Small Paddle Tail Swimbaits

For fishing tackle brands developing compact soft lure assortments, WHSF07 provides three sizes within the same ribbed paddle tail design.

The 5.5 cm version is the lightest option, suited to buyers developing smaller lure selections. The 6.5 cm version provides an intermediate size, while the 7 cm model offers the largest body and highest nominal weight in the series.

These differences matter when evaluating jig head compatibility. A hook that fits the 7 cm model may not be suitable for the shorter versions, and the same jig head weight may produce different swimming behavior across the range.

Buyers can compare the three sizes using their preferred jig heads before deciding which specifications to include in their retail collections.

Closely Ribbed Body and Tapered Profile

WHSF07 has a rounded front body followed by closely spaced ribs that extend toward the narrow tail stem.

The ribbed construction distinguishes this model from smooth-bodied paddle tail swimbaits and gives the lure a consistent textured profile across all three sizes.

For product evaluation, buyers should examine rib definition, body symmetry, and the transition between the thicker front section and the thinner tail connection.

These details are particularly relevant when comparing production samples or approving a custom color version, as incomplete molding can be more visible on closely ribbed surfaces.

Paddle Tail Design for Small Jig Head Presentations

The lure has a widened paddle connected to the body by a narrow, flexible stem.

This construction is intended to allow tail movement during retrieval while maintaining a compact overall lure profile.

For brands supplying small swimbaits with recommended jig heads, hook placement and tail clearance should be evaluated together. A hook extending too far toward the tail may restrict movement, while an unsuitable hook gap may affect rigging.

Sample testing with the intended jig head sizes provides a practical basis for product recommendations.

Soft PVC Construction

WHSF07 uses soft PVC material, providing the flexibility required for a ribbed body and narrow paddle tail connection.

When evaluating samples, buyers can compare the softness of the body, the flexibility of the tail stem, and how the lure responds after repeated bending and rigging.

If a brand has specific requirements for material softness or flexibility, these should be confirmed using physical reference samples rather than relying on general material descriptions.

Glow-in-the-Dark Color Option

The illustrated WHSF07 range includes a glow-in-the-dark finish identified as color 10#.

This option can be positioned as a separate retail SKU alongside conventional translucent, glitter, and two-tone colors.

For brands planning to advertise luminous performance, sample approval should consider the charging light source, exposure duration, and observation conditions.

Specific claims about glow brightness or duration should be based on agreed testing rather than appearance in promotional photographs.

Applications

Freshwater Fishing

WHSF07 is primarily intended for freshwater fishing with compact soft lures and light-tackle equipment.

The three sizes can be paired with appropriately selected jig heads for swimming presentations. Buyers developing lure-and-jig-head combinations should evaluate hook length, body fit, and tail movement for each size rather than using one rigging recommendation across the entire range.

Retrieval speed and jig head weight can influence the lure's swimming behavior. Testing the complete rig helps brands provide more reliable product information to their customers.

Target Species

Bass Fishing

WHSF07 is a suitable option for bass fishing product ranges that include compact baitfish-style soft plastics.

For brands already offering larger swimbaits, this series provides smaller alternatives without duplicating the dimensions of conventional 4-inch or 5-inch paddle tail models.

The three sizes allow distributors to select products according to local preferences for smaller lure profiles and light spinning tackle.

OEM & Private Label Customization

Custom Ribbed Paddle Tail Swimbaits for Fishing Brands

WH Fishing supports OEM and private label development of WHSF07 for fishing tackle brands, importers, and distributors.

Customization can focus on selecting existing sizes, developing brand-specific color patterns, and preparing suitable retail packaging.

Size Selection and SKU Planning

Buyers can select individual sizes or develop a coordinated three-size collection. Each specification should be identified separately in purchase orders, packaging artwork, and product labels to avoid confusion during production and distribution.

Custom Colors and Glitter Finishes

Color development can be based on physical references or supplied artwork.

For translucent and two-tone designs, buyers should confirm body transparency, back-to-belly contrast, glitter appearance, and the color of the paddle tail.

Approved physical samples help establish consistent expectations for finished production.

Glow Color Development

The existing 10# glow finish provides a reference for buyers interested in luminous soft baits.

Alternative glow colors or specific performance requirements can be reviewed for feasibility. Any requested brightness or duration standard should be established during sample evaluation.

Retail Packaging Customization

The standard packing specification is 50 pcs/box.

Brands requiring smaller retail packs, custom labels, or alternative packaging formats can provide their preferred presentation for review.

Packaging approval should cover pack quantity, product identification, artwork, barcode information, and the arrangement of lures inside the package.

Sample Approval

Before production, buyers should confirm the selected size, color reference, packaging specifications, and any agreed functional requirements.

For brands selling matched jig heads or rigging accessories, evaluating the lure together with those components is recommended.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

Inspection Priorities for Small Ribbed PVC Swimbaits

For WHSF07, the main production inspection priorities are the closely spaced ribs, thin tail connection, paddle formation, and consistency between the three size specifications.

Rib and Body Formation

The finished body should be checked for visible molding defects, incomplete ribs, excess flash, and deviations from the approved profile.

Tail Connection and Paddle Shape

The narrow tail stem and widened paddle should be reviewed for incomplete formation, damage, or unwanted deformation.

These areas are particularly important because their dimensions and flexibility can influence tail movement.

Size Identification

The 5.5, 6.5, and 7 cm versions should be identified and checked against their respective approved specifications.

Length and nominal weight should not be evaluated using one common reference for all three sizes.

Color and Glow Consistency

Translucent finishes, glitter distribution, and two-tone patterns should be compared with approved physical samples.

If specific luminous performance is required, the evaluation method and acceptance criteria should be agreed upon before production.

Packaging Verification

Finished packs should be checked for the correct size, color, quantity, product identification, and approved labeling.

WH Fishing coordinates product specifications and quality requirements according to the confirmed order and approved samples.
