3″ Nine Lives™ Paddle Tail
Built to get smoked. Designed to last.
The 3″ Nine Lives™ Paddle Tail is the perfect balance between finesse and power — compact enough to draw strikes from pressured fish, yet bold enough to entice larger predators. Crafted from our proprietary Nine Lives™ soft body material, this bait offers unmatched durability, flexibility, and lifelike swimming action that consistently triggers strikes in both freshwater and saltwater.
Each bait is scent-infused using our custom DSS formula, producing a powerful trail that keeps fish committed even in tough conditions. Whether you’re casting for bass, redfish, snook, trout, or flounder, the 3″ Paddle Tail delivers consistent vibration, body roll, and scent dispersion that outperform traditional soft plastics.
The 3″ Nine Lives™ Paddle Tail is built to match the Jonah Lure Works 3″ Paddle Head Jig Head for proper balance, clean swimming action, tail kick, and secure bait control.

Pro Tips
- Use slow retrieves for pressured fish or finesse scenarios.
- Try a lift-and-fall presentation to mimic wounded baitfish.
- For topwater wake action, rig weedless on a chin-lock EWG hook.
- For deeper or current-heavy zones, pair with the 3″ Paddle Head Jig Head in White Glow or the 3″ Paddle Head Jig Head in Raw.
- Always store in original packaging to maintain scent and material integrity.

Not sure if it’s the scent or the design of the paddle, but this lure gets them to inhale it! They are tough and can take a beating aswell! I always have a Rod rigged up with a Jonah paddle!
Caught my first redfish on Jonah! I’ve caught many since then! Greenback is my favorite color!
Big snook and redfish love them! One paddle tail will last us multiple days of Fishing
I personally love using the 3" paddletail in both salt and fresh water. I've caught a plenty of crappie and bass fishing the ponds/lakes near me, and I've caught small jacks up to slot snook of the jetties using the 3" paddletail. I personally love the white pearl glo, followed closely by the greenback. The action is awesome on these, and I love that they can go through a beating and bites and survive, unlike some of the other competitors that produce paddletails.
I found yall on instagram and ordered right away I will definitely be getting some more soon !!
