Quick take
Small weedless spoon for trout and panfish with enough weight for moderate casting distance.
This 2-inch, quarter-ounce gold spoon is the classic Johnson minnow shape, with a metal weed guard over the hook so it can be worked through cover. Its gentle side-to-side wobble can be cast, trolled, jigged or twitched along the bottom. It suits anglers who want one simple spoon for many kinds of water.

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.
