Here are a couple lures to look for at your favorite bait shop this fall. Heddon took its classic Zara Spook and updated it with sound, and while at it, made it a more effective lure.
The classic Heddon Spook now sings two new songs. New for 2010 from Heddon are the Rattlin’ Spook and the One Knocker Spook, each with its own unique sound to draw strikes from big fish. The new Rattlin’ Spook features a new rattle chamber containing multiple tungsten BBs for loud panicked baitfish sounds. The design of the chamber amplifies and intensifies the sounds for a loud, fish-calling rattle. The chamber also makes it easier to produce smooth walk-the-dog retrieves with longer "glides" on each twitch of the rod. Fourteen realistic color patterns and Mustad Triple Grip hooks seal the deal when big bass crash the surface.
The second new Spook takes One Knocker technology and applies it to this classic bait. The One Knocker Spook features a single tungsten rattle contained inside a sound chamber that intensifies the distinctive “thump” that One Knockers produce. Like the Rattlin’ Spook, the One Knocker Spook’s sound chamber is poresitioned to promote smooth walk-the-dog retrieves. The One Knocker Spooks come in the same color patterns as the Rattlin’ Spook, and the size is the same as the classic “Sweet Size” Spook that has duped bass for decades.
The Rattlin’ Spook and One Knocker Spooks each weigh 3/4-ounce and measure 4 ½-inches, and come in fourteen color patterns including G-Finish Foxy Shad, Foxy Momma and the new G-Finish Tilapia.
