Quick take
The Savage Gear Jointed Glide Swimmer is a 6.5-inch hard bait weighing 1 3/4 ounces that sinks slowly, so it can hang in the strike zone through long pauses. It swims in a wide S pattern between 3 and 6 feet down, which suits bass, pike and musky anglers working flats, banks and moving water. The Chartreuse Flash finish gives an angler a bright option for stained water.

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.
