A compact, metal slab-style bait, often featuring a shimmering finish, is designed to mimic the flash and profile of baitfish. Its primary purpose is to attract predatory fish in a variety of water conditions. Anglers employ it by jigging vertically, casting and retrieving, or trolling, adapting the presentation to match the behavior of the target species and the prevailing aquatic environment.
Its effectiveness stems from its ability to generate vibration and visual appeal, enticing strikes even in murky or deep water. This type of lure has gained popularity among anglers targeting species such as bass, walleye, and crappie due to its versatility and ability to trigger aggressive feeding responses. Originally conceived as a simple yet effective solution for specific fishing scenarios, its design has evolved to incorporate modern materials and refined action characteristics.
