Quick take
An eight-inch umbrella rig with four blades and five arms to rig soft plastic baits, designed for school forage patterns.
This is an Alabama-style umbrella rig built to run several soft baits at once and mimic a small school of baitfish. It measures 8 inches and weighs half an ounce, which suits anglers who want a compact rig for bass. Add your own trailers and work it through open water where bass chase shad.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
