Quick take
Unpainted jerkbait blanks with an internal weight transfer system that allows custom finishing and tuning for jerkbait patterns.
Shelt's 25-pack gives anglers 110 mm slow-sinking jerkbaits, each about 4.33 inches long and sold unpainted, so they can be finished in any color scheme. A weight transfer system moves a hidden weight toward the tail on the cast and forward again on the retrieve, which shapes how the bait darts and pauses. Bass anglers who like to work a bait with twitches and pauses will find a slow sink a good starting point for their own colors and patterns.

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.
