Quick take
A 4-inch soft plastic swimbait with shad-like profile and accordion tail for realistic baitfish motion.
The Yamamoto Zako is a 4-inch soft plastic swimbait with a deep, shad-like belly and a segmented tail that moves with a tight, subtle action. A centerline on top helps you rig it straight, and the molded belly slit suits weedless Texas rigging. Many bass anglers use it as a trailer on a bladed jig or a flipping jig. This pack holds six in the Sight Flash color.

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.
