Quick take

A large soft plastic swimbait with Honeycomb Technology for trophy bass in shallow water.

This 6 inch paddle tail swimbait in Ghost Morning Dawn weighs 1.2 oz, a mid-size profile for shallow water. It is pre-rigged with a harness and a Berkley Fusion19 treble hook held by a retention clip. The belly takes two nail weight locations for adjusting depth. The body is harder soft plastic, which suits anglers who want a smaller bait in this family.

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.
