Back in the 50's and 60's the Abu Garcia Toby was a legend. Hardly a tackle box could be found that didn't have a few Abu Garcia Toby spoons ready and waiting.

The Abu Garcia Toby is a narrow spoon-type bait valued for both deep and shallow presentations. When retrieved with rod tip high the Abu Garcia Toby wobbles and thrashes along the surface causing fish from below to rise to the occasion. Drop the rod tip and the bait has an erratic motion that mimics a baitfish that can't decide which way to swim. Slow the retrieve and the Abu Garcia Toby drops even deeper. Fished vertically, the Abu Garcia Toby can be jigged up and down with a motion that is sure to result in a strike.

The Abu Garcia Toby is distinguished by the two fins along the sides of the lure near the tail and an undulating body shape. It is this body shape that gives the Abu Garcia Toby its erratic motion when retrieved.
