I was happy to find a perch pattern paddletail, but I had doubts about this bait at first as it's action is other than what's been working well for me. I was wrong though. The bass are all over this thing. It casts like a bullet which is good for covering water and getting out to secondary grasslines. Due to the nose's shape it comes through weeds remarkably well. I also swim this thing through heavy pad fields letting it drop in holes or burn it in like a buzz toad. It's super weedless when rigged on an Owner TwistLOCK Light Weighted CPS 6/0 3/32oz #5167-706.  It has a belly slot and the hookup ratio rigged this way is great. I'm up to 19 fish on the bait pictured. It looks no worse for the wear. My buddy picked up a pack and has done very well with them too. If this type of bait produces for you then this one's worth a shot.

I've been wanting to get some.  The pattern looks ultra realistic.  Thanks for sharing.
