Quick take
A 3/8 oz made-in-the-USA swim jig designed to slip through weeds and skip under docks with aggressive strikes.
The Blitz SJ-1 swim jig is built for anglers who fish through weeds, docks and wood. Its weedless design, with a weed guard and a tapered head, lets it slip through cover, and this size carries a 4/0 hook. A forward line tie shapes its swimming action, so it can be skipped under docks and fished through shallow 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.
