Questions about Acme Phoebe Spinning Lure

Which color of these do you think works the best?

Answer: The silver or gold works best for me!

Answer: I use silver and gold. I'm unfamiliar with the multicolored lure.

Answer: It depends on different circumstances, species of fish targeted, water clarity, etc. you can't go wrong with the gold. I have caught just about every freshwater species with it. When I first started fishing as a child in the 70's they didn't have all these color options pretty much just gold or silver and gold was the go to. I recommend buying the gold, trying it and going from there.

Answer: Solid gold one. I have used the rainbow and brown trout but haven't had as many strikes as the "plain gold one."

Answer: Gold is the tried and true option for most species and conditions I fish.

does this lure have a hook

Answer: yes treble hook

Answer: Yes

I know this sounds stupid but the picture dosent show the hooks. Does it come with Hooks?

Answer: Yes,a treble hook!

Answer: Yes it does

Where these lures are made in? I saw on description, manufactured in china. Is it mistake or truth?

Do you have to use a swivel tied directly to the lure or up 12-18 inches of leader?

Answer: I use it with the swivel tied directly to the lure. Always have great success with this lure.

Answer: I have had good luck tied directly.

Answer: Either way is good in a river,but when I'm in a pond trolling I like to use a leader of 2 to 3 feet...!

Answer: You'll get better action with a swivel. I also added a split ring to ease lure changes.

When I buy a phoebe lure generally there is a swivel that comes on it. Can you tell me what brand/kind of swivel it is that comes on a size 1/12oz

Answer: I don't know... I use a small one... on all of'em.

i need the biggest size they make of these phoebe trout lures, is this 1/6oz the biggest?

Product reviews of Acme Phoebe Spinning Lure

Steven : I constantly have to restock these guys as they fish better then I do so they've constantly found there ways ...

These little lures catch more fish then anything else that I've tried. The trout go crazy for these flipping through the water. I constantly have to restock these guys as they fish better then I do so they've constantly found there ways into trees. No regrets since they are economically priced.

William Watson : wrong one

I asked for the Metallic Perch I received the Fighting Tiger lure! They were marked Wrong! I was hoping to use this lure in a trout tournament.

Ronicus : Five Stars

Can't beat a phoebe when you hit the trout stream!

Robert Case : I will definitely order again.

Everything was great, well packaged, and meet all of my expectations.

Kim Callahan : Love to Trout fish and these are great on Brownies ...

Love to Trout fish and these are great on Brownies and Rainbows. I attach my line directly to the spoon and do not use a split-ring. The action is excellent.

M.S. MacCollum : Phoebe fishing lure

This item never arrived. I talked to Green Mountain after the lures never arrived and they were going to resend them two day, no charge. That was almost two weeks ago and they still haven't arrived. I would never order from Green Mountain again. This is a small order, but important as it's a great lure and I was looking forward to fishing it with my grandchildren in hopes of catching brookie, brown, and Colorado cut throat trout.

Joe M. : Works great for surf fishing as well!

I have 4 of these in the 1/4 oz. size in silver, gold, silver nickel/blue, and silver nickel/green. The silver colors are better when the sky and the water is clear while the gold works best in cloudy skies and dingy waters. If you've ever fished with Kastmasters (which are also made by Acme), these lures work the same way except it has a much wider wobble. Everyone knows these work well for freshwater fishing (works on rainbow trout and bass) but these can also be used for surf fishing. I took these out to Long Beach, CA and caught 4 fish in a little less than 2 hours. I've included a few pics of my catches which include a 1 lb yellowfin croaker and a 1.5 lb pacific bonito. I've found through my experience with the lures that the best way to fish these is a slow, steady retrieve. Excellent lure!
