Quick take
A brass ice spoon with strategically bent profile and micro flutter blade that creates visual and audible attraction on every twitch and drop.
The Gold 3/16 oz Thumper is a stamped brass flutter spoon for ice anglers after walleye and crappie. Its bends set it fluttering on the fall, and a small kicker-tail blade adds flash and a click as it is worked. Drop it to the depth you want, then lift, snap and pause.

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.
