Watch out for Riptide — a Santa Cruz original that fuses 90s Cali surf-culture with an unmistakable energy . Built on a reflective chrome base that catches sunlight like a baitfish, Riptide’s front and back tips flare in chartreuse yellow and neon orange for eye-catching contrast that triggers aggressive strikes in even low light and murky water. The spoons center is hand-painted with a sky-blue electric wave motif that channels vintage style adding an unmistakable retro flair to a modern, durable lure. Balanced for smooth action through rips and swells, from oceans to rivers. Riptide was crafted on California’s coast for anglers who want gear that looks as bold as it fishes —rugged enough for the lineup. The spoon combines retro patterns, raw force, and high-visibility that appeals to a variety of species while bringing a playful, nostalgic pop to your tackle box.
Each spoon is hand painted in California with epoxy powder paint that provides an ultra-durable, highly resistant protective shell-ensuring they will withstand the toughest fishing conditions without losing their vibrant finish. As always, each lure is meticulously fitted with premium hardware. For Salmon and Steelhead targeting we have used Gamakatsu “Big River” barbed sickle hooks, guaranteeing exceptional performance and reliability on every cast. You may know that we usually use barbless hooks, but hundreds of anglers have requested barbed hooks for our Salmon/Steelhead spoons since many California, Oregon, and Washington rivers permit barbed hooks. Obviously the barb can be crimped if you simply prefer barbless or if barbless is required in the waterway you are fishing…each river and tributary has different rules and regulations, but this gives you two options. Bring some high vibrations and California heat to to the end of your line with Riptide, and catch the stoke.
