Abu Garcia Toby 28g 9cm 1–3m Ayu

Abu Garcia Toby 28g — legendary catching power

The Abu Garcia Toby in 28g and 9cm is a proven classic for targeting predators in freshwater. With its lead-free construction and enticing swimming action, this spoon delivers reliable performance in depths from 1 to 3 metres.

A casting spoon with over 65 years of heritage

First introduced in 1956, the Toby quickly became one of the world's best-selling lures—so iconic it once featured in the Abu Garcia logo. This 28g version casts effortlessly and works its fish-attracting wobble on a steady retrieve, tempting pike, perch, trout, and other predators.

Lead-free design, enticing action

The Toby's curved body creates a lively, fluttering motion that triggers strikes from aggressive feeders. The Ayu colour pattern mimics natural baitfish, making it effective in a range of water clarities. Finished without lead, this spoon meets modern environmental standards while maintaining the proven performance anglers rely on.
