A concave metal device, often with a reflective surface, designed to mimic the movement and flash of baitfish in the water. Anglers attach these implements to their fishing line, casting and retrieving them to attract predatory species. The undulating action and light reflection are key characteristics.
The effectiveness of this particular type of attractor lies in its ability to trigger a predatory response. The erratic movement and glinting surface simulates an injured or fleeing prey, which can entice fish to strike. Historically, such attractors have been valued for their simplicity, durability, and versatility across various fishing conditions. Their widespread adoption reflects their proven track record in attracting a diverse range of species.
