Original Drone Bait DRONE Baits are the original saltwater spoons. They were designed and tested in the early 1900's by a fisherman for fishermen. Because of the impressive fishing record of DRONE Baits, it is little wonder that this is one of the most copied lures in existence. But in spite of this copying, there is no other lure with quite the erratic, strike-bringing action of the DRONE. ORIGINAL DRONE SPOON SIZE TABLE Size Blade Length (in.)
