Quick take
Small metal jigs with holographic paint and 3D eyes, sized for vertical and casting jigging in fresh and saltwater.
This five-piece set of 3/8 oz metal jigging spoons carries a size 8 hook on each lure, dressed with feathers. The slim body is shaped for long casts and an erratic flutter when jigged or ripped back through the water. Anglers can throw it for bass, walleye, pike, catfish and striped bass, and along the coast for snook.

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.
