Zebco Flatty Teaser Buttlöffel Sinker

Zebco Flatty Teaser Buttlöffel Sinker — Lead-Free Flatfish Attractor

The Zebco Flatty Teaser Buttlöffel is a lead-free spoon-shaped sinker (Sinker) designed specifically for flatfish angling in coastal and Scandinavian waters. Pair it with a long-shank hook and natural bait to tempt plaice, flounder, dab, sole, and turbot.

Lead-Free for Every Shore

Cast from the North Sea, Baltic Sea, or Scandinavian coastlines without worry — the fully lead-free construction meets current environmental regulations, including the lead bans in force in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. You can fish sustainably without adapting your rig.

Proven Flatfish Attraction

The spoon shape disturbs the sandy bottom as you retrieve, kicking up small clouds of sand that mimic feeding activity and draw flatfish in from a distance. Retrieve steadily with occasional pauses, or creep the lure along the bottom with short twitches — either way, the action triggers the natural curiosity of bottom-feeding species. Bait the long-shank hook with ragworm, lugworm, fish strip, crab, or mussel to complete the presentation.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same lead-free spoon design. Select your weight based on current strength, depth, and wind: go as light as possible while maintaining firm bottom contact so the sinker doesn't drift or spin out of control. The matrix covers weights from 20 g to 150 g and a range of colours — bright colours suit turbid water, while natural, subdued tones work better in clear conditions.

• 20 g — calm, shallow estuaries and surf beaches; plaice, flounder, dab in light current

• 40 g — moderate surf and tidal flow; general North Sea and Baltic flatfish fishing

• 60 g — stronger tidal current or slight chop; plaice and flounder at medium range

• 80 g — fast tidal runs, deep gullies; turbot and sole in demanding conditions

• 100 g — heavy current, long casts, deeper water; targeting large turbot and sole

• 120 g — demanding conditions with strong flow or significant depth

• 150 g — extreme current, deep fjords, or when maximum bottom grip is required

• Bright/high-vis colours — turbid or coloured water; North Sea surf conditions

• Natural/subdued colours — clear water; Scandinavian fjords and Baltic bays

• Lead-free variants (Coating=lead-free; Shape=Spoon; Material=lead-free) — confirmed compliant for Scandinavian waters where lead bans apply; includes the current Sinker variant
