Quick take
Small wedge-head jigs with hand-tied natural tails that mimic young shad for trolling, jigging and casting in freshwater.
A twelve-pack of shad darts in assorted colors, each 1/8 ounce, so you can change patterns without restocking. The wedge head and natural tail suit light jigging, trolling and casting for trout, bass, crappie, walleye and panfish. The mixed colors make it easy to try different looks on the water.

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.
