Quick take
A five-inch soft plastic squid lure with a patented vibrating action and squid scent, rigged for vertical jigging and trolling at depth.
This 5-inch, 3.25-ounce White Glow Squidtrex Vibe is a soft vibrating squid lure for offshore and reef anglers. It sinks, pulses on the lift and comes rigged with twin assist hooks. Pick it for vertical jigging or trolling toward bottom fish and striped bass.
