The most common is the very productive paddle tail. The paddle tail soft lures. Shaped body tapers slimly down to where the tail fin is situated, and rather than a natural tail fin a oblong soft plastic vein is attached. This vein when the lure ir retrieved starts to pulsate rapidly as if the lure is actually swimming. paddle tail soft baits are deadly for all predatory fish and any serious lure angler should own a selection, period!
