Quick take
A 4.5 inch segmented soft plastic jerkbait that floats at rest and dives on twitch for erratic darting action, or works as a ChatterBait trailer.
The Z-Man RaZor ShadZ is a 4.5-inch soft plastic jerkbait with a segmented, fish-shaped body and forked tail. Rigged unweighted on a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG hook, it floats at rest and dives on a twitching retrieve. Its belly slot and dorsal pocket allow weedless rigging, and it can also trail a bladed swim jig. It is made for anglers targeting bass and redfish.

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.
