Quick take
The Surf Pointer 115MR in 714 Metallic Sardine is a 4.5-inch sinking jerkbait weighing 3/4 oz, built for long casts from the beach, pier or rocky shoreline. It works down to about 5 feet with a side-to-side wobble and darting motion, and carries #6 treble hooks. A good fit for surf anglers after striped bass, halibut and similar inshore species.

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.
