SpoolTek Fatty – 6in – Sinking – White Ghost

SpoolTek Fatty – 6in – Sinking – White Ghost - Review

The SpoolTek Fatty is a 6-inch fishing lure that sinks and comes in a white ghost color. It is specifically designed to imitate various types of baitfish such as pilchards, croakers, pinfish, finger mullet, herring, threadfin shad, gizzard shad, bunker, and more.

What sets this lure apart is its unique feature – an internal spool that contains a stainless steel leader. For Bass colors, the leader is made of braid. When a fish strikes, the spool will separate from the lure. This allows anglers to use lighter leaders attached to the eyelet of the lure, improving its action and reducing the risk of breakoffs caused by the internal leader.

Another advantage of this design is that hooked fish will not be able to utilize the weight of the lure to leverage against the hook, increasing the chances of a successful catch.
