Quick take
A compact 0.5 oz variable blade lure with a built-in rattle for vertical jigging and active retrieves.
The Blue Ghost finish of this 6 cm, 14-gram blade jig gives a different look from the silver version and carries the same built-in rattle. Anglers who fish blades vertically from the bottom can pick it for its color when they want a second option in the same size.

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.
