Quick take
A 1/16 oz teardrop spinner with dressed hackle that mimics flies and terrestrial insects for trout and panfish.
This is a size 6 Panther Martin Dressed teardrop spinner in a Gold/Black Fly pattern, weighing 1/4 oz. The extra weight gives longer casts and reaches deeper water in lakes and larger rivers, where trout and bass are the usual targets. It carries a treble hook and a dressed tail for a fly-like look.

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.
