The Heddon Zara Spook is designed for topwater and primarily used for bass and pike fishing. The lure is probably best fished with a slack retrieval known as “walking the dog”. A Heddon Zara Spook when popped across the water will have a side to side action. This is a great action if you are in rainy weather where you need a lot of action on the top of the water. It has a very hard knock noise as well. The fish will often bite when the Zara Spook stops momentarily in the slack retrieval process.
One of the greatest things about this lure is that it comes in a huge variety of colors. You will be able to find almost any type of paint you are looking for. They have things that mimic frogs to shad to minnows and basically everything in between.
Night fishing is also a different game for most people. If this is something you will be trying in the near future, many fishermen swear by the performance of a black Heddon Zara Spook. As well, you should not feel that you will be limited to just bass and pike, this lure is also known to attract musky, crappie, and other small fish.
If you are looking for something that has a little bit more of a splash to it, then the Wounded Zara Spook might be something you are looking for. Essentially, the Wounded Zara Spook acts much like the normal Zara Spook, but the difference being that the Wounded has two spinning blades on it. One on the front, and one in the back which seems to make more of a splash than the original. Still, it is used to catch the same type of fish, but may perform slightly better in rainy weather where you need your lure to stand out from the rain hitting against the water.
