Whippin' Tails

Twitch It. Flap It. Watch Them Crush It.

The Whippin’ Tail from PavLures is a soft plastic bait designed for inshore anglers targeting speckled trout, redfish, and other saltwater predators. Unlike paddle tails, it isn’t built for constant retrieves—instead, its unique design vibrates and flaps when twitched, provoking aggressive strikes. Available in 4.5" and 5.5" sizes, Whippin’ Tails are sold in packs of six and come in a range of colors tailored to coastal fishing conditions.

Key Features

• Twitch-Activated Action — Tail vibrates and flaps with rod twitches, imitating distressed prey.

• Two Sizes Available — Choose 4.5" or 5.5" variations for different forage matches.

• Rigging Flexibility — Fish on a 1/16 oz jighead or weedless setup for grass and structure.

• Strike Response Proven — Field testing shows trout and redfish often “inhale” the lure on the fall.

• Versatile Species Targeting — Effective on speckled trout, redfish, flounder, and other inshore feeders.

• Pack Size — Sold in packs of 6 baits.

Specs Table

Best Use & Conditions

• Shallow grass flats where weedless setups keep the bait moving cleanly.

• Oyster beds, potholes, or mud bottoms where twitch-and-pause excels.

• Slow, methodical presentations when fish are pressured or sluggish.

Rigging & Tips

• Twitch-Pause Retrieve: Two sharp twitches, then pause—most strikes come as the bait sinks.

• Weedless Setup: Weightless rig for fishing through heavy grass or vegetation.

• Slow Drag: Crawl the bait across potholes to mimic prey hiding in the bottom.

• Patience Approach: Give each spot 10–15 minutes before moving on—fish often strike after repeated presentations.

• Pro Tip: Keep the rod tip up to detect subtle bites on the fall.
