Quick take
Soft plastic octopus skirts in a range of sizes and colors for saltwater trolling.
This 3.9-inch octopus skirt in an orange luminous finish comes in a 22-pack, a shorter size for anglers who want a compact presentation. The luminous finish gives the skirt a glow that suits low-light fishing. Trim the skirt so it covers the body but stops short of the hook.

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.
