    I have all 3 sizes of Do-its Thump Grub molds. I love the two bigger sizes. They are one of my favorite baits to fish but I'm not a fan of the small one. The small one lacks the tail action of the two bigger sizes. It's not even close. I too would like to find a nice small paddle tail bait with lots of tail action.

    A beaver tail is flat and has fluid movements a PaddleTail is in a vertical position relative to a horizontal body that causes the bait to wiggle when pulled through the water

    Too bad no one makes the mold for the 3" or 4" Slider Worm. It's by far the best finesse worm I've ever cast !
