Quick take
A tour-grade swim jig with streamlined head and perfectly matched skirt for active bottom fishing.
A 3/8 oz swim jig in the Bluegill pattern, built around a streamlined, balanced head that tracks well on a steady retrieve. It carries a coordinating skirt and a medium-wire sharp hook with a light weed guard, so it can be worked through sparse cover. A good pick for anglers who want a swimming jig for bass around grass and wood.

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.
