Quick take
A 5-inch soft plastic stick bait with a slow fall and natural shimmy, versatile for multiple rigging methods.
This is Yamamoto's 5-inch Senko in watermelon with large black and small red flake, sold as a 10-count bag. It is a soft plastic stick bait that shimmies from side to side and falls in a slow, horizontal flutter when rigged weightless. The same body works wacky, Texas, O-ring wacky, drop shot, neko and bed rigs. Pick it if you want one 5-inch flake color that covers several rigs from a single bag.

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.
