Questions about Heddon Spit'N Image Fleeing Shad Crankbait Fishing Lure, 3 1/4 Inch, 7/16 Ounce

is this good for peacock bass?

Answer: Hello,

Im looking for a spit'n image jr. Where can i find it?

mine retrieves on it's side, regardless of the speed of the retrieve, is this normal?

Answer: Yes, this one needs to be retrieved with short yanks of the rod while winding it in, it will walk from side to side for best results.

Answer: Yes... it will walk like a spook the lay over when it stops.... I’ve had great success with it on stripers on the river!!! Great lure!!!

Answer: not on mine, it's supposed to sit with it's tail end slightly down in the water, not on it's side, then you pop the rod tip to make the lure jump. real in the slack and repeat till you get it back to the boat.

Product reviews of Heddon Spit'N Image Fleeing Shad Crankbait Fishing Lure, 3 1/4 Inch, 7/16 Ounce

Jake Northcutt : Great lure

This lure straight annihilates bass

Jeffrey A Ross : I proceeded to pull out my Spit'N image (freshwater version) that I brought just for fun. On a rod/reel/line rig that was too bi

First tried this number about 6-7 years ago in Belize. Quick story...

Hired a local guide. I wanted one of those BIG Tarpon that were there at the time. Well, apparently he and the ONLY person that owned a cast net in that part of the country, got into a little tiff the previous evening (over a pool game if I recall). We motor up to his buddy's dock - and he sicked his dogs on us!

Guess he was still upset. So, no cast net. Guide only took clients for tarpon when he had live bait, because, he said, "Without live bait you get nadda". Well, I proceeded to pull out my Spit'N image (freshwater version) that I brought just for fun. On a rod/reel/line rig that was too big for it.

The "Tarpon Torpedo's" were all around us. The guide seemed annoyed that this silly client was trying to catch one on this little bitty piece of high-tech plastic & metal. He humored me, all the while subtly shaking his head. He let me have at it, I suppose, cuzz I was paying for the day. Third cast and, BAM! - an eighty-pounder inhales it.

I mean; it's a wounded freakin' bait-fish. Uh, yeah. Third jump and the lure flew back at us, with [slightly] straightened hooks. The guide was amazed. I said, "Here, you can have this lure. But put heavier hooks on it". Fast-forward to, oh, about, yesterday morning...

The trout (speckled seatrout) top-water bite was ON! So, I decided to experiment. This was after hooking several, and a fat 23 incher, on the Spit'n image, seemingly every third cast, for about 45 minutes.

I've always kinda figure that, when they are hitting on the top, they'll hit anything. Probably true. Mostly. The three other kinds of baits were: plastic minnow-like thingy (think Bass Assassin, but not that brand) with only a hook; another "walk-the-dog" lure from this same company (it works for me fairly well too); and a new-ish "airy"-type plastic. Caught only one fish using those three (slot, barely), after about 30 minutes. The Spit'n Image went back on. And I caught two more - immediately! Then work got in the way (why is that?).

The Spit'N image won the day. Sure, not scientific. But, you can have my Spit'N Image with you pry it from more cold, dead, fingers.

Good Fishing

Edit: I forgot - about two months ago I had an EPIC top-water day with this lure also. Three 24" trout, in a row (if I recall correctly, all from same 2-square acre spot). They would hit other stuff that day but, well, I wasn't experimenting much on that trip. Three, two-footers, in one day, is a personal best for me. Other smaller ones too.

Can't go wrong with a Spit'n Image

NY ADK Fisherman : Five Stars

The best top water lure I have used. My personal favorite since it came out in the 1990's!

Luke Coleman : Works

Caught small mouth bass one evening using this. Takes a little practice to get the feel for it. Good quality, action.

Leslieann703 : Four Stars

One of the most lifelike threadfin imitating topwaters on the market.

Daniel W : Five Stars

I actually caught a 3lb large mouth on the second cast!

Luke Coleman : Works

Caught small mouth bass one evening using this. Takes a little practice to get the feel for it. Good quality, action.

John J Skoko : The #1 Go to lure in any tackle box.

Excellent lure for Bass, Northern's & Muskies, a must for every tackle box.

Trying2getalong : 08 This was in about 40-50 casts - NEVER had a day like that in so few casts

I have an original Spit'N Image and rarely used it.
It was an overcast day so I had it in my tackle and tried it.

I caught bass in this order:
3.15, 3.08,3.11 and finally 4.08
This was in about 40-50 casts - NEVER had a day like that in so few casts.
These are had to find but was excited to see them at Amazon!!

Don't work to good on sunny days but overcast or overcast and windy, they work great!!
Haven't had this same success but it still works and have landed bass in the 2-4lb range.

Product exactly as advertised.

I caught a bass soon after using -- and I threw him back.
Good luck in your fishing.

John J. Kluk : Believe the HYPE, if you don't BELIEVE THE PICTURES!!!

These lures are the BEST I've ever used!!! I got one, oh probably 3 yrs ago, and I never used it. This summer I was out late in July (PA), and I was having a slow day (not even a hit) and thought I'm going to try something I never used. So I dug into my tackle box and grabbed this guy. Well about 3 casts later I had a hit, and 2 or 3 after that I caught a 12' bass. Well I was hooked after that. I was out all day, and just before packing it in I tried this guy and got a fish. After that it was on. I started using it much more and started catching a ton of Bass, after it started getting colder I started catching Northern Pike on this guy. When those guys hit it they engulf it. It's CRAZY!!! That is why I'm here. I actually bought 3 of these, 1 in the Threadfin Shad (which is what I have), and 2 in the Gizzard shad. Mine is so beat up it's missing an eye, the paint is all worn off, and it's still crushing pike. I figure I will use the beat up one on Pike, and use the newer ones when the bass are hitting. I added some pics and these are all fish caught on this lure. If you don't have one of these, BUY 2! Because after you start using it, you will be glad you did. You'll have a spare for when the fish abuse it, or if you lose one in a tree (you all know how that goes). By the way, I'm not complaining about the lure being beat up. FAR FROM IT. It was actually very well made, and the bass barely put a dent in it, but I've not gotten so many pike that it's just beat up. If you never caught a Northern Pike they are VERY AGGRESSIVE. These fish come completely out of the water (full body) to attack this guy. I don't know how many times I've jumped when they crush this lure. The spit n image at this point is my ALL TIME favorite lure AND I ONLY STARTED USING IT!!!! IT'S CRAZY!!! Guys believe the hype on this lure, believe the reviews and if you don't believe those, look at the pics and you WILL BE A BELIEVER.

AFG : My favorite go-to topwater plug!

I’ve landed several bucket mouths over 5 pounds on this lure. It’s a great topwater collection lure.
