The Mule Fishing Donkey Tail is a 2.8 inch soft plastic paddle tail swimbait. Designed by Discount Tackle Brand AmBASSador and ultra-light multispecies fishing guru Ethan Dhuyvetter (aka @onlineoutdoorsman) for his Mule Fishing Supply Co. tackle outfit, the Donkey Tail has a petite baitfish profile perfect for catching a wide range of species such as bass, crappie, bluegill, sunfish, trout or really any other small species chasing small bait.

Despite their small size, these baits are loaded with ingenuity. They're made from a super-stretchy, buoyant, and durable thermoplastic material so they stand-up on the bottom on a jig head and can easily be used to catch multiple fish. These baits are also incredibly versatile; you can swim them on a straight retrieve, fish them on a Ned rig, or even jig them vertically over schools of feeding fish. Additionally, for anglers who desire an even smaller profile, it's easy to cut the nose portion of the bait off and slim down your offering to a more finesse approach.

Ethan recommends pairing them with finesse mushroom and ball head jigs between 1/32 and 3/32 ounce. But you can also fish the Donkey Tail in numerous other fashions, such as a Texas rig, drop shot, or split shot rig.

Available in 6 colors, 8 baits per pack.

Good soft plastics

Very soft and supple yet very durable. They have great action.

These things are a fish magnet.

Excellent multi-species lure

Three UL fishing trips using the Donkeytail and Donkeytail Jr. lures later I can verify their effectiveness over several different fresh water fish species. I have caught largemouth bass, crappie and Rainbow Trout on each and every trip with these lures under cold water conditions. I highly recommend them- you won't be disappointed! The Dakota Sunrise color is a killer!

Perfect Morsel

I really like the donkey tails rigged on a light jig head. The are a perfect Ned rig trailer and the action is superb. I’ve really enjoyed rigging them on the megabass okashira screwheads. Bass love them and I catch plenty of crappie on them as well. The stretchy plastic is indestructible, I lose the jig and plastic before having to replace the paddle tail. The color options are plentiful, but my favorites are karma, GP, Dakota sunrise and black. I’m excited to see what else comes from mule fishing in the future!!!
