How were you rigging it 

1/4oz keel weighted EWG hook.

I think k this year a paddletail of one sort or another has probably outfished everything else I have fished 2 or 3 to one, the only other thing that is really very close is a lipless, very clear to me that smallmouth in the PNW are big baitfish feeders and you can have some very good success on a paddletail. 

Maybe the fish around here have just seen too many paddle tails but I've been trying to become friends with them for a couple years now without being impressed. I just have a bunch of other stuff that works so much better. I've had good results using them as a jig trailer though.
