Field Notes

Rig on a suitable jig head or weighted hook and cast to cover. Retrieve steadily to let the paddle tail kick, or vary speed to trigger reaction bites from bass holding mid-water or along structure.

Pros

  • Paddle-tail action for lifelike swimming and vibration
  • Broader head design helps improve hook retention
  • 5-inch size is versatile for many bass situations

Cons

  • Requires a compatible jig head/rig to fish effectively
  • Soft plastic can tear if heavily fouled or overpowered by large fish
