Quick take
Gary Yamamoto's 5 in Senko soft stick bait for versatile bass fishing in numerous rigging styles.
This 5-inch Senko comes in Purple Pearl With Small Blue Flake, color code 234, in a pack of 10 soft plastic stick baits. It sinks, so on a weightless fall its body shimmies side to side instead of holding high in the water column. The body suits wacky, O-ring wacky, weightless and weighted Texas, drop shot, neko and bed fishing. It is the purple color option among the 5-inch Senkos in this family.

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.
