Halco Madeyes – Paddle Prawn 4" 

The Madeyes 4” Paddle Prawn soft plastic can withstand repeated strikes thanks to its durable body incorporating Madeyes proprietary Rubber Stretch Technology (RST).

The Paddle Prawn has a thin, lightweight yet durable tail that floats up towards the surface when paused, and sends irresistible vibrations through the water when jigged. The legs and feelers add to the natural appeal making this lure incredibly lifelike underwater. On the drop, with a lift and wind action or straight-up slow roll, the Paddle Prawn swims with continuous lifelike action.

With its RST technology, the lure can withstand repeated strikes from toothy predators, is enhanced natural squid scent, and many colours are highly UV reactive – these babies are unbeatable in the water!

Specifics:

• Applications: Jigging
• Length: 4 inches, 10.16cm
• Buoyancy: Floating

Techniques for Fishing:

1. Slow Roll Retrieve: Use a slow and steady retrieve, allowing the paddle tail to create a lifelike swimming motion. This mimics the movement of a prawn or shrimp.

2. Jigging: Employ a jigging technique by lifting and dropping your rod tip during the retrieve. This imparts an erratic movement, resembling a prawn's natural behavior.

3. Bottom Bouncing: Let the Paddle Prawn sink to the bottom, then retrieve it slowly along the bottom-feeding fish looking for prey.

4. Pause and Twitch: Incorporate pauses during the retrieval, followed by quick twitches. This imitates a prawn momentarily pausing or attempting to escape, enticing strikes.

5. Vary Retrieve Speed: Experiment with different retrieval speeds. Sometimes a faster retrieve can trigger aggressive strikes, while a slower pace might be effective in more cautious fish.

6. Target Structure: Cast near underwater structures like rocks, reefs, or submerged vegetation where prawns are likely to be found. Predatory fish often lurk in these areas.

7. Adjust for Conditions: Consider the water clarity and adjust your lure color accordingly. Bright colors may work well in clear water, while more natural tones could be effective in murkier conditions.

8. Night Fishing: Paddle Prawns can be effective at night. Fish are often more active in low light conditions, and the lures design can attract attention. 

As always, adapt your techniques based on the specific fishing environment and the behavior of the targeted fish species.
