Quick take
A 5 in soft plastic trout swimbait with paddle tail and rigging eyelets for stinger hooks.
The Savage Gear 3D Real Trout is a 5-inch soft plastic swimbait in the Hitch color, weighing 1 1/4 ounces. Its paddle tail gives side-to-side action, and it swims at a depth of 4 to 6 feet. A jig hook with eyelets for stinger hooks suits anglers who want to rig it for bass and other predators.

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.
