Quick take
A hollow-body topwater rat with a silicone tail that displaces water surface for walking action.
The Lunkerhunt Yappa Rat is a 2.75-inch walking topwater bait weighing 3/4 ounce, with a silicone skirt tail and a flexible transparent bill. Its weedless design suits anglers who work cover, and a straight retrieve gives a tight shimmy while slack-line pulls make wide swings. It gives bass and trout anglers a soft, hollow rodent imitation for working the surface.

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.
