Quick take
A 3 inch soft swim shad pre-rigged on a J hook, flavored with the exclusive PowerBait formula.
A soft paddle-tail swim shad that comes already rigged on a spear-point hook, so it is ready to cast out of the pack. This 3-inch Pearl Red Eye version weighs about a quarter ounce and comes five to a pack. It suits bass, pike and walleye anglers who want a simple swimbait to work with a steady retrieve.

- Jigging near structure or over brush piles

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.
