Field Notes

Use on a drop shot rig to keep the paddle tail working while you hold bottom or suspend at the strike zone. Retrieve at varying speeds to trigger the hard thumping tail action, especially when fish are following bait but not fully committing.

Pros

  • Bulky body with narrow tail section creates strong thumping action
  • Works across a range of retrieve speeds
  • Effective for saltwater predatory species on drop shot

Cons

  • Best performance depends on matching the drop-shot depth to fish location
