Quick take
Paddle tail swimbaits sized 2.8 to 4.8 inches, made with salted plastic for balanced action.
This 3.3 inch Fat Swing Impact is the compact size of the Keitech paddle tail line, in Tennessee Shad. The tapered ringed body rigs weedless, and the size suits a jig head, an Alabama rig or a jig and Chatterbait trailer. It makes sense for anglers who want a smaller profile for bass, crappie or panfish.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
