Equipment Used:
This was a humbling day for me out on the water and little did I know I’d learn way more than I originally thought.
I set out on the water with two Power Prawn USA shrimp lures.
One with additional rattles and one without rattles.
Battle Rattles are my preferred choice.
It is a clear capsule with little beads inside to create extra noise to call fish in from far away.
To keep things consistent, I made three casts with one lure then switched over and repeated this process.
How The Day Went
The trip itself got off to an incredibly slow start as it took a while to see some action.
The current flow was light and not impactful so I was mainly skipping these lures underneath mangroves.
A little way into the trip, I found a good shoreline that was holding some fish.
I could see snook swirling around baitfish not far from the shore.
The first fish of the day came on the Power Prawn USA WITHOUT any rattles.
It didn’t pick up after that so I moved to a different spot.
I saw some slight movement on the surface which made me toss out the BOMBER paddletail lure I had rigged up on a third rod.
Within a few cranks, I was hooked up to a small trout.
Power Prawn USA VS. Slam Shady BOMBER
At this point, I decided to completely flip the script and pin the Power Prawn USA up against the BOMBER paddletail.
I wanted to see if my hunch about the fish dialing in on baitfish profiles was correct.
The only way to find out is to start casting.
I continued along the bank switching every three casts between the two lures.
It was not until much later in the day that I saw the first redfish.
I found a really nice cove to cast into underneath mangroves with the BOMBER.
A shadow slowly followed behind the lure and I could see it was a nice bull redfish, but it decided to flee before taking a swipe at my lure.
Conclusion
It was a slow bite but I was fortunate to find a few fish along the way.
I need to head back out and gather more data to provide more definitive results.

I’m down for both…..please.
definitely the comparison of the power prawn versus paddletails of similar sizes! Colors as well, slam shady versus slam shady, gold digger versus gold digger! Love Otis on the boat with you!
I would love to see a battle between gulp shrimp and power prawn usa jr.
Power Prawn vs Paddle Tail
Power Prawn USA Rattles VS. No Rattles test
Good video Luke. There are several combo tests I would like to see.PP USA regular vs JR with and without rattles and weighted hook vs the helix jig heads.
Love the time lapse Otis footage! Both tests would be interesting on their own. The bigger question I have is the comparison between the Shrimp profile vs the Bomber profile. I’m curious if there is any major difference between the two and if so then is it profile or action of the lures that makes the difference?
I’d like PP vs paddle tail. Like someone else said I’d like to see if keeping them close in size makes any difference..
Thanks for making time to post the helpful suggestion Thomas!
Both tests you mention Luke would be educational. I’m indifferent as to which one is first. One possible advantage of doing the PP versus paddletail first is that if they’re preferring a shrimp lure, easy to switch over to rattle versus no rattle. You might also consider keeping the PP and paddletails close in size to minimize profile differences entering the equation. On a slow day like you had, adding DJ to one lure would be interesting to see if smell makes a noticeable difference. Good stuff!!
Thanks for making time to post the helpful suggestions Rob!
