Quick take
Fifty 1-inch soft plastic maggots that stretch easily for rigging on small jigs and under bobbers.
A 50-piece bag of small soft maggot baits in white, shaped like a grub at roughly an inch long. They suit panfish-style fishing for trout, crappie, bluegill and carp, rigged on a light J hook. A good fit for anglers who want a bulk pack of small, stretchy baits to run alone or alongside natural bait.

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.
