Questions about Dr.Fish Soft Body Swimbait Paddle Tail Soft Plastic Bass Lure, 2-3/4 to 4-3/4 Inches, Shad Lure Texas Rig Drop Shot Lure

what size jig head works best with the 2.76 size Thx

Answer: 1/32 or a 1/16

How many come in the package?

Answer: It's pack of 6.

Answer: 6 to a pack

How do i set this up on my pole? I cant get it to swim right

Answer: I Use a egg lead on my main line to the swivel with a rapalla knot. Snell knot on the other end with a 6’ leader snelled to the hook. Typical Hawaiian whipping setup. I hook it through the upper and lower lip so it swims upright.

Answer: Use a weighted swim bait hook. Also use a loop knot

Answer: I use these as a drop bait. A number 1 drop shot hook through the nose. If I wanted to use them as a swimbait I would use a small jig head. Something like a crappie jig head would work. Hope this helps. Check out WSSFISHING for a similar Dr. FISH drop shot bait footage.

Answer: Use a 3/0 to 4/0 corkscrew nose weighted belly hook. It's action will catch the attention of any fish near by

Answer: I just ran a jig head through the "mouth" and then brought it up through the back

I am done with China! As such my lead off question will always be: Where is product made?

Answer: China

Answer: I don’t know but this bait will catch fish of all kinds.

Can you use them for crappie?

Answer: Yes you can but the smallest size I am aware of is about 2.75” I think this is a little large for typical crappie fishing

Answer: Depending on their size . Work great on small mouth bass

Answer: Yes.

Answer: Yes

Right sized jig head for 4” using 10lb test line?

Answer: I wouldn't recommend using a jig on this soft plastic, the inside is hollow with a silver reflective plast in the middle. Best results with this plastics is using a screw nose belly weight hook. But to answer your question yes it is 4 inches in length

Answer: YES!

What is the country of origin?

Answer: China

Answer: Chi-nah

Answer: Southwest Arizona

Answer: Need you ask

anyone catch rainbow trout with the 3.9 inch ? are they too big for em or would it work

Answer: This certainly wouldn't be my first choice for trout.

Mine did not have paddle tails out of package why to me its junk without

Answer: I would return it or contact manufacturer/seller

Does any of these glow in the dark?

Answer: No reflective material

Answer: No

Do these have hollow bodies?? What type of hook, and size of hooks should I rig it with?? Thanks...

Answer: They are a solid body but the rubber is soft enough to push a hook through. I used up to a 1/4 " jig head with a #2 hook for my set up.

How do you tie the shaky shad

Answer: I do a snell/clinch/uni knot to a hook and you can either just hook through the lip or run the hook through the head and come out the belly.

Answer: 3/0 hook with a corkscrew nose and belly weight

Dropshot recommended?

Answer: I've used this bait to drop-shot for Smallmouth and it worked very well the only thing that isn't very good as there's a piece of oil in it and the hook doesn't like seating very well in the bait but it is a strong plastic

I need swimbaits with absolutely no scent and no salt. do these have either scent or salt infused into them?

Answer: no scent or salt.

Answer: These have scent

Answer: I didn’t stick them in my mouth but they did come dry not immersed in some oil or fluids. They’re not too expensive and for the price do what they supposed to. Attract fish.

I'm fishing in the weeds, primarily for largemouth bass and pickerel.. what size hook should i use?? no jigs, or weights.. weedless..

Answer: Hi there. It is designed for bass, but turns out working well for crappie and perch too. #2 to 1/0 hooks are recommended.

Did not have a paddle tail,why

Answer: Mine had a paddle tail. They were a different color. They show yours as a paddle tail. They mention it in the description.

Answer:

How many

Answer: 6 in a pack

Answer: 6 in a pack.... They have a tinfoil embedded in the body for flash

Answer: I think 6. Haven't used them in quite some time, and they're scattered or lost.

Answer: Six

from where shipments are made? China?

Answer: Yes, and they are terrible. Their customer service sucked and there were suppose to send me more as the picture showed there was 12 baits and I only received 6. My second package I received was a square filter of some sort. Spend your money elsewhere is my advice.

Answer: It is fulfilled by Amazon. Sent from one of Amazon Fulfillment Center located in the states.

Product reviews of Dr.Fish Soft Body Swimbait Paddle Tail Soft Plastic Bass Lure, 2-3/4 to 4-3/4 Inches, Shad Lure Texas Rig Drop Shot Lure

Cal : very realistic

Oh yeah. Bubba will love this one.

Jaime : Decent for the price

Not bad.

backtooldies : Great item????

This was exactly what I was looking for. I am setting up a fishing box for my grandson and this works out. I would recommend this product to everyone.

koder : I caught a few small bass this morning and a 10 lb. Carp.

Great baits they work

Mark F. : Thank you Dr Fish!!

This is my favorite new soft bait! I've caught several big fish of the season and plan on keeping stock of these for years to come!! Thank you Dr Fish you've made some great memories for me and my kids!!

Evenengle : great product

these are the bomb i out fished the teacher!

Stanley F. : Excellent Product

Excellent Product in Presentation & Catching Bass or Larger Brim.

Keith Heaton : Must have!!!

Wow, just gotta say. These little minows resemble shiners so much!!! With the right weight setup, you can definitely catch some hogs with these little guys!!! I will say on the downside, they do get ripped up pretty easily and it does suck that they don't last as long for how expensive they are, but at the end of the day, totally worth every penny!!!!

Zack Meers : Fish lures need eyes

Poor product. The company did all that work to get the action pretty good and the color better than most but the “eyes” fall off every time. They are so cheap, it’s almost impossible to rig the lure with atleast one eye falling off.

Cal : very realistic

Oh yeah. Bubba will love this one.

smokediver : Nice bait

They were delivered today .I hooked up my boat Went to the lake for evening fishing. I found some shad schools and started throwing this bait caught a few spotted bass and it held up well

GerryD. : Negative review

Since Amazon will not let me write a negative review of them, I will not write a review at all

Amanda : Four Stars

The eyes popped off in the package before I even opened them. They do look very realistic though.

Ibuyalotofcrap : Very life-like

They are very life-like, but the eyes come off easy.

Bill R : OK

To soft for my liking.

Emily Fernandez : Very soft

The thing with theses baits are they rip easily and there not worth the amount u get and the price, but they do look nice In the water

Melchor M Famarato : Nice flexibility of bait, last longer

Best than any swimbaits

John : Great looking baits.

These things look great! I can’t wait to use them.

2AJimmy : Awesome swimmer

Great little swim bait, wish it was a little bit bigger, but I have been catching lots of 2lb to 3lb bass on this bait, has very good action when swimming through the water. Only thing that's wrong that they need to improve is the glue they use for the eyes, after a couple ours casting they eyes fall off, other than that it's great! Way cheaper than the realistic swim baits at bass pro shop

rob : Beware the amount. And they took 2 weeks to arrive.

Already disappointed, advertisement. Pictures show you will get 12 and you only get 6. Keep in mind I bought 2 packs. Thinking I was getting 24 total. Sneeky tactic to rip you off.

Eric R Schoenback : What I look for in soft plastic baits.

These seem to be made very well as for durability. I also ordered the shad ones as well. I've been fishing about 50 years. Besides durability which I judge by the soft plastic twist lock by the hooks eye. If I need to start it by inserting the hook 1st so I can screw it on, it's tough. Then I go by the eyes, which some fish do especially on shrimp lures that Striper's look for.

I don't know if I will have a chance before spring. I'll update this, I don't think that will be an issue. I'm outside Ocean City Md. This time of year it's better to go after TuTogs by the jetty and a few other locations Bayside.

JLO : Bait

Looks great but easy to tear

ArnDawg : I have caught fish

The first time I used these I didn't catch any fish with it but maybe I didn't try hard enough. The second time I stuck with this lure much longer and I did catch a fish. Not a banner day. I also discovered that the Mylar insert in the body can get foul when try to rig the lure "Texas" style.

Elizabeth the shopper : Good product, quick delivery

Bought this to attract some perch. It worked, got myself a few.

Javier Escobedo : The appearance

They look good but when inserting the hook they break because the internal ologram is not attached and the plastic only has a small union.

Kaitlyn : Five Stars

Great purchase

oscar nicholson : great

great but to expensive.

Rick56 : works well in the water

very soft natural feel & caught 5 bass on the first outing

Richard : They work awesome second cast third cast every time I moved

A little expensive but well worth it

ArnDawg : I have caught fish

Mike Smith : Color different than photo.

Color does not match photo.

Stanley F. : Excellent Product

Excellent Product in Presentation & Catching Bass or Larger Brim.

jonathan cooper : cheap

cheap

Melchor M Famarato : Nice flexibility of bait, last longer

Best than any swimbaits

Bub61 : Durability and flexability

Great for our crappies and bass

steve grabowski : Color not accurate

Ordered chartreuse. Look nothing like the description. The coke is the main reason I bought it. Didn’t want solid puke yellow.

tdab : Swimbait - 4.75 inch Green/Silver Foil - Pricey but effective

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.

Rick56 : works well in the water

very soft natural feel & caught 5 bass on the first outing

George : Trying for the first time

I'm A Crappie fisherman they caught my eye . Haven't tried it yet but I'm sure they will work out

steve grabowski : Color not accurate

Ordered chartreuse. Look nothing like the description. The coke is the main reason I bought it. Didn’t want solid puke yellow.

Leanna : Like the foil but it is not made to last.

No bites. Looks good but that's all it is. Return.

Amazon Customer : well worth the money

redfish slammers

tdab : Swimbait - 4.75 inch Green/Silver Foil - Pricey but effective

JLO : Bait

Looks great but easy to tear

DANIEL : Not as pictured....

Now given there is nothing wrong with these. It is simply when you are ordering two of the same lure in two clearly different colors just to find when when they are the same color.....

jonathan cooper : cheap

cheap

Ben C. : Excellent size for trout

Seems to be a good bait caught a couple of trout on it as a trailer but have not had a chance to use it much I really like the mylar inside the belly

Sampson : Great small bait!

Bought these In pumpkin seed to use offshore to replicate the small bait fish that school up under sargasm patches. I put them on a 1/4 oz jig head or small weighted hook and the fish went nuts. Caught several small mahi and blue runners. The fish were all over these the second they hit the water. I’ll be buying more in all the colors to have as an option at all times!

John P Harmon : Performed As expected

Performed As expected

Wifeypoo : Eyes keep falling off

Eyes keep falling of after a few casts
