BEARKING Ribbed Paddle Tail Swimbait Grubs, 42mm & 60mm
BEARKING Ribbed Paddle Tail Swimbait Grubs, 42mm & 60mm
This ribbed paddle tail grub is built for finesse bass fishing when fish want a subtle, natural profile. The segmented body flexes with every twitch of the rod, and the curved paddle tail kicks hard even on a slow, steady retrieve, throwing off vibration that draws strikes from largemouth and smallmouth holding tight to cover or suspended over structure.
Available in 42mm and 60mm sizes, it covers everything from finicky clear-water smallmouth to bulkier largemouth profiles. Rig it on a jighead, shaky head, or Ned rig for bottom contact, or swim it weightless through grass and laydowns. The soft, supple plastic holds up to repeated casts and gives off a lifelike swimming action that works year-round.

Frequently asked
The 42mm works well for finicky smallmouth or clear water finesse bites, while the 60mm gives a bulkier profile for largemouth in stained water or heavier cover.
Use natural, translucent colors in clear water and darker or brighter shades in stained or murky conditions so bass can track the bait more easily.
A light spinning setup with 6 to 10 lb fluorocarbon or braid to fluorocarbon leader works well, paired with a jighead sized to the bait for proper action.
It performs year-round but really shines during finesse conditions in spring and fall when bass are holding shallow or suspended and want a subtle presentation.
