Quick take
A one-ounce zinc alloy blade bait with offset fins that spiral downward, mimicking a dying baitfish.
This 1 oz Blitz Blade in a Red/White finish is 3 1/4 inches long and made from zinc, a metal lighter than lead at the same size. The offset head fins make it spiral on the way down after a cast or a drop, and VMC hooks and adjustable attachment points come with it. A hole between the hooks lets you add a spinner for a different look.
Best for
- Vertical jigging and drop-offs for pike and musky
- Saltwater striped bass fishing
- Open water and deep structure fishing
Skip if
- You need a casting-retrieve blade bait
- You fish ultra-shallow water
Strengths
- Zinc construction is lighter than lead for more realistic fall
- Offset fins create attractive spiral motion on the drop
- Environmentally safer material choice over lead
Trade-offs
- Zinc may not have the long-term durability of lead
- One-ounce weight is standard; limited size range
- Requires vertical jigging technique; not for casting

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.
