Mouse-shaped lures are designed to mimic mice or other small mammals, which can be highly attractive to predatory fish. The realistic design, with details like tails and ears, increases the visual appeal for fish.

These lures are made to move in a way similar to a swimming or fleeing mouse, creating dynamic and erratic motion in the water. This type of action can trigger the hunting instinct in predatory fish, leading to more aggressive strikes.

Mouse-shaped lures can be used for various fishing techniques, such as surface fishing or near the bottom. This versatility allows anglers to explore different areas and attract a variety of fish.
