Zebco Flatty Teaser Buttlöffel Sinker

Zebco Flatty Teaser Buttlöffel Sinker — Lead-Free Flatfish Attractor

The Zebco Flatty Teaser Buttlöffel (spoon sinker) is a proven lead-free attractor rig for flatfish, designed to raise puffs of sand from the seabed and draw curious fish straight to your bait.

Effective Flatfish Attraction Right on the Bottom

The spoon-shaped body kicks up sand and silt as you retrieve or twitch it along the seabed, mimicking the disturbance that feeding flatfish recognise instantly. Tie your mainline to one end, attach a long-shank hook trace to the other, and you have a simple, reliable bottom rig ready to go. A long-shank hook — such as a flatfish (butt) hook or an eel hook — is recommended because flatfish have a relatively narrow mouth.

Lead-Free and Approved for Scandinavian Waters

Cast in a lead-free material, the Flatty Teaser Sinker complies with lead bans in force across Scandinavia, making it a go-to choice for anglers fishing Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland, as well as coastal venues in the North Sea and Baltic. Suitable baits include lugworm, ragworm, fish strip, crab, and mussel.

Choose the Right Variant

The Zebco Flatty Teaser Buttlöffel is available in a wide range of weights and colours. As a general rule, go as light as possible while maintaining consistent bottom contact — too light and the sinker drifts; too heavy and you lose the natural action. For colour, bright patterns work well in coloured or turbid water, while natural, subtle tones suit clear conditions.
