hey everyone, i was looking for some swim baits and saw manns hard nose swim shad, i was wondering if anyone uses these swim baits and if there good. thanks for any info

Same thing as all the other paddletail tube minnows, just with a harder head.  It helps keep the bait on the hook for all those days when you're not catching fish on it ;D

I'm not a believer in this type of lure yet.

I think if you will look close at the paint detail some of the other tube type baits look much better. Right now my favorite is the xcite baits 5" hollow body. Been catching 50-100+ fish a day on these on Lake Amistad in the short time I have been using them.

I have a pack of Mann's Hardnose Paddletails.  I can honestly say that so far, they have performed just as well as the expensive hollow body paddletails for me...

Still nothing on the paddletails for me.  Just as bad as the chatterbait...
