The SpoolTek Fatty is a game-changing lure designed to efficiently mimic various forage fish with a high degree of realism. When targeting specific species of fish that commonly prey on pilchards, croakers, pinfish, finger mullet, herring, threadfin shad, gizzard shad, and bunker, the SpoolTek Fatty's size and color pattern make it an ideal choice.
What sets the SpoolTek Fatty apart from other lures is its unique internal concealed leader technology. This spool contains a stainless steel leader for most variants, and an exception to this is the Bass colors which utilize a braid leader for added strength and abrasion resistance. When a fish strikes the lure, the internal spool deploys the leader, which is separate from the body of the bait. This groundbreaking design allows anglers to use lighter leaders attached to the eyelet of the lure, thus increasing the lure's action while drastically reducing the chance of break-offs since the heavy-duty leader is now bearing the brunt of the force.
The SpoolTek Fatty also offers a significant advantage during the fight; when a fish is hooked, it cannot use the weight of the lure to gain leverage and potentially throw the hook. This feature greatly increases the chance of a successful catch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What species of fish can be caught using the SpoolTek Fatty?
A: The SpoolTek Fatty is proficient at attracting and catching a wide array of predatory species, making it a versatile tool for both fresh and saltwater anglers targeting species that prey on the aforementioned types of baitfish.
Q: How does the internal spool feature work?
A: Upon a strike, the internal spool mechanism allows the concealed leader to deploy, connecting the fish to the heavy-duty leader instead of the mainline. This not only ensures a more secure connection to the fish but also maintains the integrity and action of the lure for enhanced attractiveness and effectiveness.
Q: What advantage does the SpoolTek Fatty provide when a fish is hooked?
A: The separation between the lure and the leader when a fish is hooked means that the fish cannot effectively use the lure weight against itself. This feature greatly minimizes the chance of losing a fish due to thrown hooks, often a frustrating outcome for anglers during the fight.
