Luhr Jensen K15 Kwikfish Rattle Grinch 5in Lure – Salmon & Lake Trout

Overview

The Luhr-Jensen K15 Kwikfish Rattle Grinch is a 5-inch diving plug lure crafted for salmon, steelhead, and lake trout. Its compact, nimble profile pairs with a pronounced rattle and a distinctive side-to-side motion, creating a visible wake and audible signal as it travels through the water. Anglers often notice how the rattle helps the lure carve a path through current and curious fish respond to the movement and vibration with renewed interest.
