Quick take
Scented soft plastic mullet with high-action tail and rapid scent dispersion.
This 4-inch Chartreuse swimming mullet is a soft bait with a realistic head and body and a high-action swimming tail. It comes as a pack of 10 and carries Gulp scent, which helps it work as a saltwater soft plastic. Anglers fishing inshore saltwater can rig it on a jig head or 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.
