Quick take
A 6-inch soft plastic stick bait that works weightless, wacky-rigged, Texas-rigged or on a shaky head for bass and panfish.
This is the 6 inch Yamamoto Senko, a soft stick bait sold five to a bag in the green pumpkin with large red flake color, code 318. It is made of salt-impregnated soft plastic with a thick round body, and rigged weightless it falls horizontally with a side-to-side tail action.

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.
