Full Product Description

Mudminnow Flash – 3.8” Paddle Tail Soft Plastic

Model: Dirty Shad

The Mudminnow Flash is a 3.8-inch paddle tail soft plastic designed as the “workhorse” of any inshore tackle box. Its realistic baitfish profile produces strong vibration in the water, making it ideal for dirty water applications or situations where fish are less aggressive.

On a straight retrieve, the Mudminnow Flash gets a reaction from fish that might not otherwise strike, making it perfect for anglers who want a simple, throw-and-retrieve option. Its responsive paddle tail also works well for anglers looking to twitch, slow-roll, or vary their retrieve to provoke strikes near structure, drains, or open flats.

The color pattern—watermelon top with pearl white belly and subtle blue flake accents—offers natural contrast and flash that stands out in dirty or clear water. Finished with a sweet watermelon scent, it encourages fish to bite and stay engaged longer.

Made from durable saltwater-grade plastic, the Mudminnow Flash can withstand repeated strikes from trout, redfish, flounder, and snook without tearing.
