Quick take
Small wedge-head jigs with hand-tied natural tails that mimic young shad for trolling, jigging and casting in freshwater.
A six-pack of wedge-shaped shad darts in red and white, each at 1/16 ounce for light-tackle work. The hand-tied natural tail adds lifelike movement whether you troll, jerk or cast. A good fit for anglers after trout, bass, perch and walleye with small jigs.

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.
