Quick take

A 1/2 oz Strike King spinnerbait in the Sexy Shad pattern, built with a painted willow and willow blade pair and a weight-forward head. It has a Gamakatsu hook and a skirt with magic tails. A heavier option for bass anglers who want a shad-colored bladed bait to cast and retrieve through cover.

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.
