A 5 inch pearl white swimming mullet that emits extreme scent dispersion to attract saltwater species from distance.
This is a 5 inch Berkley Gulp! Swimming Mullet in Pink Shine, a soft swimbait with a paddle tail that kicks as it is retrieved. The mullet-style body and head pair with Gulp! scent dispersion. A bright color like this suits anglers who want a more visible profile in the water.

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.
