Tsurinoya T-Tail Swimbait 110mm Paddle Tail Soft Lure
Tsurinoya T-Tail Swimbait 110mm Paddle Tail Soft Lure
This T-tail swimbait combines a soft, segmented body with a molded jig head up front, giving it the horizontal profile and thump that bass key in on. The paddle tail kicks hard on a steady retrieve, throwing off vibration that fish can track even in stained water. At 110mm and 35g it casts far and settles into a natural, subsurface glide.
It shines when bass are keyed on baitfish, points, flats, and open water around schooling fish. Rigged with front and belly trebles, hookups stay solid on the take. Work it on a straight retrieve, slow roll it along a break line, or add sharp twitches to trigger reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth alike.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait settle before starting a steady retrieve.
- Keep the rod tip low and reel at a moderate pace so the tail stays in full kick.
- Slow the retrieve or pause briefly near cover and drop-offs to trigger following bass.
- Add sharp rod twitches on the retrieve to mimic a fleeing baitfish and draw reaction strikes.
Frequently asked
The 110mm size matches well with average to larger largemouth and smallmouth, making it a solid choice when bass are feeding on medium-sized baitfish.
Use the blue glitter pattern shown here in clear to moderately stained water where a natural baitfish look works well; switch to brighter or darker patterns in heavily stained water.
A medium-heavy casting or spinning rod with 12 to 17 lb fluorocarbon or braid handles the 35g weight well and gives good hook-setting power on the trebles.
It performs well anytime bass are actively chasing baitfish in open water, which is common in spring and fall and during low-light periods in summer.
