Quick take
Four-inch realistic soft plastic mullet with pulse tail for saltwater fish.
A 4-inch silver mullet swimbait weighing two-thirds of an ounce, with a pulse tail built to move at a range of retrieve speeds. It swims between 3 and 6 feet deep, which suits shallow flats, cover edges and mid-depth water. Its hook is tucked into the top fin, so anglers working it around grass and structure have a loose-body option in this size.

- Snook and tarpon hunting mullet
- Speckled trout in estuary channels
- Saltwater sight casting
