Quick take
A 3.125 in perfectly balanced suspending jerkbait with rattle chamber, effective cast or trolled at any speed.
The Rapala Husky Jerk 08 in Yellow Perch is a 3.125-inch suspending jerkbait built for anglers working the top 4 to 6 feet of water. Its suspending balance lets it hold depth during pauses in the retrieve, and a rattle chamber adds sound to the action. It comes with two No. 6 treble hooks and weighs a quarter ounce.

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.
