Quick take
A realistic 3D rat imitation with soft appendages and dual hooks that creates a waking surface action.
This brown 3D Rat from Savage Gear is a 6 1/2 inch, 1/2 oz topwater built from a scan of a real rat. Rig it at the bill to wake along the surface, or move a hook to the back to work tighter spots. It is a fit for bass, pike, musky and catfish anglers fishing around cover.

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.
