Quick take
A soft swimbait with a hollow head and natural profile, rigged multiple ways for bass and panfish.
This is the 130mm size of Berkley's PowerBait Gilly, a soft swimbait shaped like a panfish and finished in Black Blue Fleck. Its hollow head keeps it upright as it swims, and it can be rigged on a Texas rig, jig head, weighted swimbait hook or drop shot. It suits bass anglers who want a larger profile that works on spinning or casting gear.

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.
