Quick take
A pre-rigged trolling lure with brass blade and leader for salmon and steelhead in fresh and saltwater.
The Wicked Lures King Killer pairs a number 6 brass blade with a soft plastic squid body and a 2/0 red octopus hook, a rig built for salmon, steelhead, trout and walleye. A six-foot pre-tied leader comes with it, and the lure can be cast, trolled, bounced off the bottom or run behind a diving planer. It suits anglers who want one spinner-style rig that moves across several species and presentations, with bass also on its target list.

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.
