Quick take
This 5-1/4 inch floating minnow lure weighs 5/8 oz and dives to about 3.5 feet before rising back toward the surface when you pause. The Holographic Chartreuse finish adds flash for murky water. It suits a steady retrieve or a twitch-stop-go rhythm for anglers who troll or cast shallow to mid-depth water.
Best for
- Murky water where flash attracts attention
- Shallow-diving structure
- Steady retrieve presentations
Skip if
- You need a subtle, natural lure
- You fish very deep structure
Strengths
- Holographic laser tape finish gives brilliant flash in any light
- Realistic wiggling action works on both steady and stop-and-go retrieves
- 3D oversized eyes catch light and trigger strikes
Trade-offs

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.
