Quick take
A lightweight 1/8 oz jig with holographic eyes and aspirin-shaped head, designed for panfish and trout.
The white 1/8 oz Neon Moon Eye is an aspirin-shaped ultralight jig head with a 3D holographic eye and a high-carbon steel hook. Its UV-bright finish and wide-looking profile suit anglers working walleye, trout and finesse bass, from a boat or from shore. It is also made to rig with a separate trailer hook for anglers who want that option.

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.
