Curly Paddle Tail Moves the Whole Body. Hollow Ribcage Collapses on the Strike. Two Baits in One. 5-Pack.
The Headbanger Lures BangerRibs is a hybrid soft bait built around a curly paddle tail that doesn't just kick — it drives movement through the entire main body section, swimming like an injured prey fish that predators can't ignore. The hollow ribcage collapses on the strike for maximum hookup capability regardless of hook type. Fish it as a swimbait imitating baitfish, or drag it along the bottom like a grub or worm. One bait, two completely different presentations. Available in 2-3/4" and 3-1/2" (5-pack) in 11 colors.
Key Features
Curly Paddle Tail Drives the Body — the perfect combination of curly tail and paddle tail; the tail's action transfers through the entire body for a full, injured-baitfish swimming motion unlike standard paddle tails
Hollow Ribcage Construction — collapses instantly on the strike for excellent hookup capability with any hook type — jig head, drop shot hook, or weedless setup
Two Baits in One — swim it like a baitfish on a jig head, or drag and hop it along the bottom like a grub; two entirely different presentations from a single bait
Realistic Eyes & Detailed Profile — lifelike appearance that holds up at close inspection; effective on pressured fish in clear water
Deadly Through the Water Column — effective from surface to bottom for bass, perch, and panfish
2 Sizes — 2-3/4" body (3.4" swimming length with tail extended) | 3-1/2" body (4.5" swimming length with tail extended)
11 Colors — Lime Shad | Goldhead | Electric Shad | Green Pumpkin | Sexy Shad | Black Blue Flake | Green Lantern | Pearl White | Peanut Butter & Jelly | Goby | Motoroil
How to Fish It
Jig Head (Swimbait) — thread on a standard or RockerHead jig head and swim it at any depth; the curly paddle tail drives full-body action from the slowest retrieve to a moderate burn; deadly for bass and perch targeting suspended baitfish
Bottom Drag & Hop (Grub/Worm) — drag slowly along the bottom with occasional hops; the ribbed body kicks up silt on the drag and the tail wags on every pause; effective over rocky structure, sand, and hard bottom
Drop Shot — nose-hook and fish vertically; the tail keeps working with any line movement and on the drop; ideal for finesse presentations over deep structure or in post-front conditions
Size Selection — 2-3/4" for finesse and panfish applications or when fish are keying on small forage; 3-1/2" for bass and larger perch, or when you need more profile and action
Color Selection — Sexy Shad, Pearl White, and Electric Shad for clear water and shad imitation; Green Pumpkin and Goby for bottom presentations; Black Blue Flake and Motoroil for night and stained water; Peanut Butter & Jelly and Green Lantern as reaction colors in off-color water
