New Winter Lures from Northland

BEMIDJI, Minn. – Ice anglers expect Northland to develop the most innovative and effective lures every hardwater season. And the ice fishing leader isn’t letting anyone down this winter. For the upcoming 2024-25 season, Northland introduces the Tungsten Buck-Shot Rattle Spoon, Tungsten Slim Spoon, Thumper Spoon, Rigged Tungsten Broom Bug, and Rigged Tungsten Pin Fry – covering everything that swims beneath your feet.

Tungsten Buck-Shot Rattle Spoon

The regal spoon combines all the benefits of tungsten with the antics and action of the original Buck-Shot Rattle Spoon. Like its forefather, the new Tungsten Buck-Shot Rattle Spoon features a brass chamber with internal bearings that produce the classic ticks, thumps, and clicks – the effectiveness of the noisemaker proven out by thousands of ice anglers over the years.

Cosmetically, you – and the fish – will appreciate the forged and detailed scales and gills on the new Tungsten Buck-Shot Rattle Spoon. The raised features cause light to dance and reflect, emulating baitfish on the run. Choose from 12 patterns, seven of which feature Northland’s long-beaming Super-Glo phosphorescent treatment, all sporting the signature red “T” eyeball. On the business end, the Tungsten Buck-Shot Rattle Spoon features a fatally sharp, blood-red treble hook.

  • COLORS: Silver Perch, Gold, UV Glo Perch, UV Glo Pink Tiger, UV Glo Electric Perch, Super-Glo Wonderbread, Purple Racecar, Super-Glo Purple Wonder, Blue Racecar, Super-Glo Sneeze, Golden Perch, and Super-Glo Red Gold
  • 3 SIZES: 1/8-ounce (#12 hook), ¼-ounce (#10 hook), and 3/8-ounce (#8 hook)

MSRP $9.99

Tungsten Slim Spoon

The new slender-profile spoon maximizes its tungsten composition to get down fast! Its leaner-looks also make it more favorable to perch, trout, and panfish. Once reaching the lake floor, the Tungsten Slim Spoon’s unique feature-set results in a deadly dance. Its flat sides and angular head imbue a tumbling action on a freefall once jigging gets underway. An added flicker blade at the base of the body adds further temptation and is ideal for shimmying to turn lookers into a biters.

Thumper Spoon

Fish will know when a Thumper Spoon walks in the room. Its wide profile emits a beacon of flash and generates a spectacular flutter on the drop. Constructed of premium stamped brass, the spoon’s body sports strategically placed bends that accentuate the trembling action. Moreover, a flicker blade at the base of the body adds even more commotion.

The Thumper Spoon is available in a wide array of sizes and colors offering the perfect option for any species, in any type of water conditions.

Rigged Tungsten Broom Bug

Picking matched plastics and rigging them with frozen fingers can be challenging. Northland offers a solution. The Rigged Tungsten Broom Bug comes out of the package ready to fish and the available color schemes are tested and proven.

Founded on Northland’s popular Tungsten Flat Fry, the 1.5-inch Rigged Tungsten Broom Bug rests horizontally in the water, its soft plastic body providing the compelling and familiar profile of a bloodworm or mayfly. The authentic body features segmentation, appendages, and a small flat paddletail that moves with the slightest twitch. A prime bait for trout, crappies, bluegills, and perch.

  • COLORS: Gold, Glo White, Fruit Fly, Tiger Beetle, and Woodtick
  • SIZES: 1/28-ounce (#12 hook) and 1/16-ounce (#10 hook)

MSRP $8.49 (2 rigged, 3 extra bodies)

Rigged Tungsten Pin Fry

Also based on the Tungsten Flat Fry and pre-rigged for simplicity, the Rigged Tungsten Pin Fry emulates the micro baitfish often consumed by panfish, perch, and trout. The 1-inch bait rides horizontally at rest to create a realistic and easily inhaled target.

Its jointed, soft plastic tail section moves with as little input as the caffeine shakes. Features a prickly sharp hoop.

  • COLORS: Gold, Glo White, Fruit Fly, Tiger Beetle, and Woodtick
  • SIZES: 1/28-ounce (#12 hook) and 1/16-ounce (#10 hook)

MSRP $8.49 (2 rigged, 3 extra bodies)
