Quick take
A 2.5 in hard swimbait with 6 jointed segments that create realistic bluegill-style swimming action.
A jointed hard swimbait shaped like a bluegill, finished in Blue Fish. Its segmented body gives a side-to-side swimming motion, and it fits anglers working for 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 prefer single-segment swimbaits
Strengths
- 6 segments create independent side-to-side swimming motion

- Realistic 3D laser eyes and textured fins add detail
Trade-offs

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.
