Forest MIU AREA Starter Rotation Spoon Set — Instructions Included Below
$49.99
Made in Japan
AREA trout fishing — Japan’s refined stillwater style — uses a Rotation technique that also applies perfectly to urban trout waters. This set introduces that method to U.S. anglers in a simple, confidence-building way. Full rotation instructions appear below in “More Details.”
Includes 9 Forest MIU AREA spoons:
• 2.2g (3 colors)
• 2.8g (3 colors)
• 3.5g (3 colors)
Begin with the 2.8g spoon in the lowest-numbered color, then adjust the color number and weight based on trout response.
All spoons include factory barbless single hooks.
Forest recommends using snaps for ideal action and quick rotation changes.
Note: Each kit is hand-picked and curated to include a balanced range of low-, mid-, and high-presence colors across all three weights. Curated selections may vary slightly between kits.

What’s Inside
9 Forest MIU AREA spoons
• 2.2g (3 colors)
• 2.8g (3 colors)
• 3.5g (3 colors)
• Single barbless hooks installed
Where to Start
Begin with the 2.8g spoon in the lowest-numbered color.
Use a steady retrieve—about 1 turn per second.
This assumes trout are feeding or willing to chase.
Presentation Adjustments Based on Trout Behavior
If trout show no interest at all, increase presence by moving up in weight (more silhouette and vibration) or selecting a lower-numbered color (stronger flash and a more assertive tone), helping reluctant trout notice the spoon and become more engaged.
If trout chase but do not commit, reduce presence by moving down in weight (less silhouette and vibration) or selecting a higher-numbered color (softer flash and a more subtle tone), giving pressured trout a presentation they are more comfortable committing to.
Color Number Guide
• Low-numbered colors = brighter, higher presence
• Mid-numbered colors = natural, balanced presence
• High-numbered colors = subtle, low presence
Choose both weight and color based on trout feedback — more presence when they aren’t reacting, more subtlety when they’re cautious.
Quick Reference
3.5g = more casting distance, wind handling, deeper water, faster retrieves, and strong performance in fast current.
2.8g = a balanced starting point for most trout situations. Use this weight first to read trout behavior before adjusting up or down.
2.2g = shallow water, slow retrieves, slower current, and pressured fish.
Note: Forest recommends using a snap with your spoons to maintain full action and maximum freedom of movement during the retrieve.
Just follow this easy system — the trout will tell you what to do next.
Fishing with ultralight spoons is some of the most fun you’ll ever have.
