Quick take
Hoochie skirt lure with hammered blade and silicone skirt, designed to imitate small squids for salmon, steelhead and pike.
The Panther Martin Hammered Hoochie Skirt in a 1/2 oz size comes in a yellow and pink finish with a UV paint job. It is built to imitate a small squid, with a skirt that moves through the water behind a hammered blade. Anglers chasing salmon, steelhead, pike or muskie can pick it for its single treble hook and that blade.

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.
