Walking into a tackle shop and trying to assemble a spoon trolling setup from scratch is overwhelming. What size spoon? What color? What leaders? Do I need planers? What weight? The Clarkspoon Trolling Kit answers every question with a single box.
You get the proven spoons, the right leaders, planers for depth, sinkers as a backup option, and a guide book that explains how to put it all together. Clip a spoon to a leader, attach a planer, deploy at 4-5 knots, and you are fishing. At $85.99, the kit costs less than buying each component separately and removes the confusion of building a trolling setup from individual parts.

Four Spoon Varieties
Chrome and gold in #0 and #00 sizes cover the basic color and size spectrum. Chrome with chartreuse flash and chrome with pink flash add color options for different water conditions. You have enough variety to rotate colors and find what the fish want on any given day.
Planers and Sinkers Included
Two Number 1 planers pull your spoons down 5-15 feet below the surface where mackerel and bluefish hold during the day. Two ball bearing trolling sinkers give you an alternative depth method for calmer conditions or lighter presentations. Both methods are covered in the included guide book.
Pre-Rigged Leaders and Guide Book
The 30 foot leaders on leader wheels are ready to fish out of the box. No crimping, no tying, no guessing about leader length. The How to Fish Planers guide book walks you through setup, deployment, and technique so you are productive on your first trip.
How to Set Up the Clarkspoon Trolling Kit
1. Select a Clarkspoon and attach it to the end of a pre-rigged leader
2. Clip a Number 1 planer to your main line 30 feet ahead of the leader
3. Alternatively, use a ball bearing trolling sinker for a lighter setup
4. Deploy at 4-6 knots for spoon trolling
5. Let out 75-150 feet of line behind the planer
6. Refer to the included guide book for planer adjustment and spread positioning

Is this kit good for beginners? +
This is designed specifically for anglers getting into spoon trolling. Everything is included and the guide book explains setup and technique. You do not need prior trolling experience. Our trolling lure guide provides additional depth on the subject.
What species will this kit catch? +
Spanish mackerel, bluefish, bonito, and false albacore are the primary targets. King mackerel and cobia will also hit Clarkspoons. The kit is sized for nearshore species in the 2-15 pound range. Our Spanish mackerel guide covers targeting these species.
What boat do I need for this? +
Any boat that can maintain 4-6 knots works. Center consoles, bay boats, walkarounds, and even kayaks with trolling motors can troll Clarkspoons. You do not need a dedicated trolling boat. See our trolling guide for boat-specific tips.
What is a planer? +
A planer is a dive device that clips to your line and pulls your lure down to a set depth. When a fish strikes, the planer trips and comes to the surface so you fight the fish without the extra drag. Our planer guide explains how to rig and use them.
Can I add more spoons to this kit? +
Yes. The kit gives you a solid starting selection. Add individual Clarkspoon Spoon Squid lures or Clark Casters to expand your color and size options as you learn what your local fish prefer.
What trolling speed works best? +
4-6 knots is the sweet spot for Clarkspoon trolling. The spoons produce maximum wobble and flash in this range. Faster speeds reduce the spoon action. Our trolling speed chart has species-specific recommendations.
Do I need anything else to start trolling? +
A medium spinning or conventional rod and reel spooled with 15-20lb braid or mono is all you need beyond what is in the kit. The kit provides the terminal tackle, lures, and knowledge. Our lure guide covers gear selection.
