Quick take
A 6 in, 2 3/4 oz saltwater stickbait with auto tune system for aggressive twitching presentations.

Its body sinks and wiggles from side to side when twitched, and it comes with 5/0 BKK single hooks. Its 6-inch length suits anglers who want a bait sized for mackerel and tuna.

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.
