Favorite Paddletail bait

Featured Replies

Now that there are dozens of companies that make these types which ones have you tried and please mention the ones you don't like as well. I admit to having limited expierience with these but I was most impressed with the original Basstrix with the Reaction Strike being the worst that I've used so far.

became a fan of the Yum Money Minnow yesterday, was my first day throwing it and was impressed with how it swam.

Have tried the swim senko some and it does look good also.

Bass Magic/Strike King Shadalicious.

Netbait makes a nice looking bait. Try boiling those reaction strikes.

LOL I'm sorry dude but any bait that I have to boil to get to work properly isn't something I'm interested in  :). I'm with coldwaterbassin, bass magic and shadalicious all the way.

x2, others can't compare.

well since all the other baits are swimbaits I guess this counts even though it doesn't have a paddle tail

Lake Forks magic swim shad is my new number one soft plastic

Question on the Magic Shad & Skinny Dipper, how do you like to rig them? If possible please state preffered hook brand, size & weight. Thanks.

Check out CHARMER BAITS 10.5" paddle tail worms. They are awesome. There are some pictures of a few fish we caught on them on Lake Fork last year and we smoked some pigs on them at Falcon a couple weeks ago.

Of all the hollow tube baits The original Basstrix is the best. also look at 3:16 mighty minnows. Very nice little baits

I rig the SKinny diper with an Owner twistlock hook in 5/0.  I sometimes use a BPS hook weight.

money minow is good but i rly like the money minnow hooks ...ive tried alot of differnet swimbait hooks and cant get the bait to swim right without the monwy minnow hooks

so money minnow+money minnow hooks= greatness

Hey Guys, I have had good results from the Optimum Double Diamond.Has a great shim and swim action. For the 5" use a Davis Baits X Swim Lock 5/0. The 3.5" a Owner CPS 3/0

Hookset

I have really got into fishing the Bass Pro brand squirmin' shad in 5" sexy shad color. It works great in the lakes i fish.
