Beaver tail or Paddle tail?

Saw a jig in the Crappie magazine, it was either a beaver tail or paddle tail. Does anyone know where I can find these, they are about 3in I think.

You should be able to get these anywhere....Bass Pro, Cabela's, The Crappie Shop....I usually refer to paddle tails as Slider's.

Is this what they looked like?

DI, forgive me for buttin in but I recently bought some of those at K-Mart. And yes they are made by Yum. They are called Wooly Beavertail and come in all colors. I use the pink and white for white perch this time of the year.

And they work pretty good, huh?

Same as every other type of plastic or do you notice a higher/lower catch rate??

Hello D.I. I think I read the same article a couple of months ago about the guy in Oklahoma. They are called woolybeavertails. I couldn't find them in a retail store so I ordered some on the 'net. I bought bla/char, grn/char, and pumpkin/char.They come in 20 packs and have a ton of salt on them and Yums LPT attractant. On Lake Allatoona I have had a lot of luck with the black/chart color around marinas and docks vertically jigging. Have also caught a lot of green and white fish on them. I have not had much luck swimming the baits, only vertical fishing them. I didn't buy the black/pink color they liked in the magazine but hope to find some soon. Good fishin' John.
