Quick take
Soft shad swimbait sized for inshore saltwater species with lifelike swimming action.
The 4 inch Green Moon Pumpkin Sea Shad is a paddle-tail swimbait aimed at inshore water, with redfish, speckled trout and snook among the species it targets. Its solid shad-style body and paddle tail give it a swimming motion on a jighead, and the pumpkin color works well over clear, grassy flats. It suits anglers who want a simple soft plastic for saltwater shallows.

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.
