Quick take
A 5 inch topwater lure with stout hardware and sharp hooks, designed for bass and stripers that attack aggressively.
The Heddon Super Spook is a 5-inch topwater walking bait that weighs 7/8 ounce, a weight that suits long casts over open water. Its Lake Fork Shad color is a natural pick for anglers working bass and striped bass around shad schools. The lure is built for walk-the-dog action, with a cast and a steady retrieve that makes it zig-zag across the surface.
Best for
- Schooling stripers in open water
- Bass feeding on the surface at dawn and dusk
- High-energy fishing when fish are active
Skip if
- You need to cast distance; walk the dog requires close-range control
- You fish around dense vegetation
Strengths
- Super-stout stainless steel hardware handles hard strikes
- Three super-sharp hooks increase hook-up rates on fast-striking fish
- Erratic walk-the-dog action simulates an injured baitfish
Trade-offs
- Requires practiced casting technique to walk the dog effectively
- The stout construction adds weight, limiting distance on lighter line
- At 7/8 oz it sinks when paused; constant movement keeps it on top

About this type
