A 4 inch fat-belly sea shad with paddle tail and salt impregnation, suited for inshore saltwater redfish and trout.
This 4-inch soft swimbait pairs Bass Assassin's fat-bellied shad profile with a paddle tail that gives it a steady swimming kick. It is aimed at inshore saltwater anglers chasing redfish, speckled trout and snook. Rig it on a jig head or fish it natural on a plain hook.

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.
