The E.V. Trutta Takaheitto 2.0 is a highly sought-after, hand-crafted pike lure renowned amongst Finnish anglers. This 20g weighted spoon lure sits between the smaller ‘Normi’ and larger ‘Iso’ models, making it a versatile choice for year-round fishing. It performs exceptionally well at moderate speeds, but also handles faster retrieves with ease. The large and noticeable swimming action is smooth and fluid, regardless of the pace.

Historically, the E.V. Trutta has been a favorite amongst Atlantic Salmon (Taimen) anglers, and it remains a legendary lure within the Finnish fishing community. Developed by the esteemed Erkki Virolainen, one of Finland's most respected lure makers, this lure embodies his legacy.

Each Takaheitto is meticulously hand-crafted with a metal body featuring soldered tips, strategically placed weighting, and a specific design to reduce weight. The final stage includes wrapping the body in foil, hand-painting, and multiple coats of lacquer, creating a truly unique lure. Notably, the lure’s floating and slightly diving behavior is irresistible to pike when the retrieve slows, particularly during pauses while trolling.

E.V. Trutta lures are individually hand-painted, akin to unique artworks, making them highly collectible and cherished gifts.
