Quick take
Six 3.8-inch paddle-tail swimbaits in two-tone colors that maintain swimming motion at any retrieve speed, weedless when rigged.
This is a 3.8 inch paddle-tail swimbait in the Bluegill Flash color, sold as a six-piece pack. Its ringed, tapered body is built to rig weedless, so it works on a jighead through open water or Texas-rigged around cover. A squid-scented, two-tone injected body suits bass anglers who want one soft plastic for both swimming and flipping.
Best for
- Texas-rigged presentations in weedy areas
- Flipping and pitching near cover
- General-purpose bass fishing with minimal snagging
Skip if
- You fish open water with crankbaits
- You target species smaller than panfish
Strengths
- Two-tone color injection creates natural-looking profiles
- Tapered ringed body stays weedless on Texas rigs
Trade-offs
- Paddle tail occasionally collects weeds or algae
- Soft plastic body degrades faster than hard lures
- Six-bait pack depletes quickly with heavy use

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
