How to pre-make Z-Man Paddle Tail
Cut 0.5 inch front of 2.5 inch Z-Man paddle tail to make it 2 inches
Use a needle with 30lb braid line front front of paddle tail to make line stay straight inside the paddle tail.
Cut the line, take out the needle and put #2 or #3 size bait holder hook.
Rotate the string so tied part goes front of paddle tail.
Put the swivel front of paddle tail
A reason I put hook point same direction as paddle tail is because hook point is heavy and I wanted paddle tail to swim proper ways. I believe if I put the hook the other ways, the paddle tail will swim upside down.
