FIBE Kaitum 68mm is a classic spoon pattern from G. Eriksson fiskeredskap, developed for targeted fishing after mountain char and stocked trout in lakes and tarns. The slim, slightly curved body gives a lively flutter on the drop and a stable, rolling action on a straight retrieve, which often triggers follows to turn into hard strikes.
This spoon is well suited for both shore and boat fishing with light to medium-light spinning gear. Its balanced weight casts well even in wind, yet fishes slowly enough to keep in the strike zone over drop-offs, plateaus and shallow bars where char and trout often patrol. Fish it with calm, steady retrieves with short pauses, or lift-and-fall close to the bottom when the fish are more inactive.
FIBE Kaitum 68mm is a good choice for clear mountain waters but also works in regulated reservoirs and put-and-take lakes with planted fish. Combine it with a fine wire single hook or treble hook adapted to your local regulations, and use a thin but strong leader to get the right movement and depth.
