The 1/4 oz Storm 360GT Searchbait jig in Smelt carries a rattling, life-like head with a single-ball rattle and 3D holographic eyes for anglers working search baits. Its extended 60-degree line tie helps the bait hold a rolling swimming action on the retrieve. The head is built to match the 360GT body, so it gives the lure its full profile when rigged.
