About this product
Match the hatch is the oldest advice in fishing and it is right more often than not. Most of the small baitfish that queenfish, snapper, tilapia and bass eat are around four to five centimetres long, which is why a 4.5 cm soft plastic ends up being the size people reach for most.
The T-tail is a flat paddle hanging below the body. Water pressure makes it beat side to side, and the soft plastic means it starts working at a slow retrieve rather than needing speed – which matters, because slow is usually what catches.
Ice silver is a high-reflectivity finish rather than a colour in the ordinary sense. In clear water and good light it flashes on every beat of the tail, which is precisely what a small baitfish looks like from behind.
Fish it on a 3 to 10 g jig head, on a drop shot, or as a trailer. Around Dar es Salaam it takes queenfish, snapper, grunter, small trevally and mullet from jetties, creek mouths and rocks; inland it works on tilapia, bass, perch and small tigerfish.
