The Oldstream S01 is a large, heavy-duty spoon lure inspired by classic designs such as the Gnome and built specifically for serious predator anglers. While primarily developed for catfish fishing, this powerful spoon is equally capable of tempting large, cautious pike that won’t respond to conventional lures.

Unlike many spoons, the S01 does not spin during slow retrieves. Instead, it delivers a pronounced side-to-side wobble that creates a strong hydroacoustic signal in the water. This movement closely imitates large prey fish such as bream, making it extremely attractive to big predators holding deep.

The lure performs best when retrieved very slowly, with minimal reel handle movement. This lazy, methodical approach allows the angler to feel a steady, pulsing vibration through the rod. While the technique may feel repetitive, it is highly effective, especially when fish are inactive or pressured.

The Oldstream S01 is designed for deeper water, with a recommended minimum depth of around 5 metres when spinning. It also excels when used for trolling in deep lakes and bays, where its weight and action allow it to work consistently at depth.

Due to its powerful action and weight, strong tackle is recommended, ideally rods rated at 40g or even 50–60g casting weight.

Handcrafted using traditional Oldstream techniques, the S01 combines raw power, proven effectiveness, and premium finishing — a must-have spoon for anglers targeting the biggest predators in deep water.
