Quick take
Six 3-inch hard crankbaits in different colors, each weighing 2/5 oz with a 4-7 ft dive range.
Six crankbaits come together in this set, each carrying #6 treble hooks. It is aimed at bass fishing, so it fits an angler building a small box of hard baits for one target species. Having several lures on hand makes it easy to swap looks through a day on the water.

About this type
A crankbait is a hard-bodied lure that wobbles on a steady retrieve; most have a lip that sets how deep they run.
On a lipped bait, a bigger or steeper lip usually sends it deeper.
Most lipped crankbaits float at rest and dive when reeled, so a pause lets the lure back up and away from a snag.
Compared with Jerkbaits: A jerkbait is worked with twitches and pauses and often suspends or floats; a crankbait is reeled.
