Quick take
A 1/4 oz tear-resistant soft bait lure designed for redfish and trout in saltwater.
This 1/4 oz saltwater spinnerbait pairs a 24k gold-plated #4 Colorado blade with a tear-resistant Glass Minnow soft body, so one bait gives both flash and a soft-bodied profile. The jig head has chip-resistant paint and 3D eyes, and the hook is an oversized black nickel needlepoint, a combination built for redfish and trout over shallow flats. The gold-plated stainless wire holds the blade and body together in one piece.
Best for
- Redfish in shallow grass flats
- Sea trout in brackish estuaries
- Sight-casting to cruising redfish
Skip if
- You need a lure for deep water structures; use heavier offerings
- You fish rocky or shell-laden bottoms where snagging is likely
Strengths
- Tear-resistant plastic withstands repeated strikes and retrieves
- Realistic soft plastic body triggers natural feeding response
- Compact 1/4 oz size suits flats and shallow water
Trade-offs
- Soft plastic is fragile against sharp shells and rocks
- Limited casting distance due to light weight
- Requires frequent replacement after fish strikes and snags

Common questions
What does the Strike King Redfish Magic Saltwater SB 1/4 oz weigh?
The 1/4 oz version of the Redfish Magic Saltwater spinnerbait is rated at a quarter ounce. That puts it in the light-to-medium range for shallow saltwater work, where the 24k gold-plated #4 Colorado blade and the Glass Minnow body both travel above the jig head on each retrieve.
What hook does the Redfish Magic Saltwater SB use?
The Redfish Magic Saltwater SB uses an oversized saltwater black nickel needlepoint hook on its jig head. The head itself has chip-resistant paint and 3D eyes, so the hook and head are both built for saltwater use rather than freshwater bass fishing.
What blade does the Redfish Magic 1/4 oz spinnerbait have?
The 1/4 oz Redfish Magic spinnerbait carries a 24k gold-plated #4 Colorado blade on heavy-gauge gold-plated stainless steel wire with an R bend. The gold finish matches the gold of the blade and the chip-resistant head paint, giving the bait one consistent gold color in shallow water.
What soft body comes with the Redfish Magic Saltwater SB?
The Redfish Magic Saltwater SB comes with a Glass Minnow soft body made from a tear-resistant thermoplastic. It is a paddle-tail style body, and the material is sold as more durable than a standard soft plastic, so it holds up better to repeated redfish and trout strikes.

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.
