MooseLook

The top producing pattern in Maine is copper and always has been.

The Mooselook Wobbler was always the claim to fame of the J. A. Greene Company. A trout and salmon classic throughout the Northeast and eastern Canada, it’s arguably the favourite spoon for trout and salmon fishing in the state of Maine. The top producing pattern in Maine is copper and always has been. 

The Mooselook was developed for use on the fabled salmon and trout of Northern Maine’s Lake Mooselookmeguntic from whence it takes its name. It is equally as effective on a variety of other species. Spoon feed them with Mooselook. The Mooselook Wobbler got its start in the mid 1930’s when John Zelonka, an insurance sales representative and his wife Annie, also an accomplished angler, developed the lure. 

Local lore had it that John changed his surname to avoid confusion with another insurance salesman in the region of the same name, and because of the many varied spellings of his name. His choice of Greene honoured his roots, as Zelonka in the Slovak language means “green.”
