V-Tails & Pintails – subtle softbaits for finesse predator fishing

V-Tails and Pintails are softbaits known for their subtle, realistic action and are designed specifically for finesse predator fishing. Their tight vibration and smooth gliding movement make them ideal for targeting perch and zander, especially in pressured waters where a natural presentation is crucial.

What are V-Tails and Pintails?

V-Tails and Pintails are slim soft plastic lures with a narrow tail that creates minimal water displacement. This results in a controlled action that is highly effective for cautious or inactive predator fish. These lures are commonly used for vertical fishing, jigging and finesse techniques.

Their design allows them to respond to even the smallest rod movements, making them perfect for cold water, clear water and pressured conditions.

When targeting perch and zander, V-Tails and Pintails are among the most effective soft lures available. Proven options include the Rapala CrushCity Stingman and the Rapala CrushCity The Stingman, both excellent for vertical fishing and jigging.

The Chasebaits Flacid Shad offers innovation and flexibility with an ultra-realistic action, while the LureJunks HuddSher stands out for its fine detail and softness, delivering a perfect finesse presentation.
