Creature Soft Plastic Tails – The Ultimate 5 1/2" Multi-Species Bait Trailer

Upgrade the profile, water displacement, and action of your favorite lures with these premium Creature Soft Plastic Tails. Measuring a versatile 5 1/2" in length, these trailers are engineered to add significant bulk and deliver an enticing underwater presentation that predatory fish simply cannot resist.

While they are primarily designed to serve as a high-performance jig or musky bait trailer, their intelligent design allows you to rig them in countless ways to match changing water conditions. From pulsing behind a heavy bass jig to adding lifelike action to the back of a massive musky bucktail, these soft plastics are a must-have addition to your tackle box.

Stocked Colors Available

Choose the perfect match for your local waters. We currently stock these highly effective trailers in two distinct, field-tested colorways:

• Brown: A natural, earthy tone that perfectly mimics crawfish, bluegill, and bottom-dwelling forage. This is an excellent choice for clear to stained waters.

• Motoroil: A classic, light-reactive shade that shifts colors depending on water depth and sunlight intensity. Exceptional for adding visibility in murky or overcast conditions.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• Dual-Purpose Trailer: Sized perfectly at 5 1/2 inches to bulk up traditional bass jigs or serve as an active trailer on large musky lures and inline spinners.

• Endless Rigging Versatility: Though optimized as a trailer, the streamlined body can easily be rigged Texas-style, Carolina-style, or adapted for custom heavy-duty rigs.

• High-Action Leaf Paddle: The specialized paddle tail catches water effortlessly, creating a reliable, realistic kicking motion even during slow, methodical retrieves.

• Premium Toughness: Formulated from a durable yet flexible soft plastic blend built to withstand the razor-sharp teeth of muskies and the hard strikes of big bass.

Pro Tip: Triggering Follows from Big Predators

When rigging the 5 1/2" tail as a musky bait trailer on an inline spinner or bucktail, try trimming about a half-inch off the nose before threading it onto the hook shank. This shortens the profile slightly and tightens up the tail's swimming vibrations, making it an excellent trick for triggering strikes from large fish that are actively following your bait but hesitant to commit.
