Customer Reviews for Heddon Heddon® Zara® Spook® Puppy
Heddon Heddon® Zara® Spook® Puppy
The Zara Puppy is a 3-inch version of Heddon's original Zara Spook - a bait that's been written about more than any other fishing lure due to its legendary ''walk-the-dog'' action. To fish the Zara Spook Puppy, use a rhythmic, slack-line retrieve that makes the Zara walk from left to right, back and forth. Hooks: two #6.

Cool Lure
,December 17, 2011
By Warphreaque
Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money
"Pretty nice lure. After I learned the retrieve for this lure, I found it to be really reliable lure that fish couldn't resist. I am a bit confused by my lure's color that isn't on the website, which is a red-head mixed with the g-finish color. Also, I did have problem when I had a bass on and then lost the fish. To come to find out, my first treble hook had come out of the lure. I did not take away a star though because no other reviews state this problem. Go catch some."

"A very good investment. The only problem I had is my line decided it was a good time to snap on the first cast. Oh well. I find that color 96 works best."

"I have tried every brand of walk-the-dog bait and this one outshines them all. You will get bites, it's best to delay the hook up for a second until the bass gets a hold of it."

Advantages: Performs well
Disadvantages: hooks will loosen after a big fish- just retighten
"After years of Rapala F-11 work I must say that the puppy has won me over after just three trips. This lure so convinced me because the bass in the pond by my house NEVER hit top water. I tried this plug put the night before the picture was taken in my local pond and caught a 2 pounder on the 5th cast. My Uncles always produced fish with this lure and now I will too. The bass in the pic weighed 5.6 pds and was the last fish of the afternoon I landed in a lake using my Kayak. He initialy hit the lure to stun it and after a waiting game of about 2 minutes and subtle twitches he nailed it again, this time to eat it. All these years and I never walked the dog, man am I feeling stupid. Buy this lure now if you want to draw shy fish from cover, Buy this lure and learn to WTD- you won't regret it. Beware though, watch the screws that hold the hooks, larger fish will loosen them after a good fight. BTW, I caught mine on the G-Finish Pearl/ Red Head...Not sure why BPS doesn't carry this color.
Peace everyone, and keep your lines tight."

Excellent Lure

By Jadvet
from Cub Run, Ky
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"I can say without a doubt, this is the most reliable topwater lure i have ever used. I have fished with this lure for over 10 years and have yet to use it and not catch a fish. I have taken this lure out and on bad days catch three or four fish. On my good days i cant keep up with the numbers of fish i haul in. It was one of the very first lures in my tacklebox, and I've never questioned using it. I have fished both Indiana, and Kentucky waters and my Bull frog design gets the job done."

Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
"I have been fishing with this lure for 15 years and it will consistently catch fish. I use the bullfrog color around lily pads and heavy cover, and always have the bone color on when fishing the Tombigbee river. When the bass start chasing shad up, I quickly toss in that direction and hold on. One can never go wrong with a Zara Puppy or a Zara Spook Jr. All colors produce!!!"

Great, fun lure

By azbassman
from Gilbert, AZ
"Picked this up to hit the local golf course pond, and this thing landed four good sized pond bass in 20 minutes. The action is great and actually is pretty easy to use for the walk-the-dog technique. I have used the regular spook out on the lake, and same result. Just a great lure. Bass can't resist this thing flopping back and forth above them."

Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Style/Design
"I use the bone colored bait with a Sure Set dressed treble on the rear. They walk perfectly everytime and the bass just can't stand it when it goes over the top of them.
I miss a few hooksets by yanking it out of their mouths before they get back into the water with it. The trick is to pause on the hookset until you feel pressure on the line."

Super Dog Walkin' Bait!!
,March 5, 2009
By Jerkbaitdude
from Southeastern New England
"One of my all time favorites, my top water box always has at least 5 of them ready to go.
Recommended is to add your own feather teaser trebles to the back if you really want to emulate bait.
I also reinforce the screw eyes by adding some super glue to them before putting them back on. Needed cause bigger fish could turn them if you don't play them before you get'em near the boat.
It's only a 1/4 oz so it's easiest to throw on spinning gear with 12lb mono. You want the mono to float and you don't want smaller diameter line to tangle in the bait. Use a 40 sized reel with plenty of spool space for long casts with at least a 6'-6" M action rod to lauch this bait.
I've caught hundreds of bass on this bait. Big ones too, not just dinks.
"O""
