Quick take
A forged jig head with neon UV eyes for vertical jigging and casting panfish, bass and walleye.
The 1/8 ounce Neon Moon Eye jig in Green Fire UV pairs a light lure weight with an aspirin-shaped head and a three-dimensional holographic eye. Its size 1/0 hook and UV bright finish suit finesse presentations for panfish, trout and walleye. Anglers who want a light, bright jig for open water or through the ice will find it fits that job.

Strengths

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.
