Quick take
A 1/4 oz hex-bladed swim jig with a 5/0 needle point hook that combines vibration and flash across the water column.
This is a 1/4 oz bladed swim jig from Z-Man in a green pumpkin and black pattern. A hex-shaped blade up front gives it flash and vibration, and a needle point hook rides behind it. Anglers working bass and panfish water can reel it steadily at different speeds to cover a range of depths.
Best for
- Shallow to mid-depth structure for bass
- Panfish in weedy areas
Skip if
- You fish heavy cover where the blade catches weeds
- You need a lure that tracks straight at high speed
Strengths
- Hex-shaped blade produces unique vibration pattern
- Jig head allows vertical fishing or steady retrieve
- Light weight lets the jig sink slowly, working the entire column
Trade-offs
- The blade catches weeds and brush easily
- Green pumpkin/black can be too dark in stained water
- Hex blade is proprietary and limits trailer compatibility

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.
