Quick take
Multi-size soft plastic swimbaits that mimic live shad and minnows for striped bass and pike.
This is a 5.5 inch soft plastic paddle tail swimbait in white, sold as a pack of 8. The paddle tail gives a steady swimming wiggle on a slow retrieve, which suits it to rigging on a jig head or weighted hook. Anglers chasing bass can fish it in freshwater, and it also fits saltwater work for species like striped bass.
