Quick take
A 1/8 oz saltwater casting swimbait with an under-spin blade and contrasting head-and-tail colors for inshore sight-fishing.
This Strike King saltwater swimbait pairs a soft tail with an under-spin blade that adds flash while you work the bait through the water. It is a casting bait aimed at inshore and brackish water, where trout are a common target. The Watermelon Chartreuse Tail with a red head suits clear or stained water.
Best for
- Clear inshore water for speckled trout and redfish
- Sight-casting to spotted fish in bays and flats
- Anglers who like responsive lures in shallow water
Skip if
- You fish stained or dark water where contrast helps less
- You need a deep-diving profile
Strengths
- Under-spin blade adds flash and vibration without spinners
- Light weight casts easily from flats boats and kayaks
- Contrasting paint makes the lure easy to track
Trade-offs
- 1/8 oz is light and hard to cast in wind
- Saltwater paint can chip with use
- Under-spin blade can snag shallow grass and mangroves

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.
