Hunthouse Squid Soft Swimbait, Glow Bionic Paddle Tail Lure
This soft squid swimbait combines a paddle tail with trailing tentacle skirts for a lifelike, multi-action profile in the water. The glow-in-the-dark body holds light and releases it slowly, giving off a subtle glow that draws attention in stained water or low light. The soft silicone construction moves naturally on the fall and during a steady retrieve, with the tentacles pulsing even when the bait pauses.

Product description
This soft squid swimbait combines a paddle tail with trailing tentacle skirts for a lifelike, multi-action profile in the water. The glow-in-the-dark body holds light and releases it slowly, giving off a subtle glow that draws attention in stained water or low light. The soft silicone construction moves naturally on the fall and during a steady retrieve, with the tentacles pulsing even when the bait pauses.
Built for largemouth and smallmouth around structure, this lure works well fished on a slow swim or worked erratically near cover where grouper, bass, and other predators key in on squid and baitfish forage. The pre-rigged treble hook system means it is ready to tie on and fish right out of the pack.
How to fish it
- Cast past cover such as brush piles, docks, or rock structure and let the bait sink to the target depth.
- Use a slow, steady retrieve to let the paddle tail and tentacles work naturally without extra rod action.
- Add occasional pauses during the retrieve so the tentacles continue pulsing and draw reaction strikes.
- Fish it during low light, dawn, or dusk to get the most benefit from the glow-in-the-dark body.
