Fish a Paddle Tail Minnow on Jigheads or as a Trailer
Whether you're swimming a jighead rig or adding movement to a spinnerbait, the Whack Em SwimN Minnow gives you a soft plastic baitfish profile with a hard-thumping paddle tail. Its ribbed body displaces water during the retrieve, while the belly slot provides another rigging feature. Available in 3.5-inch and 5-inch sizes, this versatile swimbait works as a standalone soft plastic presentation or a trailer for moving baits.
Why Choose the Whack Em SwimN Minnow?

Real-World Performance
Rig the SwimN Minnow on a jighead when you want the soft plastic to serve as the primary swimming lure. For a different setup, use it as a spinnerbait or buzzbait trailer, where its paddle tail adds movement behind the main bait. The two available lengths let you adjust the trailer or standalone profile without changing lure styles.
Keep One Minnow Profile Ready for Multiple Setups
Add the SwimN Minnow to your soft plastic rotation when you want a paddle tail that can move between a jighead presentation and your spinnerbait or buzzbait setups. Choose your size and color, then pair it with the rigging hardware for your preferred presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Whack Em SwimN Minnow come pre-rigged?
The SwimN Minnow is a soft plastic swimbait intended for rigging on a jighead or belly hook, or for use as a moving-bait trailer. The product listing describes the soft plastic baits rather than a pre-rigged lure, so do not assume hooks or jigheads are included.
Can I use the SwimN Minnow as a spinnerbait or buzzbait trailer?
Yes. The SwimN Minnow is specifically described for use as a trailer on both spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. Its paddle tail adds a swimming movement behind the primary lure. Choose a size that suits the bait you're pairing it with.
What is the purpose of the belly slot?
The belly slot is a molded feature on the underside of the soft plastic body that accommodates certain hook-rigging approaches. The product listing does not specify an exact hook size or compatible hook model, so select your rigging hardware for the size and setup you're using.
How many SwimN Minnows are included in a package?
Each bag contains 10 SwimN Minnow soft plastic baits. The product is offered in 3.5-inch and 5-inch sizes, with color options selected on the product page.
