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 bottom attractor designed to draw flatfish in and keep them interested long enough to find your bait.

Stirs Up the Bottom, Draws in Flatfish

The spoon's distinctive shape kicks up sand and silt as you retrieve or twitch it across the seabed, mimicking the feeding disturbance that naturally attracts plaice, flounder, dab, sole, and turbot. This visual trigger gives your bait a significant edge over a plain running rig, especially in areas with moderate current or tidal movement.

Works Across North Sea, Baltic, and Scandinavian Waters

Because the Flatty Teaser Buttlöffel is made from lead-free material, it complies with the fishing regulations now in force across Scandinavia. You can fish it confidently at home on the North Sea or Baltic coast and take the same rig on a trip to Norway, Sweden, Finland, or Iceland without switching tackle.

Choose the Right Variant

The matrix covers a wide weight range and multiple colour options across all variants. As a general rule: go as light as possible while still maintaining bottom contact — a sinker that drifts off the seabed loses its sand-stirring effect. For colour, choose bright, high-contrast tones in turbid or coloured water and more subdued shades in clear conditions.

• Light weights (20 g, 40 g) — calm, shallow inshore marks; estuaries; low-current conditions; plaice, flounder, dab

• Mid weights (60 g, 80 g) — standard beach or boat fishing; moderate tidal runs; general flatfish fishing

• Heavy weights (100 g, 120 g, 150 g) — strong tidal currents; deeper water; boat fishing; ensuring consistent bottom contact

• Lead-free variants (Material = lead-free) — required for fishing in Scandinavia and wherever lead bans apply; this listing (198448) is a lead-free sinker variant

• Spoon-shaped variants (Shape = Spoon) — optimised sand-kicking action; recommended for sandy and mixed-ground flatfish marks
