Heddon Super Spook Saltwater Topwater Lure
The full-size Heddon Super Spook is a staple in saltwater tackle boxes across the country. At 5 inches and 7/8 oz, it pushes more water and casts farther than the Super Spook Jr, making it the pick for bigger water and larger fish. The walk-the-dog action and internal rattle call aggressive strikes from striped bass, snook, bluefish, and redfish.
- Full-size 5 inch body pushes more water
- Internal rattle broadcasts noise in stained water
- Saltwater treble hooks and stainless hardware
- Proven walk-the-dog action since 1894
The Full-Size Spook for Serious Surface Strikes
When fish are blowing up on the surface and you need a lure that pushes enough water to get noticed, the full-size Super Spook delivers. The 5-inch body creates a wider walk-the-dog path than the Jr, displacing more water and throwing a bigger visual profile. Striped bass anglers in the Northeast have relied on this lure for decades during fall blitzes.
Snook around the mangroves, redfish on the flats, and bluefish in the wash all respond to the Spook's combination of side-to-side action and rattle noise. Durable construction and saltwater-grade hardware hold up to repeated abuse. At $8.49, this is one of the best values in topwater fishing.

Bigger Profile, Bigger Splash
The 5-inch body and 7/8 oz weight create a wider walking path and more water displacement than the Jr. When fish are keyed on larger bait or you need to get attention in rough water, the full-size Spook is the answer.
Internal Rattle System
The built-in rattle chamber produces noise with every twitch. In low visibility conditions, this acoustic signal draws fish to the lure before they can see it. Sound plus splash plus walking action is hard for predators to ignore.
Saltwater-Tough Hardware
Wide gap saltwater treble hooks and stainless split rings come ready to fish. No need to upgrade hardware before your first trip. Heddon has been building lures since 1894 and the hardware choices reflect that experience.

Super Spook vs Super Spook Jr: which one? +

What species hit the Super Spook? +
Striped bass, snook, redfish, bluefish, speckled trout, and jack crevalle. It works anywhere fish feed on the surface. Our striped bass guide covers topwater tactics.
How do you walk the dog? +
Point your rod tip down, make rhythmic twitches, and reel slowly to take up slack. The lure glides side to side. Our lure guide covers this technique.
Best color for the Super Spook? +
Silver Mullet and Bone are universal. Chartreuse/White works well in stained water. Match local baitfish for best results. See our lure selection guide.
What line should I use with topwater lures? +
Braid mainline (15-30 lb) with a fluorocarbon leader (15-30 lb). Braid has no stretch for a better walk-the-dog cadence. See our fishing line guide.
Can I use the Super Spook in freshwater? +
Absolutely. It was originally a bass lure. The saltwater version has upgraded hardware for corrosion resistance but catches largemouth and smallmouth just fine. Our lure guide covers more.
