# 7 - HEDDON ZARA SPOOK

Charlie Campbell made this lure popular 30 years ago. It became the gold standard for catching huge fish on top water. You need to learn to fish the lure… you must fish with a rod that will allow you to “walk the dog”. Most beginners will need to use a 6’ or 6-1/2’ medium action rod. Cast the lure, let the ripples die and then begin short twitches to make the lure walk side to side. Pause the action and find the cadence that the fish want. As you get good with this action, you will find that you can vary the length/timing of the jerks so that you can actually walk the lure sideways. It was said that Charlie could walk the dog all the way around a cedar tree – and he could!
