Artificial Lure

A wire-framed lure with spinning blades and a skirted jig body — a staple freshwater search bait for covering water and finding active fish.

Beginner tip: Its wire arm makes it naturally weedless — a good choice for fishing tight to cover without snagging constantly.

Where it's used
Freshwater lakes and slow rivers, especially around vegetation and laydowns.
How to rig or present it
Cast past cover and retrieve at a steady pace, slow-rolling it deeper or burning it just under the surface.
Common targets
Largemouth Bass, Chain Pickerel
