Quick take
A 3.5 in saltwater topwater lure with low pitch rattle and heavy-duty hardware for calm days and clear water.
A 4-inch, 3/4 oz walking topwater in Bone/Orange Throat, made with saltwater hardware for inshore gamefish like redfish, trout and snook. The high-pitch rattle carries well in wind and stained water. Work it across the surface with a steady walk-the-dog cadence.

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.
