Bearking EZ Shinner Soft Paddle Tail Swimbait
Bearking EZ Shinner Soft Paddle Tail Swimbait
The EZ Shinner is a soft plastic paddle tail swimbait built for a natural, rolling swim at any retrieve speed. The tapered body and thin paddle tail kick to life on the fall and on a straight retrieve, throwing off flash and vibration that draws bass in from a distance. The two-tone glitter finish adds extra flash in the water, mimicking shad and shiners that largemouth and smallmouth key on.
Rig it on a jighead, weighted swimbait hook, or Texas rig and work it through open water, along grass edges, or over deep structure. It casts well for its size and holds up to repeated strikes, making it a solid go-to for covering water and locating active fish before switching to more precise presentations.

How to fish it
- Rig on a jighead sized to match the bait for a natural fall and steady swim.
- Cast past target areas like grass lines, points, or drop-offs and count down to the desired depth.
- Retrieve with a slow, steady crank to let the tail do the work without excessive rod action.
- Slow down through the strike zone and pause near cover to trigger reaction bites from following fish.
Frequently asked
The 75mm size is a versatile all-around choice for most largemouth and smallmouth situations, with the 100mm better for targeting larger fish or deeper water.
Brighter, glitter-heavy finishes like the green and red shown work well in stained water, while more natural, subtle patterns are better suited to clear conditions.
Match the jighead weight to the depth you're fishing, typically 1/8 to 3/8 ounce, paired with 10 to 17 pound fluorocarbon or braid depending on cover density.
It performs well from spring through fall whenever bass are feeding on shad or shiners, especially around grass, points, and open water flats.
