Quick take
An 8-inch glow-white flasher that simulates wounded baitfish and trolls ahead of lures.
This large flasher in a green haze UV pattern pairs a green body with a UV finish, which reflects more ultraviolet light so fish can pick it out at a distance. It is built to flash and vibrate ahead of bait for salmon and trout, and its plastic body keeps the setup simple. Choose it for trolling salmon or trout in bright water when a UV finish is the look you want.

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.
