Decoy 5" Hydra Tail Swimbait - $11.99

Representing the next phase in swimbait engineering, the Decoy Hydra Tail Swimbaits are the result of decades of research, design and aquatic biology. Featuring wickedly vivid colors, textures and anatomically correct body movements, these prey-species copies are proven to fool giant bass and other aquatic predators.

Seen from beneath the surface, live prey-fish swim by paddling their tail in subtle side-to-side thrusts. The Hydra Tail Swimbait does just that. While its tail does the real motion work, its head and front three quarters move through the water like an arrow - straight and streamlined ahead. Master swimbait designer Jason Scott learned this lesson long ago, crafting mutiple historic baits that have scored some of the heaviest bass ever recorded.  Available in multiple patterns, the Decoy Hydra Tail Swimbait is a super realistic rendition of a large-sized, super calorie rich meal - a high reward, low energy food risk that big bass have trouble passing up.

Comments: These are the BOMB. The bass out here can't get enough of it. Caught a few good 5-6 LBERs off them. Even the small 12" bass strike this! Bought over 6 of the Rainbow trout and the bass ripped them all up. Need to get glue IMO. They're sturdy, but tends to rip with multiple bites. Very attractive bait. I would recommend attaching a tribal hook with a split ring to increase the chance of catching them. Overall, THIS bait turned me into a TRUE swimbait user. Caught my personal best off this DECOY.. LOVE IT 10/10 for me

Comments: great bait, swimming action is just right, sinks horizontally and sits on the bottom horizontally, when you pull it it glides , durable to, I made a bad cast and it hit a rock hard and wasn't affected at all

Comments: Probably the best shad imitating swimbait on the market, and no 'duds' like another popular soft swimbait i won't mention that has qc issues. Every decoy tracks true right out of the package, no more hot water straightening. I keep mine in the package to keep fins straight. A sewing needle makes it easy to thread braided line. Personally I like it on 14-15lb flouro or mono. I'm telling ya, these little guys catch fish.

Comments: Great bait. On about the 10th cast at Santa Margarita I pulled up a 5 1/2lb'r and this thing has been taking steady abuse every since.  It has lost one eye on it, i am not sure if it was from a fish or possibly a snag, but it has had no effect on it's performance.

Comments: Awesome swimbait! and sits upright on bottom!

From: Adam: Nor Cal

Comments: A very underrated and forgotten about swimbait. Fishes very similar to the 6" Hudd. Bass from 2lbs+ will inhale these.

From: Brian: Mission Viejo

Comments: A VERY quality & great looking little bait with some of the best packaging in the game. I love the little piece to keep the tail from deforming and wish other brands would put in the type of effort these guys do. Also if your having trouble getting the bait to stand on the bottom properly like the guys at Tackle Tour did then cut the hook ring off the belly. This bait was designed to sit up right like Hudds but the ring can sometimes keep it from doing so.

Comments: I really like this bait a lot from the way it looks & swims to the packaging that keeps the tail strait (Best Packaging in the game) this bait is a winner.   

From: John: MO

Comments: just got the light rainbow and the dark rainbow in yesterday. Took them fishing today at diamond valley and nailed a 6 and 7 pounder within the first 10 casts. Great bait

From: Nolan: La Verne

Comments: this is actually a great bait. Too small to imitate a trout(unless you're imitating a baby trout). Best results have been fishing it slooooow. Looking forward to a 7-8oz version

Comments: GREAT BAIT COUGHT A LARGEMOUTH BASS

From: Aikas: Clearwater, FL

Comments:  Great bait. Caught a lot of fish on it already. Jerk it and pause, it'll suspend for a second and then horizontally wobbles down. Fast or slow the bait swims.

From: Pang: Bay Area, CA

Comments: Surprised me. Catches fish in all sizes. Will be getting more.

From: Xay: Macomb, MI

Comments:  i got the dark rainbow looks more realistic when you holding it but its not a full 5in its a little under.

From: Sam: Massachusetts, USA

Comments: Looks like a hudd feels like a hudd but doesnt produce like a hudd.
