Quick take
A 3.5 in soft plastic swimbait with a paddle tail that mimics dying baitfish on a steady or bouncing retrieve.
This 3.5-inch Swing Impact is a compact paddle-tail swimbait in the Sexy Shad shad pattern, aimed at bass. It rigs on a round jig head or Texas rigged to work through cover, and can also be fished on a steady retrieve or hopped along the bottom. A good pick for anglers who want a natural baitfish profile in a small size.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
