RX Dragon Tail

Description

The RX Dragon Tail is a handcrafted soft plastic bladed jig trailer built for SoCal inshore fishing — and that’s exactly what it was designed around from day one.

The body shape translates blade vibration straight into tail kick — tight on the retrieve, active on the fall. I wanted a trailer that could keep up with the head’s action without overpowering it, and that’s what this does. Your bladed jig tracks straighter, hangs in the strike zone longer, and when you kill it and let it drop, the Dragon Tail does the work on calico bass, sand bass, and spotted bay bass.

That body shape also does something I didn’t plan for — rig it weedless on a Texas rig and the hook naturally tucks under the scale detail. It’s one of the most weedless trailers I’ve fished without doing anything extra. That profile also reminds me of a razor clam, which is real forage for spotted bay bass and sand bass in SoCal harbors.

It’s also been solid on swim jigs, jika rigs, drop shot, and belly-weighted hooks as a standalone swimbait. Subtle enough for pressured fish, bold enough to trigger reaction bites.

When fish want a craw profile instead, the RX Skeleton Craw is the alternative.

How to rig it: Thread onto your bladed jig collar for the standard presentation — pair it with the Cheapskate for a fully [FISH]rx SoCal setup. For a weedless standalone, Texas rig it on a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG hook from Blacktail Fishing. The bladed jig guide covers how to fish the Dragon Tail on the pop-and-pause retrieve specifically.

Available in 3 sizes. Made in Los Angeles in small batches.
