Quick take
A 6 inch soft glide bait with tall broad profile and dual treble hooks that creates wide gliding and erratic chopping action.
This is the 6-inch, 1 oz Chop Block in Chrome Gizzard, a soft-bodied glide bait with a tall, broad profile that imitates gizzard shad and panfish. It slow-sinks and can be worked with a wide, slow glide or a quick, tight chop. A treble hook with a stinger rides on the body, aimed at bass anglers new to glide baits.

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.
