The SPRO Baby Rat 30 is a rat-style hard topwater lure with a compact 84 mm body (without the tail) weighing 16 g, designed to trigger strikes from predatory fish in calm or shallow water, particularly pike and largemouth bass.
The Baby Rat 30 from SPRO is an original small topwater lure that imitates a young rat swimming at the surface—a prey animal that large predatory fish won’t hesitate to strike. Its body measures approximately 84 mm without the tail, giving it a compact yet substantial profile that appeals to both pike and big bass.
At 16g, it casts easily over a good distance and remains very stable during the retrieve. This floating lure is ideal for fishing at or just below the surface, over weed beds, submerged branches, or along the shoreline.
The Baby Rat 30 works well with a slow, steady retrieve, a stop-and-go retrieve, or short rod-tip twitches to create a wobbly, enticing swimming action, just like a small prey animal struggling at the surface.
