Hunthouse Barre Shiner Paddle Tail Swimbait
Hunthouse Barre Shiner Paddle Tail Swimbait
The Barre Shiner is a pre-rigged paddle tail swimbait built for bass anglers who want a lure that swims true right out of the packing. The jig head carries a molded baitfish profile with 3D eyes, and the soft body is loaded with fine glitter that flashes with every kick of the tail. That paddle tail gives off a steady thump anglers can feel through the rod tip, even on a slow retrieve.
Because it comes in a wide range of weights, you can fish it shallow over grass and rock or let it fall through deeper water columns where suspended bass hold. It excels as a search bait on flats, along drop-offs, and around baitfish schools. Swim it steady, hop it off bottom, or slow-roll it past cover for largemouth and smallmouth that key on shad and shiners.

How to fish it
- Match the weight to your target depth, lighter for shallow flats, heavier for deep drop-offs.

- Slow-roll along grass lines and rock edges to keep the paddle tail thumping near cover.
- Add occasional pauses or hops when fishing suspended bass or during colder water periods.
Frequently asked

A medium to medium-heavy rod with 10-15 lb fluorocarbon or braid to leader handles most sizes well, giving good hook sets without sacrificing feel.
Yes, the heavier weights and baitfish profile also work for pike and other predatory freshwater species that feed on shad or shiners.
