Quick take
A 4 inch segmented soft plastic swimbait with tight accordion tail and belly slit, designed as a chatterbait or jig trailer.
The Yamamoto Zako is a 4 inch soft plastic swimbait with a segmented body and a flanged tail that keeps its motion tight, like a bluegill or shad. A center line on top helps you rig it straight, and the split belly suits Texas rigging. Many bass anglers pair it with a vibrating jig as a trailer, or flip it. This black and blue flake color comes in a pack of 6.

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.
