Quick take
Five-inch saltwater soft lure with paddle tail and natural fish attractant for saltwater gamefish.
This is a slim 5-inch soft swimbait with a paddle tail, sold seven to a bag in the Chicken on a Chain color. The plastic is salt-impregnated and carries a fish attractant, so it suits anglers working saltwater flats and inshore water, and bass anglers can throw it too. A rigged paddle tail like this is an easy way to cover water with a steady retrieve.
Best for
- Casting to grass flats and structure
- Jigging in channels
- Saltwater inshore species hunting
Skip if
- You fish freshwater only
- You prefer large 7+ inch profiles
Strengths
- Liquid salt enhances action and buoyancy
- BANG attractant triggers holds on soft plastics
- Slender profile appeals to finicky species
Trade-offs
- Soft plastic tears easily on sharp teeth or shells
- Salt impregnation can wear off with extended use
- Seven-per-bag count requires frequent replacement
