Shrimp Lures VS Paddletails – when are the best times to use either style of lure?
These are the two types of lures that I ALWAYS have with me on every single saltwater fishing trip.
Find out when you should lean on one over the other in the video below!!

Get Slam Shady BOMBER Paddletails
Mini-Courses Mentioned in the Video:
- Power Prawn USA Lures Mini-Course: Rigging, Retrieves, & More
- Slam Shady Paddletail Mini-Course: Rigging, Selection, & Retrieves
Fish eat BOTH of these lure styles.
The key is choosing the right one to match the hatch and to avoid spooking the fish.
Both lures have their own advantages as well as some disadvantages depending on the outside conditions and fish behavior patterns.
Water clarity and other factors will help lead you to the correct lure style to fish with.
