By the RMA Crew
We've said it before and we'll say it again: the names are puns. The spoons are serious.
The Species Hunters series is the latest proof. Walleye Prevail. Bassking Alexandria. Coho and Cambria. The Talking Sheepheads. Every one of these is a band pun wearing a fish costume, and every one of them was built to catch king salmon on the Great Lakes.
Walleye Prevail is our I Prevail tribute — the Michigan metalcore band, which felt right for a spoon built by a Michigan fishing crew. The color profile was built for kings, not walleye. The name just made us laugh hard enough to stick.
Bassking Alexandria is our Asking Alexandria tribute and a king salmon spoon through and through. The UV color profile was developed for Great Lakes chinook, and it produces. The name sounds like it should be a bass spoon. It is not. It catches kings.
Coho and Cambria is our Coheed and Cambria tribute — one of the RMA crew's favorite bands and one of our favorite spoon names in the whole lineup. Built for king salmon, works across the Great Lakes. The coho in the name is a coincidence that we absolutely leaned into.
The Talking Sheepheads is our Talking Heads tribute. No sheepshead were harmed in the making of this spoon, and it was not designed for sheepshead. It was designed for king salmon. It catches king salmon. David Byrne would probably appreciate the absurdity.
The Species Hunters series is proof that you don't need to take your lure names seriously to take your fishing seriously. Every spoon in this group was developed on the water by the RMA crew and tested on Great Lakes kings before it ever hit the store. The names are a joke. The fish in the cooler are not.
