Suggestions On A Good Paddle Tail Swimbait.

Featured Replies

I'm going to try paddle tails this year, I've been eyeing basstrix paddle tails for abit. Anyone have good luck with them or any other paddle tails for that matter? I'm looking for something around 4" that I can rig with a 4/0 1/8oz swimbait hook.

Keitech 3.8 and 4.8 FAT swing impacts are great plus double as excellent swim jig trailers. Great action and scent on these baits. Spendy but worth it over the knock offs.

Gambler EZ Swimmer is a favorite of mine.

I just started using the Missle Baits Shockwave last week. It is one amazing paddle tail. The action on the bait is just fantastic.

I've experimented with A lot of different brands while I was figuring out alotbof the nuances to hollow body swimmers ans softbody swimmers... And they are not all created equal, but really all of them mentioned above are pretty good. I really like the keitechs, and I really like the shadalicous

I agree - this is my favorite.

Bass trix are good, but for a lesser cost the Shadalicous are pretty close.

The Keitech's are awesome.  If you want a hollow body, the Shadalicious are good.   I also really like the Roboworm EZ Shad.  You might try the Robo Minnow if you want a 4" bait.

not a hollow body, but I love the Big Hammer!

I forgot about the Hammer.  It's a great bait too.  You have to throw it on a jig head though.

Damiki shad is the best 4" bait I have used so far. RI dippers are nice but they are 3.5 and like 5".
