Quick take
A 2.5-inch paddle-tail jig with a holographic body that mimics a live minnow, sized for finesse presentations in 1/4-ounce and 2-pack.
This 1/4 oz swimbait jig has a paddle tail and a holographic shad body, and it comes two to a pack in a silver shiner finish. It is set up for anglers after crappie, walleye, bass, trout and pike, and it can be cast, jigged vertically or worked slowly along the bottom. Reach for it on panfish and walleye days when a small, lifelike minnow profile is the goal.
Best for
- Light-line jigging in clear water

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.
