I was pretty impressed with that tail action in the tank test. Also that 3.5 is perfect walleye size!

Heck yeah Mike !!! Too have one that will swim at a very slow speed is key in the spring and fall. This will get the job done.

It definitely fits in with our slower style of jigging walleyes in cold water.

After seeing what efishnc was doing with the big one I see I have a few more molds to add. They all have there time and place.

I agree I'll probably end up with all sizes of that. I also liked the double spinner idea he was showing us. That looked sweet.

What did you guys think of the 3.5" ring bodied paddletail as a walleye bait? The orange one. I see that clobbering those walleyes in deep winter below the dams.

I agree guys, it was great getting to play with the molds and I was also surprised at the motion in that bait. Also going to have to get all sizes.I bet that two spinner deal that efish had rigged would be good on a slow troll also.

For some reason anything with a ring body will out fish other plastics when it comes to walleye. I don't know if it's the sound waves or the body movement or both; but it works.

That is also a awesome walleye bait Tom and Gary I do think a ribbed bait most feel more life like because fish seem to hold on longer.

Must have been a 'show item'.
Are you talking 'zipper goby' here?

Tom I've been waiting for a mold like that orange ribbed paddle tail for quite some time. The thin tail on that bait has awesome action and I like the ribs a lot. That bait should be a real solid walleye producer for me everywhere I fish.

Steve....this is not exact but the idea and shape are close enough to give you an idea of what we are referring to.
