Quick take
A 7.5-inch worm with a wide ribbon tail that creates swimming action on every retrieve.
This is a 7.5 inch ribbon-tail worm in Green Pumpkin with purple flake, aimed at bass anglers. The wide curly tail moves a lot of water as it swims, and the solid body is meant to stay on the hook through repeated casts. Green pumpkin is a natural shade that anglers often reach for in clear to lightly stained water.

About this type

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.
