Quick take
A 1/16 oz crappie jig head with dancing action from its pill-shaped design.
A 1/16 oz pill-shaped jig head in white, made for crappie. The head is molded with a vertical line tie, so it suits jigging and hopping soft plastics through brush and timber. A wire keeper holds the body in place and a sickle hook does the work at the strike.

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.
