Quick take
A 6-inch bone-colored floating minnow with weight transfer for long casts and a darting side-to-side action.
The Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow in Bone is a 6-inch floating minnow for anglers working saltwater and inshore water. It runs to about 3 feet and rises on a pause, so it fits a fast, ripping retrieve or a twitch-and-pause pattern. Its weight-transfer design and realistic scale pattern with 3-D eyes are aimed at long casts and a lifelike look for striped bass and bluefish.

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.
