Quick take
A butterfly jigging jig with asymmetric 3-D design and center balance, rigged to remain in the strike zone longer through wobbling horizontal falls.
This 5 3/4 inch green and silver Shimano butterfly jig weighs about 5.9 ounces and carries a #7/0 spear point hook. Its asymmetric three-dimensional body and half-mirror finish suit vertical jigging from a drifting boat, where the flash on the fall and the retrieve does the work.

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.
