Quick take
A 71mm vertical jig blade with recessed surfaces that flashes at different strengths during the fall.
The Jackson Metal Effect Blade is a 40 g metal jig about 2.8 inches long, with a rear blade that adds a second flash. It carries a single hook rather than a treble and is meant mainly for horizontal retrieves aimed at fast-swimming pelagic fish like mackerel. Pick it when you want a compact, heavy casting jig for fast, long-distance retrieves.
Best for
- Vertical jigging in deep water
- Fast-dropping presentations

Skip if
- You prefer slower falls; use heavier soft plastics
- You fish shallow reefs; compact shads work better
Strengths
- Asymmetric edges create contrasting flashing patterns
- Recessed surfaces concentrate light at high speeds
- Single hook design reduces snagging
Trade-offs
- At 40g it limits use on ultralight gear
- Vertical jigging requires precise boat positioning

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.
