Default Paddletail vs Eel bait
Searched the web and can't really find much on the topic. Figured Some of you trout masters might. Do you use one more than the other? Or paddles for reds eels for trout? Use one based on conditions? Thanks in advanced.

I prefer paddle or curl tails when its warmer and the fish are more active ,and the eel type when i fish slower during the colder months.

100% eels last time I used a paddle tail was back in 1980''s when I fished with cocahoes with my old man

Until I stop catching with straight tail baits....don't see change

Ex.p . Sand eels,sparkle beetles,grubs, tidle surge split tail etc.

Depends. Some days Ill throw a sandeel with no bites and put on a hackberry hustler and get bit or a swimbait and get bit, some days Ill get no bites on a paddle tail and get bit on a eel bait. Just depends I guess. If I am not getting bit I will change baits often to see what they want.

Paddle or curly tails seem to work better for me.
