Quick take
A 3.5 inch swimbait with asymmetric body and tungsten abdomen that produces stable roll action.
A 5-inch paddle-tail shad swimbait from Keitech in a Silver Flash finish. The soft body has an asymmetric shape and a tail built to keep a steady swimming action, which suits bass anglers who like to rig it on a jig head or a worm hook.

Skip if

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.
