Quick take
Sinking swimbait designed for bottom and structure fishing, with chest fins for low center of gravity and obstacle avoidance.
The Dark Sleeper is a 3.8-inch, 1-ounce sinking swimbait for bass, built to be worked close to the bottom. Its goby-style profile can be ticked along rock and cover or dragged jig-style. Letting it settle during pauses gives bass a moment to strike, and its hook sits inside the split dorsal fin.

Skip if

Strengths

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.
