A 3/8 oz bladed jig in Candy Craw, built around a hex-shaped blade that throws vibration and flash through stained water and heavy cover. It carries a 5/0 needlepoint hook and a molded keeper for a soft plastic trailer. Bass anglers can swim it at different speeds to work shallow or deeper water.

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.
