Quick take
Hand-painted 3D scan soft plastic baits with pulse tail action and built-in rattle for predatory fish.
The Savage Gear Pulse Tail Baitfish in Green Back is a 3-inch soft bait weighing about three-eighths of an ounce, a size that suits anglers imitating small baitfish for bass and other predators. A built-in rattle adds sound to its swimming action, and its diving depth reaches less than 4 feet. The pulse tail moves at a range of retrieve speeds, which makes it a ready-to-fish swimbait for anglers who want to start throwing it right away.

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.
