Meet the DeLong Twister Tad, one of the easiest and most effective baits you’ll ever fish. We took our proven 3″ tadpole body, added internal weight for longer casts, and finished it with a high-action twister tail that drives fish crazy.
When retrieved, the head rocks like a crankbait, while the tail flutters and pulses — creating a natural prey signal that bass, crappie, bluegill, trout, and even pike attack without hesitation.
✅ Natural Tadpole Profile – Fish instinctively feed on tadpoles, especially in late spring.
✅ Built-In Weight – Cast farther and cover more water.
✅ Twister Tail Action – Adds movement and vibrations fish key into.
✅ Pre-Rigged & Ready to Fish – No rigging. No guesswork. Just tie on and go.
✅ Scent-Infused Soft Plastic – Fish hold the bait longer for better hooksets.
1. Straight Retrieve (Swimbait Style)
Just reel at a steady speed — the bait does the work.
2. Jerkbait Style
Twitch the rod tip for darting, fleeing action.
3. Bottom Bounce (Jigging Style)
Hop it along the bottom to imitate injured prey.
The Twister Tad shines in spring and early summer, when fish are feeding heavily and protecting beds.
It is also extremely effective around:
Grass edges
Weedlines
Shallow coves
Creek mouths
See our Best Bass Lures by Season Guide for seasonal patterns and retrieves.
The Twister Tad is also featured in our Best Crappie Lures Guide for year-round panfish success.
