Spro Rat Swimbait

The lure is designed for a steady retrieve that allows the square-bill head to create a consistent wake. You can also incorporate short, rhythmic twitches of the rod tip to enhance the 'walk-the-dog' motion, which mimics a struggling rodent on the surface.

While the lure is highly effective in shallow water, it features exposed treble hooks, so it is best used in open water or along the edges of grass lines rather than punching through thick, matted vegetation.

The TPE tail is designed to be soft and flexible for lifelike movement, which makes it susceptible to wear from aggressive strikes or toothy fish. It is a consumable part of the lure, and you should check it periodically for tears after a successful day on the water.

Because this is a topwater lure that requires solid hook-sets, a medium-heavy or heavy power rod with a moderate-fast action is ideal. Pair it with a braided line to ensure zero stretch, which helps you drive the sharp treble hooks home during explosive surface strikes.

Yes, the multi-composite material provides a wood-like density that helps the lure sit naturally on the surface. This construction gives it a balanced, stable profile that resists rolling over, even when retrieved at varying speeds.
