Quick take
A forged jig head with neon UV eyes for vertical jigging and casting panfish, bass and walleye.
The 3/8 ounce Neon Moon Eye jig in Blue Fire UV carries a three-dimensional holographic eye on an aspirin-shaped head, with a UV bright finish that reflects light underwater. Its size 2/0 hook suits heavier presentations for bass and walleye. Anglers who fish a jig over weeds or along open structure will find the 3/8 ounce weight a fit for that work.
Best for
- Panfish and crappie vertical jigging
- Bass flipping around shallow structure
- Walleye in rivers and lakes
Skip if
- You fish open water without structure
- You need heavier jigs for deep jigging
Strengths
- Neon eyes glow and attract in low-light conditions
- Forged hi-carbon hook suits setting on light line
- Precision head design controls fall rate
Trade-offs
- Light weights limit casting distance in wind
- Smaller sizes suited to panfish, not trophy bass
- Specialty eyes may not suit all scenarios

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.
