Fishing spoons are popular angling lures in India, known locally as \“spoon bait\“ or \“chamach\“ in Hindi. These lures mimic the flash and movement of small fish, attracting predatory species like mahseer, snakehead, and catfish.
Indian manufacturers produce spoons in various sizes, from 5g to 30g, suitable for different water conditions. Traditional designs feature brass or copper finishes, while modern versions incorporate painted patterns and holographic effects.
Local anglers often modify spoons by adding reflective tape or changing hooks to suit specific fishing conditions in rivers like Ganges, Brahmaputra, and backwaters of Kerala. |
