Quick take
A 3/8 oz bladed jig with clear polycarbonate blade and hand-tied silicone skirt, designed for finesse bass fishing in clear water.
The Z-Man JackHammer StealthBlade is a 3/8 oz bladed jig in Clearwater Shad, made for bass anglers who want a chatterbait's thump with a subtler look. Its clear polycarbonate blade gives a slightly tighter, higher-pitched vibration, and the oval split-ring line tie leaves less surface area to catch weeds and cover. A fluorine-coated hook on a lighter wire lets it be cast on slightly lighter line.

Strengths

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.
