3-1/2" Paddle Tail Bait – Mud Minnow Magic (5 Pack)

Fish the Color That Fools Them All

The 3-1/2" Paddle Tail Bait in Mud Minnow Magic is built for the flats, the grass edges, and the murky backwaters where inshore predators hunt. With a dark olive-brown back that fades into a chartreuse yellow belly, this color pattern is a dead ringer for the mud minnows, finger mullet, and juvenile baitfish that redfish, trout, and flounder key in on every single day.

Pair it with your favorite jighead — 1/8 oz for shallow skinny water, 1/4 oz when you need to get down in the current — and let that wide paddle tail do the work. The thumping, rolling action triggers reaction strikes even when fish are finicky, making Mud Minnow Magic a go-to when the bite gets tough.

• Target Species: Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Snook, Striped Bass
• Best Conditions: Murky to stained water, grass flats, oyster bars, dock pilings
• Rigging: Pairs perfectly with 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads; also deadly on a Carolina rig
• Pack: 5 baits per pack

Stock up — when the mud minnows are running, you'll want extras.
