Best ways to fish it (demo)
Swim Jig Trailer
Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig
Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head
Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot
Natural subtle glides
Best for
Walleye and smallmouth that are feeding on baitfish but won’t commit to bulkier paddletails.
Style
Clean, consistent thump with minimal lift—tracks true on long swims and controlled drifts.
Where it shines
Breaklines, current seams, gravel bars, and open-water edges where speed control matters.
Swimbait note: if the tail ever stops, you’re either too fast or too heavy—adjust weight before changing baits.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Designed to swim first, react second.
Jig & Swim
A steady, efficient way to cover productive water.
- Rig it straight on a ball or aspirin head to keep the tail centered.
- Count it down and swim it just above bottom with a slow, even retrieve.
- Add brief pauses to let it settle, then re-engage the tail.
Controlled Drift
Let current or wind do the work.
- Position up-current and feed line to maintain a shallow angle.
- Keep light tension so the paddle tail keeps thumping.
- When it enters slack water, pause—bites often happen right there.
Slow-Roll Edge Track
Match cruising fish without forcing a reaction.
- Hold the rod low and reel just fast enough to feel the tail.
- Follow contour lines instead of casting randomly.
- If you tick cover, ease through and keep going.
