The SpoolTek Fatty is a state-of-the-art fishing lure specifically crafted to mimic the appearance and movement of various forage species that large predatory fish feed on. The Rainbow Trout color pattern of this model is particularly effective in freshwater systems where trout are native or stocked, enticing strikes from target species such as bass, northern pike, and other game fish.
One of the innovative features of the SpoolTek Fatty lies in its patented internal concealable leader technology. Upon a fish biting the lure, the internal spool deploys a strong braided line leader, reducing the chance of fish gaining leverage to throw the hook. This system also permits anglers to use lighter leaders for more natural presentation and action.
Here are some additional key features of the SpoolTek Fatty:
- Length: 5 inches (12.7 cm) – an ideal size for imitating many baitfish types.
- Action: Sinking – allows anglers to target deeper water where big fish often hide.
- Internal Spool: Contains a braid leader that can withstand the force of large fish.
- Concealed Leader: Prevents fish from using the lure's weight to dislodge the hook, improving catch ratios.
- Realistic Design: Built to represent a Rainbow Trout, a common forage fish for many predators.
- Durable Construction: Made to withstand tough bites and fights with aggressive fish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the internal spool work?

A: This lure is designed with versatility in mind, resembling a range of baitfish species including pilchards, croakers, pinfish, finger mullet, herring, threadfin shad, gizzard shad, and bunker.

Q: Can the weight of the lure be used by the fish to free itself from the hook?
A: No, one of the key benefits of the SpoolTek Fatty is the reduction in the odds of a hooked fish using the lure's weight as leverage to free itself. This feature results in higher success rates and a more satisfying fishing experience.
