Quick take
A finesse soft plastic tube with MaxScent formula and ultra-realistic texture for finicky bass.
This is a 2.5-inch scented soft plastic tube in Black Blue Fleck, a dark color with a bit of sparkle. It is aimed at bass, especially smallmouth, and fits finesse work near the bottom. The compact size suits a light, subtle presentation.
