The SputterBird
![]() This "SputterBird" gets its name from the huge water spray and noise it generates when trolled from an outrigger, from your rod directly, or pulled by a cleated line from one of your transom corners. The Counter rotating blades connect with flexible joint in the middle allows movement sideways along with the rotatation, creating a remarkable amount of water disturbance which simulates an entire school of bait fish under attack! ![]() Noise generating rattles in both halves produce underwater sound which simulates feeding action, drawing game fish from long distances to investigate the source of this commotion.
Use heavy line (80-200#) as the "SputterBird" keeps the line totally out of the water - visibility is not an issue. ![]() Bright, fluorescent colors make it very visible in the water, and the hollow body keeps it afloat even in big waves. If you are using it as a “bird” attractor, you can pull your favorite lure (or rigged bait) 6-10 feet behind it. A hookless lure can also be used as a pure attractor. Speed can be varied from 3-12 knots to get the desired action. Bigger lures provide better stability in bigger waves.
