Rigging Paddletail Swimbaits

When I was first introduced to paddletail swimbaits (Mister Twister Sassy Shad I think) decades ago, I rigged it just like any stubby soft plastic bait ... on a roundball jighead.

Over the years I've learned the paddletail has many more rigging options such as

  • on a weighted (and sometimes unweighted) EWG worm hooks
  • on an Alabama rig
  • as a trailer on chatterbaits, swim jigs and spinnerbaits
  • even as a skirt replacement on those baits
It's actually a pretty versatile bait/trailer for many bass presentations as bass pro Jacob Wheeler describes in the following video:
