A 1/2 oz topwater lure with three line-tie holes for adjustable depth and action, including jigging options.
The Heddon Rattling Sonar Flash is a 2 3/8 inch, 1/2 ounce blade bait with a built-in rattle. Its three line-tie holes let an angler change how it runs, with the front hole for shallower casts, the middle hole for vertical jigging and the rear hole for deeper water. It is aimed at anglers who fish for bass, striped bass, crappie, walleye and northern pike and want one lure that covers several presentations.

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.
