The Smoke paddle tail swimbait is one of the most versatile colors in the Fish On! lineup. This natural translucent gray mimics the look of mullet fry, glass minnows, and other small baitfish that inshore predators key on. In clear water, it’s an easy choice — nothing looks more natural. In slightly stained conditions, the translucent body still allows enough light through to create a lifelike shimmer that triggers strikes.
Each pack includes 12 soft plastic paddle tails in your choice of 3.25" or 4" — both sized to pair perfectly with Fish On! jig heads.
Why Smoke Works
- Natural translucent profile – Lets light pass through to create a shimmer that resembles live baitfish
- Works in clear to lightly stained water – Neutral color doesn’t spook fish in pressured or clear-water situations
- Extra-large paddle tail – Creates a wide, thumping kick that fish feel and see from a distance
- Durable soft plastic – Holds up to multiple fish and repeated casts without falling apart
- 12 per pack – Plenty of backup when the bite is on

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I choose — 3.25" or 4"?
The 3.25" is ideal for lighter jig heads (1/8 oz to 1/4 oz) and targeting trout and flounder. The 4" is better paired with 1/4 oz to 1/2 oz heads when targeting larger fish or fishing deeper water.
Is Smoke a good color for redfish?
Yes, especially in clear or lightly stained water over sand or grass. It’s a natural, low-pressure color that doesn’t over-alarm fish that are feeding selectively.
How do I rig paddle tails on a jig head?
Thread the hook point through the nose of the swimbait and push the body down the shank until it sits flat and straight. A straight, even rig creates the best swimming action.
