Dr.Fish Paddle Tail Swimbaits, Soft Fishing Lures for Bass Fishing 2.75-4.75 Inches, Freshwater & Saltwater Soft Plastic Baits Swim Shad Bait Minnow Lures Drop Shot

Worked great for SMB!

I have yet to use these , but , first impressions are , This isn a very soft bait , looks very lifelike with the addition of the foil molded inside of the bait . That said I ran a jig through it to check on how it ran in my tank , it has a nice action and mimmicks a minnow very well . Until I can put it to a real fishing experience I cant say how well it will hold up to multiple strikes . I will update .

Lots to like about these swimbaits. Quality look and feel with bright colors and a nice reflective silver inside the bait giving it a realistic shimmer that will attract bites. Only bad thing is the chrome piece often gets caught on the hook and will pull out. I caught a fish on my 3rd cast with this bait.

but I can't seem to catch a fish with them. I blame myself, I guess.

1st thing I did, in my living room, was put one of the plastic lures on a Jig head, AND1. These Yellow lures have a strong, rubber/petroleum odor2. Right away, both eyes fell out of the lure2. On the under belly, there is a slit, where an aluminum piece of foil, was inserted into the lure to create the 3D illusion - however, the slit was poorly sealed and the piece of foil will most likely be lost after a few cast, therefore, *I used a cigarette lighter to melt and close up the seal and I think I improved the sealtherefore, I am not happy nor am I impressed, I should not be quality control, i jus want to go fish BUT if these lures help me catch some fish on my next outing - which is the ultimate goal - then I will def return and update this review. To be cont...

i fish san francisco bay waters mostly for stripers and these have been killer lures!! They are a little bit fragile because of the back groove where hook comes through but still worth every penny !!Watermelon and pumpkin seed in 4 3/4 the best size and colors so far.

These came in a reasonable amount of time and are as expected. The bodies are fairly tough and I like the slot it the top of the bait (hook guide). I use these in a TX rig (.25oz bullet) with a 5/0 worm hook. Again they worked great. I caught several fish on the fist one and even though it is slightly chewed up now, it still works. For those of you saying the foil gets in the way of the hook.....take your time and do not rush it. There is plenty of body there to get the hook to one side of the foil. These are pricey but they do work great.

First of all, I did NOT give these 5 stars simply because I have not used them yet. It is still winter, and I do not want to clear a hole through half a meter of ice to test them.As far as their appearance, I was hoping to find ones that resembled an Emerald Shiner. These do not, but that is fine. These are close enough! I look forward to trying these on an Umbrella rig during the mid-late summer!
