    Hey Ketchn
    If you are saying the Go Go Minnow has a distinct movement and action then I will agree with you....but the best movement and action can be found in other swimbaits.
    Not all swimbaits have paddle tails....but most people only have experiences with that type!

    Caught 7 nice crappies longlinning 3 inch fire tiger ripple shade on Grenada Lake two weeks ago. My friends fishing in the tournament gave me the side eye. Lol

    So, if I'm getting this straight, the term swimbait requires a boot tail on that back? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but if that is what it is.

    I took a friend out on the lake with me a couple weeks back. I told him what had been working for me but he wanted to try his favorite stuff to see how they stacked up. Didn't work out so hot until he tied on a Storm 2" wild eye bluegill. He started getting some quality bites in short order. They have a big treble hanging off the belly, made him get hung up a few times but a couple of the fish came in hooked with the treble only so I think it might need to stay, for panfish anyways.

    Jim Zeiner came up with the "swim tail" at least 35 years ago. I have literally caught thousands of crappie on them.

    .....Let me clarify things.....I did say typically I associate swimbaits with paddle/spear tails. However, Crest you are correct a swimbait does not have to require a paddle/spear tail. In the industry their are "hard and soft" swimbaits. Soft swimbaits with paddle/spear tails are the norm but hard swimbaits (segmented body styles) are gaining popularity and are certainly effective and life like!

    when yo said little I though the 1 inch ones. to me 3 inch ones are large. I use the Kalen brand double tale in one inch and two inch. lot of action on a small jig head. 1/32 jig and tail will catch a ton of fish.
