Spybait lures are minimal contact lures known for their subtle rolling shimmy lure action that can produce some slight flash from the lure action itself. Some suggest the propellers mostly assist in the lure action while some suggest the propellers provide subtle vibrations and tiny flashes observable in sunny and calm conditions in high lure visibility scenarios. Spybait Lures are also known for their shimmy while falling on the slack line with a slow sink rate and their ability to fished relatively slowly. Some describe it as the horizontal wacky rig.
