Clarkspoon Flashspoons: Extra Flash for More Strikes

Clarkspoon Flashspoons take the classic Clarkspoon design and add Mylar flash tape for extra flash and vibration in the water. That added sparkle makes a real difference when Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Bonito, and Stripers are keyed in on baitfish. Available in sizes 00 and 0 with 7 flash color options, these spoons let you match local bait profiles from Cape Cod to the Florida Keys. Rig them behind a 3-4oz trolling weight or a #1-2 inline planer on 20-30lb fluorocarbon leader and troll at 4-7 knots. The stainless steel saltwater hooks handle the punishment that toothy fish dish out. Assembled in the USA, Clarkspoon Flashspoons are a go-to for anglers who want more flash without more hassle.
  • Mylar Flash Tape for extra flash and vibration that plain spoons can't match
  • 7 Flash Colors to match any bait profile from silversides to menhaden
  • Sizes 00 and 0 to dial in your presentation for the species you're targeting
  • Stainless Steel Hooks built for saltwater abuse
  • Assembled in USA with quality imported components

More Flash Means More Fish in the Box

Plain trolling spoons catch fish. Flashspoons catch more. The Mylar flash tape on every Clarkspoon Flashspoon reflects light at angles that a bare metal spoon simply cannot. When you're trolling through a school of Spanish Mackerel or running a spread for Bluefish, that extra flash is the difference between a look and a committed strike.

Anglers up and down the Atlantic coast have figured this out. From the Chesapeake Bay Striper grounds to the Carolina capes where Spanish Mackerel stack up in the fall, Clarkspoon Flashspoons are in the rotation. They're equally deadly behind a planer or a simple trolling weight, and the 7 color options mean you can adjust on the water when one color goes cold.

At $7.99-$8.99 per spoon, you can stock your tacklebox with every color and both sizes without breaking the bank. That's cheap insurance for days when the fish are picky about presentation.

Mylar Flash Tape Construction

Every Clarkspoon Flashspoon is wrapped with Mylar flash tape that produces extra flash and vibration as it moves through the water. This reflective material catches light from multiple angles, mimicking the side-flash of a fleeing baitfish. The tape is durable enough to hold up to repeated strikes from toothy species like Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel.

Stainless Steel Saltwater Hooks

The hooks on these spoons are strong stainless steel built specifically for saltwater use. They resist corrosion trip after trip and hold their points through dozens of fish. No need to swap out hooks before you even hit the water.

7 Colors in 2 Sizes

Choose from Green, Silver, Chartreuse, Pink, Chartreuse/Pink, Chartreuse/Green, and Blue in sizes 00 and 0. Size 00 is your pick when bait is small or fish are finicky. Size 0 covers most standard trolling situations. Running multiple colors in a spread helps you figure out what's working faster.

How to Fish Clarkspoon Flashspoons

Tie a 3-5 foot length of 20-30lb fluorocarbon leader to the Flashspoon using a loop knot or small snap swivel

Attach the leader to your main line behind a 3-4oz trolling weight or a #1-2 inline planer

Let out 50-100 feet of line behind the boat depending on water clarity and boat traffic

Troll at 4-7 knots, adjusting speed based on target species (5-6 knots is the sweet spot for Spanish Mackerel)

Vary your trolling speed periodically to change the spoon's action and trigger reaction strikes

Run a spread of 2-4 rods with different colors to identify the hot pattern faster

When you get a strike, maintain your trolling speed and let the fish hook itself against the drag

Re-check your leader and hook point after every fish, especially after Bluefish

What fish can I catch with Clarkspoon Flashspoons? +
Clarkspoon Flashspoons are proven on Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Bonito, and Striped Bass. They also work well for King Mackerel when trolled at the right speed. Check out our Spanish Mackerel Fishing Guide for rigging and tactics.
What is the difference between size 00 and size 0? +
Size 00 is the smaller spoon, best when bait is small or fish are being selective. Size 0 is the standard size that covers most trolling situations. Both sizes work great behind a planer or trolling weight.
How fast should I troll Clarkspoon Flashspoons? +
Troll between 4-7 knots depending on your target species. Spanish Mackerel like 5-6 knots, while Bluefish respond well at 4-5 knots. See our Trolling Speed Chart for exact speeds by species.
What leader should I use with Flashspoons? +
Use 20-30lb fluorocarbon leader in a 3-5 foot length. Fluorocarbon is nearly invisible underwater and resists abrasion from toothy fish. For Bluefish specifically, check our Bluefish Fishing Guide for leader recommendations.
Can I use Flashspoons with an inline planer? +
Absolutely. Clarkspoon Flashspoons work great behind a #1 or #2 inline planer like the Old Salty Planer. The planer pulls the spoon down and out to the side, covering more water. Read our Inline Planer Fishing Guide for the full setup.
What color Flashspoon should I use? +
Start with Chartreuse or Silver in clear water and Pink or Chartreuse/Pink in stained water. Blue works well early morning and late afternoon. Run multiple colors in your spread and let the fish tell you. Our King Mackerel Guide covers color selection in detail.
What makes Flashspoons different from regular Clarkspoons? +
Flashspoons have Mylar flash tape added to the spoon body, which produces extra flash and vibration that a plain metal spoon cannot. This added visual trigger can make a big difference when fish are keyed on baitfish. Pair them with Bridle Weights for precise depth control.
Do Clarkspoon Flashspoons work for Striped Bass? +
Yes. Flashspoons trolled behind a 3-4oz weight at 3-5 knots are deadly on Stripers, especially when fish are chasing bait near the surface. Size 0 in Silver or Chartreuse is the go-to. Read our Striped Bass Fishing Guide for more tactics.
