Quick take

A rotating bait-holding plug with split cavity for fresh or cut bait, rigged for trolling, casting, or plunking.

A 4-inch Hot Melon bait-holding plug that comes as a pair, unrigged, with scent pads and rubber bands. Load the split cavity with a fillet or cut bait and run it trolling, casting or back bouncing. Anglers working for salmon, trout and walleye will find it a natural fit.

Best for

  • Salmon and steelhead on trolling lines
  • Back-bouncing cut bait in rivers
  • Walleye on bottom rigs

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.
