Quick take
Scented soft plastic tubes with lifelike tentacle action for bass and panfish.
This is the smallest size in the Power Tube line, a 2.5-inch soft plastic tube in Watermelon Red with 10 pieces to the pack. Molded-in tentacles add motion, and the scent and flavor are part of the bait. The compact profile suits anglers who want a small tube for bass.

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.
