Quick take
Gary Yamamoto's original soft plastic stickbait, proven to catch bass when rigged weightless, wacky, or on a jig head.
This Gary Yamamoto 5-inch Senko in watermelon with red flake comes ten to a pack. It sinks on its own, so anglers can fish it weightless, wacky-style, on a Texas or Neko rig, or on a drop shot. Adding a small bullet weight to the nose helps it work through grass.

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.
