salt water paddle tails

[TaxManMagnet]

Hi guys I just want some information about using saltwater 5 inch and 6 inch paddle tails for bass, could you please share some of your opinions regarding this? the brand I have is Mccarthy and riptide.

No problem with it at all. I fish for barbell with paddletails (Mcarthy and Berkley Havoc) and have caught bass on them too.

everything good lures, the colourfull ones are particular good in early season

Thanks guys, do you just use slightly bigger hooks since the paddle tail is thicker?also do you make a slit on the paddle tail since the salt water ones don't come with the slits?

I like a 4/0 or 5/0 hook on a jig...no slit...just push it through.
