Quick take
A 5-inch saltwater topwater with a slanted head and magnetic weight system that casts far and darts side to side.
The Mag Darter in Bone is a 5-inch floating diver that runs roughly 2 to 3 feet deep. A magnetic weight moves to the tail during the cast for straight flight, and the slanted face produces a rolling, darting action on the retrieve. It carries treble hooks on a one-piece body, suited to casting along shorelines and structure.
Best for
- Saltwater flats and shallow bays
- Casting for tarpon and permit
- Anglers who need distance and dart action
Skip if
- You fish freshwater
- You want a walking bait instead
Strengths
- Magnetic weight transfer moves to the nose on cast for distance
- Slanted head creates unique darting action
- Polycarbonate body is tough and durable
Trade-offs
- 5 inches is large and hard to cast in wind
- Darting action takes skill to work correctly
- Saltwater use means regular rinsing is needed

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.
