When to Use Paddle Tail Swimbaits:

The DB Thresher excels when fish are feeding on shad, herring, or other baitfish. The paddle tail creates strong vibration that helps fish locate the bait in stained water or low-light conditions. Perfect for covering water quickly, searching for active fish, and imitating fleeing baitfish.
