product description
The Heddon Zara Puppy is a downsized version of the classic Zara Spook topwater walking lure. Despite hundreds of attempts to replicate it, the Zara Spook remains as the true king of topwaters, and the Zara Puppy is the only one that can maintain its amazing legacy in a downsized version. This 3 inch and 1/4 ounce bait produces a side-to-side, "walk-the-dog" action on retrieve that entices big fish, including bass, redfish, trout, pike, and striper to make aggressive surface strikes. And with pre-rigged with #6 treble hooks, a strong hooksets are practically a guarantee. Order the Heddon Zara Puppy today and find out why it has been the one true go-to lure for fishermen across generations on your next outing!

Questions about Heddon Zara Spook Topwater Fishing Lure - Legendary Walk-The-Dog Lure
Q:

Answer: 1/4 oz
Answer: Hello,
Answer: Yes it is
Q:
why are these thing so much? Can get them at cabelas and bass pro for 6.99 why the price gouge?
Q:
Is there supposed to be an empty little hole right on the nose of it?
Answer: Hi Brad,
Answer: Are you talking about the ring that you tie your line onto? or is it missing so that you can see into the body of the lure through the hole?
Answer: Yes, many years ago these had a nose line tie. All the guys back in the day that fished these loved the line tie at the nose. Heddon changed it to the chin for more roll and action. I believe a huge group of guys basically petitioned to have the line tie back at the nose. So in compromise they put the hole at the nose so people could change it to the nose if they felt the need to.
Answer: Don’t no
Answer: yes
Q:
Do they have saltwater hooks?
Answer: Have never used in saltwater. I would change the hooks and give it a go... I have lots of good hookups with the Zara Spooks of various sizes!
Answer: No. Just change the hooks and have excellent lure
Answer: Hello,
Answer: No. These are made for freshwater applications. Some of the larger models do come with saltwater hooks.
Q:
Is this one lure or is this a 4 pack ?
Q:
How many ounces is this lure?
Answer: I think 2-3 ounces but it is much larger than my son expected
Answer: My Zara Spook weighs 0.65 ounces.
Q:
for 1?
Q:
What size treble hooks are used on this lure? I'd like to make sure before I order replacements off Amazon.
Answer: #1's. I'm kinda flexible about hooks on lures myself. a size one way or the other. I sorta use what is handily available and have found they work just fine.
Answer: These are 1/0 Treble hooks, Black Fly has a cool Topwater kit
Answer: Hello,
Answer: I don’t know the exact size but there about as big as a 2.5 crankbait
Q:

Answer: Have never used in saltwater. I would change the hooks and give it a go... I have lots of good hookups with the Zara Spooks of various sizes!
Answer: No. Just change the hooks and have excellent lure
Answer: Hello,
Answer: No. These are made for freshwater applications. Some of the larger models do come with saltwater hooks.
Q:
what size are the treble hooks on this lure
Q:
What lengths does it come in?
Q:
Do you have this in a 7" lure?
Q:
Does the Zara Puppy have a knocker (for sound)? Mine appears to have a ball in the rear that is not mobile
Answer: It does have a small ball in the tail of the bait but it's for weight and helps facilate the walking motion you will impart on the spook when you fish it. They make spook juniors that have a ball for the knocking you speak of and are called one knockers. I have those also and they are a blast to fish. Top water all day everyday if I could and sometimes have. Get some dude, I don't think you will regret it. Good luck.
Answer: Yes. There is ball bearings inside for sound
Q:
Is this a pack of 4?
Q:
can i use this on saltwater?
Answer: I don't see why not. I guess it depends on what type of fish you are fishing for since this is a topwater lure it would only be good for fish that feed up there. I can tell you it works great for freshwater bass and other species that like a topwater bite
Q:
Anyone know if they make the soft versions anywhere anymore???
Answer: Nope. But the sprinkler teckel frog will satisfy those needs I would think
Q:
What is the length of the lure?
Answer: approx 2 1/2 inches maybe 3 inches (at least from not looking at it right now)
Answer: 3 inches long and 1/2 inch dia.
Product reviews of Heddon Zara Spook Topwater Fishing Lure - Legendary Walk-The-Dog Lure
Michael James Gilbert : Everything went as planned
Nice action paired with co polymer or large diameter mono. So far I haven't had any explosions on it but the bass have been suckiing it up from behind. Either way works I guess.
Christopher O'Brien : Bone Colored Zara Spook
Good product . Proven fish catcher. Bone color is popular locally.
Changed out the hooks
Amazon Customer : High quality
Great
Madlien : The Bass in our pond hit this lure like crazy. Highly recommend all of the Heddon products.
The LM Bass hit this lure like crazy in our pond. So did the Stripers. Highly recommend all Heddon products.
Amazon Customer : Quality product!!
My nephew loved this Christmas gift!!
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
The flash bass kicks ass
CDP's Onceagain habit of purchasing : Heddon Zara Puppy Lure
Heddon Zara Puppy Lure
Heddon lures have been in my family since I was a kid in the late 50's and sixties. I remember my older brother and I sneaking up on a pond in Oklahoma near Stroud, to get ready for a dawn day of fishing and he got there first with a lucky 13, big and loud plop and the 3-4 lb. large mouth bass he hooked into and landed. Biggest bass I had ever seen up close and for most of my youth. We had them at Boy Scout Camp near Cleveland and the Ark River, where you never knew what would bite in that water. This little lure catches fish. I like it for four stars.
Ron Hoskins : Very good quality lure for bass fishing.
Thes are great top water baits, I’ve been using thes for years. Just needed to restock.
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
The flash bass kicks ass
robert d lewis : top of the line bait lure
wath can i say about this lure.that has already been said bafore.juat learn how to walk the dog.and make it look real.top water lures can be the best at times.this is wath makes bass fishing so great.but you can catch alot of other fish to.take home and eat.it a geat world out for us.go out there and get with it.there is alot of fun.great times to remenber.lord gave us this world.lets use it.
Thomas : A great topwatwater classic
Have yet to catch anything on it, but has the great s action
Todd Kruse : Five Stars
nice action
Richard Stanton : The classic- solid build.
The finish is outstanding in detail and fairly durable. I fished it in a canal and beat it against the rocks quite a bit and still looks good as new. The "walk the dog" action is easy and alluring, yet it can be presented in several ways- so it gets used over other plugs because it's versatile.
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
The flash bass kicks ass
greenemann : Casts like a bullet
Casts like a bullet. Action is typical of its bigger brothers. Fish love it. The hooks are worthless garbage. Change them out before you risk losing good fish.
Amazon Customer : Best topwater lure out there
I love the zara puppy. It’s the best topwater lure out there. It will catch anything in salt of fresh water.
the stoper : 3inch wall the dog
What can you say about it ! Pretty cut and dry ! Wish they made one just a little smaller ? But this thing is only like 3inches so it’s pretty small and does walk the dog pretty good
mason bowman : Will get you that monster fish on the early morning bite
The exact lure I used to use as a kid. Perfect action, sturdy sharp hooks, and a great weight to get great casts.
j.a.c : Catches fish but twists line.
Catches largemouth bass well but twists line during retrieve. After a hundred casts or so my line was ruined.
Elly Hope : Great lure. Catches fish.
Great plug. I've caught alot of bass with it.

Robert Bethurem Jr : American lure made in China. Sad.
I have been a fan of Heddon lures since the 1950s and quality is still good. I always considered Heddon a Great American Company. However I am a bit disappointed that this great American lure is actually made in China. Let’s see if it catches fish in American lakes and streams. Lol.

T. Heunaosoa : Hook size
I think the hook size, for me, was too big and trouble some. It will be changed to a smaller size treble hook.
generalrainman : Glitter falls off of flitter shad, but works great
Massive lure, but that's advertised. Walks the dog great, flitter shad is cool besides the glitter falling off. Some sort of coating should probably be used to keep that from happening. Otherwise, very serviceable.
Dr. J. Sutherland : Broke first time I used it
Used it for the first time today. It caught fish. However the fish would bend the hooks and I would have to bend them back. Then a fish spit it while close to the boat, the lure hit the side of the boat and broke in two. The fish were 20"-26" striped bass and it was cold out about 35 degrees but I expected better.

Henry H. Chin : Awesome classic
This is a classic bait! Had one many years ago when I was a kid! Looking forward to catching a lot of fish on this!
Chuck Wisniewski : Great memories, Great lure
Caught my first Muskie on this.
Great memories, Great lure.
Would buy again.
Thank you
T. Exner : Spook
Love the action

Haven't hooked a fish yet but I ain't givin up
Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Thomas : A great topwatwater classic

Fred : I like if
I like it
Ed Campbell : Good top water bait
Haven't hooked a fish yet but I ain't givin up
Kyle N. : Very misleading
Very misleading pictures and description. Received only 1 when expecting 4. Will be returning for full refund.
T : FINE
FINE
Larry : Change the treble hooks
Great lure, great pattern, terrible small hooks.
Jeff : Great product
Definitely recommend this company
mark gilkeson : Crooks
One lure, not four. Twice the price for a single lure, look somewhere else. Crooks
Amazon Customer : Great item well worth the money!
Great fishing lure, got it for a good price and it has performed exceptionally well!!!!
Bailey : Good bait
Got exactly what I wanted. Also has very sharp hooks.
David C. : This lure is great.
I've had birds see them and they think it's injured fish and try to grab them. If fish are hungry they will try to eat this lure provided there is a top water bite. The rush you get when a decent Bass blows up on this lure is great, it makes me smile from ear to ear.
Dr. J. Sutherland : Broke first time I used it
Used it for the first time today. It caught fish. However the fish would bend the hooks and I would have to bend them back. Then a fish spit it while close to the boat, the lure hit the side of the boat and broke in two. The fish were 20"-26" striped bass and it was cold out about 35 degrees but I expected better.

devin : Good action. Weak hooks.
Love the action. Not a fan of the hooks. Have lost multiple nice bass due to the hooks straightening.
Bikerdave97 : Classic lure that Works
This is an old design that just keeps on working and catching fish. There are many imitators out there but these models by Heddon are the originals and they work great.
al : Four Stars
love this bait, but hooks could be better
Amazon Customer : mislead
