I've had much better luck on Curly tails, not much on the paddle tails. Is there any circumstance that people think that a paddle tail will out perform the curly tails?

From my experiances the paddle tail really shines during cold front conditions,pressured waters where they see everything,and cold water temp usually 50 and below......The paddle tail burned over weeds in the summer can be a good trigger.

My 2 cents....

Paddle tail seems to work better for me in cold water with slower presentations. Curley tails move fish all the time it seems, but if they are following the bigger curly tail very non-aggressively, I'll switch to a paddle tail.
Also like paddle tails on jigs that I fish like I'm fishing for walleyes, like working weed edges or milfoil gaps and pockets, they fall slower on the drop it seems and will even glide a little.

Personally, I like a paddle tail over a curly tail.
Unless fishing in heavy weeds, where a paddle tail is a little wider and more difficult to rip through.
Any creatures that don't sell at the next swap, will post on buy, sell, trade, in lots.

Some of my favorite "creatures" come from the bass plastics page, and lately quite a few are targeting salt-water species.

I was using some of Andy's suzy suckers today and couldn't get the paddle tail to move much unless I burned it! Is this normal? I tried a couple different ones with the same results!

24/7, I have one of his 11" Suzys and it doesn't take much speed to get the tail wagging. I think Andy had a batch of them early on that didn't move as well as they were supposed to. I think he trimmed the tail a little to make them work right. Give him an email or call, I'm sure he'd be more than willing to help.
