  2. Braided or fused superlines work well with this lure.
  3. This lure is characterized by its slow wobble. A slight increase in speed gives it a frantic action.
  4. This lure shares its name with an eating utensil. Popular makes include the Hopkins, Swedish Pimple, Gibbs Minnow, Zzinger, and Crippled Herring.

  7. These can represent any minnow, nymph, or crayfish that fish are feeding on.
