A hybrid of a paddle tail that lures with a fluttering action and a tube worm that gets the bite with its darting and spiraling action. The 2-1/2" Padtue is the ultimate reaction bait. When rigged with a jig head, it lures with a spiral fall, and when used with sharp rod work, it induces a reaction bite with a darting action from side to side. When rigged with a down shot, it maintains the horizontal position when staying still, which is unique to tube worms, and when used with fine actions such as shaking, the tail section sways with even the slightest water current. Another feature is that the worm itself is easy to crush, making it easy to hook, even with the weak bites that are typical of deep water in midwinter. The tricky action that can be unleashed by the feeding body size makes this a reaction bait that is sure to win in one hit.
