Quick take
The 6-1/2 inch Mag Darter is a floating stickbait that dives and darts when reeled in. Its inverted, cupped lip gives a side-to-side action on a steady retrieve, and at about 2 ounces it suits surf and open-water casting. The Black Purple finish is one of several colors in the line.
Best for
- Jigging and darting retrieves in clear water
- Bass and walleye in lakes and rivers
- Medium to shallow depths
Skip if
- You need a lure that floats at rest
- You want a subtle finesse presentation
Strengths

Trade-offs

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.
