Quick take
Soft plastic swimming mullet with a high-action paddle tail and scent dispersion in a realistic body.
This 3-inch Pearl White swimming mullet is a soft plastic bait with a realistic head and body and a tail built to kick with plenty of motion. It carries Gulp! scent dispersion to widen the area a fish may notice it. Anglers going after bass and panfish can rig it on a jig head or a J hook for a natural baitfish look.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
