Description
Forest M2 spoons weigh just 0.8 grams. That's about 7/250 of an ounce, which definitely qualifies it as a "micro spoon."
In fact, this is one of the smallest lures we carry. We carry it because it works! It has a small silhouette and an excellent wobbling action.
Designed to catch weary trout in pay-to-fish areas in Japan, M2 spoons are fantastic on highly pressured fish all around the world.
We like to use them on stocked trout in low water and slower flows. We also fish them upstream for wild trout in faster waters too.
The single hook catches fish. After years of extensive testing, we've rarely lost a fish. Yet releasing fish is as easy as backing out the barbless hook. The M2 is a great lure for catch and release fishing.
Why Forest?
Forest is the most popular spoon manufacturer in Japan. Their spoons are also popular with anglers in the know all around the world. They wobble like a wounded baitfish and really draw in strikes.
We met with Forest representatives in Japan who felt their spoons would be a great match for our store. After extensive testing around the US, we agree.
Spoon color selection
Forest uses an intuitive system to help anglers zero in on the best presentation. They make their spoons in different sizes so you can adjust to various water depths and current flows.
Forest recommends you start with color Number 1, then work your way up the numbers until you find what the fish are looking for.
We've brought in the colors we find work best in the United States. We hope to bring in even more variants in the future.
How to fish these spoons
You should fish these micro spoons on a light line. We've fished them successfully with 1, 2, 3 and 4 pound monofilament and fluorocarbon.
Most anglers in Japan use mono on ultralight setups to fish these spoons. Though some people have fished these micro spoons on fly poles or even tenkara rods!
Using a micro duo snap allows you to change colors in a flash. They also let the lure swing freely. We recommend it.
If the spoon comes with a split ring in the front use it. If it doesn't have a split ring, you don't need one. Forest ships their spoons ready to fish!
