The Reliable Spoon 8-inch Bunker Spoon – Lime Green

Overview

The 8-inch Bunker Spoon from The Reliable Spoon is engineered to deliver depth, action, and durability in a single, effective trolling lure. Its balanced design helps the lure slip into the water column where many game fish feed, while offering a natural, fluttery feel that can invite a strike even in tougher conditions.

Durable, proven construction

The stainless steel body is built to stand up to years of saltwater use and repeated trolling passes. This longevity is paired with a trailing treble hook, designed to stay attached during the fight and minimize lost lures in windy or rough water.

• Durable stainless steel construction designed for long-term use
• Trailing treble hook helps secure hookups during quick retrieves
• Adjustable keel weight for precise depth and action control
• Proven lime green color and pattern tuned for striped bass since 1974

Depth, action, and tuning

The adjustable keel lets you fine-tune how deep the spoon runs and how it behaves behind the boat. Small changes in keel weight or speed can shift the lure from a shallow glide to a deeper, more aggressive dive, helping you match the conditions of the day.

Use a steady trolling pace along structure, then adapt by nudging the keel weight to stay in contact with the water column where strikes are more likely. The lime green finish provides strong visibility across a range of light and water colours.

Real-world use cases

Perfect for trolling along break lines, weed beds, and depth transitions. In clear water, the spoon’s reflective finish can catch the eye of cruising fish; in murkier water, the bright color improves contrast for easier detection by the fish and the angler.

• Early morning trolling along structure for striped bass
• Medium-slow retrieves in windy or choppy water for better lure control

Why lime green?

Decades of tuning the color and pattern for striped bass have shaped this lime green finish. While results vary by day, anglers often note increased visibility and strike opportunities under diverse conditions.
