Quick take
6.25-inch segmented hard bait with lifelike S-curve swimming motion for bass, pike, and walleye.
The 4Play Pro in Sexy French Pearl is a 6.25-inch, 1 1/4 oz swimbait with a segmented body and treble hooks. It swims in an S-curve that suits stop-and-go retrieves. It covers the 3 to 6 foot zone, a mid-size choice for anglers chasing 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.
