The Big O was Cotton Cordell’s first “million-seller,” the first square-lip crankbait ever created. This proven lure still catches plenty of big bass. The buoyant body and cover-deflecting ability is unmatched by other square lips. Three sizes are available (2-, 2½- and 3-inches) in a variety of fish-catching color patterns. The Big O started the square lip crankbait craze, and it’s still leading the charge.

The feature setting these models apart from other Zaras is their super stout hardware system, from line ties to hooks, all designed to stand up to the most voracious species. The 5-inch Super Spook boasts three super-sharp hooks giving this model 30% more hooking power, especially important for schooling stripers and other hard charging species.
