Heddon X9236ST Super Spook Jr.
The Heddon Super Spook Jr. is one of the most trusted topwater lures for targeting aggressive saltwater gamefish along the Outer Banks. Designed for walk-the-dog presentations, this lure creates an erratic side-to-side surface action that imitates injured baitfish and triggers explosive strikes.
Built with durable construction, realistic finishes, and strong sharp hooks, the Super Spook Jr. performs exceptionally well for anglers targeting speckled trout, red drum, striped bass, bluefish, and other inshore predators. Its compact 3 1/2-inch profile and 1/2-ounce weight allow for long accurate casts while maintaining excellent topwater action.
