Quick take
A one-ounce zinc alloy blade bait with offset fins that spiral downward, mimicking a dying baitfish.
This 1 oz Blitz Blade comes in a Gold Sexy Shad finish and measures 3 1/4 inches long. Its zinc body is lead-free, and the offset fins on each side of the head make it spiral down on the fall, which suits casting and vertical jigging alike. VMC hooks and adjustable attachment points come with it, plus a hole between the hooks for adding a spinner.
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.
