This bait has the most unique swimming action. Crappies, Perch, Pickerel, and Bass love these baits. They catch fish when other baits don't and have a great selection of colors.

Garland plastics for crappies
These plastics have become my go-to plastic when I troll for crappies over the weeds. I have a bunch of different colors to match the day, the light conditions, the time of the year and the mood of the crappies!

Winner Winner Crappie Dinner
I caught so many Crappie with this paddle tail I couldn't believe it! I opted for the Monkey Milk color and it caught enough for a nice Crappie fry with the family. I floated then switched to casting which proved to catch more fish than using a float. The fish strike hard on this bait. Definitely give it a try.

Best action of any plastic i have ever seen
Tried these for the first time this year and caught everything from bass, crappie, and even walleye when no other baits were working, the action is incredible can't wait to try the larger sizes.
The shipment came early and Discount tackle did an outstanding job keeping me informed of my order.

Great For More Than Crappie
Fish love the Baby Shad Swim'R. It works for crappie. I've also caught bluegill and a bunch of large mouth bass. Great bait.
Ned Rigs were introduced to me 3 years ago. I can always count on them to catch fish, any fish. Just like the Z-Man TRD, I can always count on Discount Tackle for quick delivery and fair prices. The box stores have gotten ridiculously priced. I found Discount Tackle this year and have ordered often from them several times times. I appreciate their pricing, inventory and fast delivery. Even paying shipping I’m saving money and getting the lures and colors I want. Discount Tackle is my go to store for stocking my tackle box!
Great reel but not sure TW is worth the price difference
I just picked up one of these after using a Lexa 300 HD for many seasons. I use them for fishing 2-5oz swimbaits on the California coast, typically in 30-100 FOW while drifting.
Pros compared with Lexa HD:
- I like that the TW line offers the lower 6.3:1 gear ratio that's marginally better for California halibut while still having essentially the same line per turn as the 7.4:1 Lexa HD, which I've found to be very beneficial while on the drift (I can't use the 6.3:1 Lexa HD in the afternoon, when the drift picks up, because it doesn't retrieve line fast enough to maintain good swimbait action)
- I do think it casts farther than the Lexa HD, but I'm still feeling out whether I think that extra distance is worth the extra cost
Cons compared with the Lexa HD:
- I prefer the HD's counter-balanced handle and smaller knob. I haven't yet had the TW's handle swing while casting, causing the spool to engage and cast to get cut short, which I've read online can happen; I've been purposefully positioning the handle before casting to avoid this, but I'd prefer not having to do that or think about this. And while you can find the other handle online and swap it on, that just adds to the cost (plus, some handles found online don't come with the appropriate nut plate and screw; you have to order them separately from Daiwa).
- Cost
But overall, it's still a Lexa, which means it's buttery smooth, well built and well sealed. If cost is not a factor, the TW is probably worth it, and I have seen them go on sale from time-to-time at a cost very similar to the HD.
