Quick take

A 2.5 in hard swimbait with 6 jointed segments that create realistic bluegill-style swimming action.

A 2.5-inch jointed hard swimbait with a bluegill profile, shown here in Yellow Mackerel. Its segmented body swims side to side, so it appeals to anglers targeting trout, bass, striped bass, pike and musky.

Best for

  • Topwater casting in 1-5 ft water
  • Bass that hunt bluegill
  • Saltwater striper and pike

Skip if

  • You fish very deep water
  • You prefer single-segment swimbaits

Strengths

  • 6 segments create independent side-to-side swimming motion
  • Hard plastic is durable for repeated strikes
  • Realistic 3D laser eyes and textured fins add detail

Trade-offs

  • Hard plastic joints can wear apart from repeated deep strikes
  • Topwater retrieve requires active work to keep it on the surface
  • Multi-segment design collects weed in vegetation

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
