Quick take
A soft plastic swimbait with a thin paddle tail and ribbed body that vibrates frantically on any retrieval speed.
The Rage Swimmer is a 3.75-inch soft paddle-tail swimbait with a sleek nose cone, a softly ribbed body and a thin, flat tail that gives off strong vibration at any retrieve speed. This Sexy Shad pack holds seven baits, enough to rig up for a day on the water. Bass anglers can fish it on a jig, a drop-shot rig or as a spinnerbait trailer.

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.
