Quick take
A trolling lure combining a Smile Blade spinner and Cha Cha float with VMC SpinDrift hook system for walleye.
This Mack's Lure Smile Blade SpinDrift rig is built for walleye trolling, pairing a Smile Blade with a Cha Cha float and a VMC SpinDrift swivel-to-hook setup. Its slow rolling motion comes from that swivel design, which bait usually hides, and the rig runs more compact than a two-hook crawler harness. The blade wobbles at very slow speeds, which suits anglers working walleye at a crawl. The green silver tiger finish and spear-point hook complete a single-hook walleye rig.

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.
