Quick take
Small segmented shad swimbait that mimics the movement of real baitfish, designed for crappie and panfish on light line.

It measures 2.25 inches and comes 15 to a pack in the Lights Out color. A belly channel takes optional scent, and it works on an ultra-finesse jig head or a dropshot rig.

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.
