Nope ... look closer Spoony !!! That's a underspin jig head with a solid white paddletail grub on it. Everything is outside the mouth of that Redear, except the hook.Quote:

Even though they were small fish the only thing i could get bit on yesterday was a paddle tail slider. Now i have another mold to buy. :Rofl

Note though about curl tail shapes:
There are wide curl tail shapes down to the thinner curl-base Ribbon tail shape.
The Kalin grub has the widest tail which has a different action than the Ribbon tail or Mr. Twister which is in between.

Lure size of each and speed of retrieve can make a difference as far as producing the unique tail actions.
The Ribbon Tail has more of a fast whip whereas the other two wider tails flap like a flag in the wind. I prefer the R.Tail when I want a faster speed retrieve; the Kalin when I want a slower presentation.
Which is better? - I let the fish decide.
Mr. twister and fle-fly for curly tail . Slider for thump tail .
