Ignite Your Hardwater Season
With slender bodies, prominent eyes, and sticky hooks, Northland’s New Bro Bug Spoons light-up everything from jumbo perch and slab bluegills to finicky trout and tasty walleyes.
BEMIDJI, Minn. (October 19, 2021) – Amazingly versatile, Northland Tackle’s new Bro Bug Spoon is the catch-all solution you’ve been looking for as hardwater season approaches. Designed to match the hatch, its slender body resembles young-of-the-year baitfish or freshwater bloodworms, favorite wintertime targets of perch, bluegills, crappies and walleyes, among other ice-fishing targets.
“This spoon is super effective in a variety of ice-fishing situations,” said Northland pro-staffer and veteran multi-species fishing guide, Brian “Bro” Brosdahl. “It’s long and thin, making it easy for predator species to spot and mistake for winter fodder, yet it drops fast and then shimmies and shakes with the slightest twitch of the rod thanks to its flat sides. The Bro Bug Spoon catches just about anything on the hardwater menu, but I especially love to break it out when speed fishing for jumbo perch and targeting big walleyes.

Unlike other spoons, the Bro Bug Spoon features 3D bulging lifelike eyes that show up exceptionally well on your electronics and draw attention from predator species even when the lure is momentarily held still. Additionally, the tapered body shape ensures solid hook sets as it provides a wide gap between the lure body and hook points. Tipped with a couple of waxworms or your favorite soft plastic, this lure is simply irresistible to nearly any species you can catch through the ice.
“All you have to do is get it down, give it a wiggle or slight hop, and set the hook with a light flick of the wrist,” assures Brosdahl. “I’ve been excited about the potential of a design like this for a long time and this new lure has proven itself to be well worth the wait, and I’ve had especially good luck so far using the Wonderbread color pattern, so be sure to check it out.”
Available in stores, or online at www.northlandtackle.com, Bro Bug Spoons are packaged individually ($4.99) or as a three-pack ($11.99) With their buggy profile, responsive action, bulging eyes, sticky hooks, plus 12 color patterns and three sizes (1/16-, 1/8- and ¼-oz.), they’re sure to be big hit this winter so don’t miss out.
