Quick take
A 7-inch 2 1/3 oz soft plastic sandeel with a paddle tail and holographic eyes, featuring two tie points for adjusting presentation depth.
This 7 inch soft-plastic sandeel swimbait in the Mackerel pattern weighs about 2 1/3 oz. A paddle tail gives it a kicking swim, and holographic eyes add to the baitfish look. Two tie points let you rig it for shallower or deeper presentations, which suits anglers chasing larger predatory fish from shore, a kayak or a boat.
Best for
- Large game fish in saltwater or pike in freshwater
- Deep water presentations with two-point rigging
- Trolling and casting for aggressive strikes
Skip if
- You fish small streams or panfish
- You prefer lures under 1 oz
Strengths
- Paddle tail creates full-body lifelike action
- Holographic eyes attract predatory fish
- Two tie points allow shallow or deep presentations
Trade-offs
- 2 1/3 oz weight requires heavier rod and reel
- Large size limits casting on light tackle

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.
