainbow Trout Glow Back – Salmon Lure for Coastal Waters

Meet the Luhr Jensen 5.0 Coyote Spoon Rainbow Trout Glow Back, a coastal favorite that rose to prominence with ocean salmon fisheries along Oregon, Washington, and Western Canada. The spoon’s slender profile creates an energetic, lifelike swim that fish can’t resist, especially when trolled or drifted through mixed currents. The glow back finish adds extra visibility in dawn, dusk, or deeper water, helping the lure stand out in the water column and entice a bite with a hint of color and shimmer you can feel in the strike. This is a lure designed to work as part of a larger offshore or nearshore setup, offering a balance of motion, color, and timing that anglers can tune to their day on the water.

Why this spoon stands out

Its ultra-thin construction translates into a noticeably active swimming action that mimics darting baitfish. The subtle, continuous motion creates a natural target for salmon as you cover water, whether you’re trolling behind a boat or drifting with the current. The Rainbow Trout Glow Back finish is crafted to catch light and flash, helping the lure catch a salmon’s eye even in dim light or deeper zones where visibility matters.

Key benefits at a glance

• Active swimming action due to thin, precise material
• Glow back finish adds visibility and lure appeal
• Proven performance behind dodgers and flashers in varied seas

Size strategy for baitfish and seasonality

• Choose smaller sizes when candlefish or anchovies are prevalent to match baitfish silhouettes
• Opt for larger spoons in late season when herring become the dominant forage

Usage and setup tips

Pair the Coyote Spoon with a compatible dodger or flasher to amplify the trailing color and motion. Experiment with trolling speed and line length to align the lure’s swim with water temperature and current, aiming for a steady, enticing trail behind your rig.
