Quick take
A 1/4 oz inshore bladed jig with heavy-duty 4/0 hook and molded trailer keeper that handles strikes from large saltwater fish.
This 1/4 oz bladed jig for inshore saltwater pairs a 4/0 custom hook with a four-inch DieZel MinnowZ paddle-tail trailer. The redbone gold and chartreuse color is aimed at anglers pursuing redfish, snook, flounder and striped bass. Its stainless bait keeper keeps the trailer secure on each cast.

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.
