A curved metal blade that wobbles and flashes as it's retrieved or jigged, mimicking a wounded baitfish. Simple, durable, and castable in wind — one of the oldest lure designs still in every tackle box.

Technique tips
- Vary retrieve speed until you find the wobble the fish want that day.
- Let it flutter on a pause — the erratic fall often triggers the strike.
- Upsize in stained water so the flash reads through the murk.
