TAIYU 20g Jig Head Soft Lure – T-Tail Silicone Swimbait With Spinner Blade For Bass, Pike And Trout

If you like your lures to do more than one job, this TAIYU 20g jig head soft lure is very much your kind of trouble. You get a metal jig head for fast sink and bottom contact, a soft silicone T-tail for swimbait-style kick and a small spinning spoon blade that throws flash and vibration. All that in a single 20g package, available in five colours – Blue, Luminous, Orange, Pink, Purple and Clear – so you can match the mood and the water.

The product details spell it out: material is metal + silicone, weight is 20g, you get one lure per pack, and the main feature is that when you drag the bait, the “glitter” (that spoon blade) spins at high speed, kicking up flash and a bit of splash to pull fish in. It sits in the Fishing Lures → Soft Plastics → Paddle tails family on the site, but thanks to that blade and jig head it behaves like an underspin swimbait and a small spoon rolled into one.

Why This 20g Jig Head Soft Lure Works

Swimbaits on jig heads and underspins aren’t exactly a secret any more. Pros on Wired2Fish talk about how a small paddle-tail on an underspin is one of the best ways to cover water and find active bass, especially when baitfish are mid-depth. Likewise, swimbait guides on Bassmaster keep coming back to that simple “boot-tail on a jig head” rig as something every angler should have.

This TAIYU 20g jig head soft lure takes that proven idea and bakes it into a ready-to-go package:

• Jig head weight: 20g is a lovely all-rounder – heavy enough to get down in 10–20 ft of water or punch through a bit of current, but not so big it feels like you are hurling a brick.
• Silicone T-tail body: soft plastic that kicks at low speed and looks like a little baitfish or shad cruising or fleeing.
• Spinner spoon blade: a small metal blade on the belly that spins as you pull, adding flash and vibration just like the underspin jig heads you see in Wired2Fish’s underspin articles.
• Five colours: bright, natural and even a luminous option so you can fish clear, stained and low-light conditions without overthinking it.

Add it up and you have a lure that can be crawled near the bottom, slow-rolled mid-depth or burned higher in the water column – and in every case, that tail and blade are doing the sales pitch for you.

How To Fish This 20g Jig Head Soft Lure

The nice thing about a 20g jig head soft lure like this is that you do not need a degree in lure theory to make it work. If you can cast, count and wind, you are most of the way there.

1. Slow-roll along the bottom

This is the bread-and-butter retrieve for bass and pike:

1. Cast past your target – a point, weed edge, rock pile, drop-off or channel bend.
2. Let the lure sink on a semi-tight line, counting it down until it hits bottom.
3. Lift the rod slightly and start a slow, steady retrieve, just fast enough that you feel the blade buzzing and the tail kicking.
4. If you feel constant “grinding”, speed up a touch or lift the rod to keep it just off bottom.

Swimbait pieces on Bassmaster and Outdoor Life make a big deal of that “slow and close” approach – letting the bait just tick the structure fish are sitting on. This TAIYU 20g jig head soft lure is built exactly for that game.

2. Mid-depth slow crank

When fish are suspended off the bottom – classic shad-chasing bass or trout cruising mid-water – a simple slow crank can be deadly:

• Cast long, count it down to the depth you want (e.g. five seconds for about 5–6 ft, ten seconds for deeper).
• Wind at a smooth, medium pace to keep it tracking at that level.
• Throw in little rod twitches every now and then to make the T-tail flare and the blade kick harder.

Underspin and swimbait content on Wired2Fish shows just how effective this is for roaming fish – you are letting the lure mimic a small baitfish that is just minding its own business until something toothy decides otherwise.

3. Burn and kill

In warmer water or when you see bait being chased, you can fish it more aggressively:

1. Make a long cast across windblown banks, points or over submerged weed.
2. Crank the lure quickly for a few metres so it rises and speeds up.
3. Suddenly kill the retrieve and let it flutter on a semi-slack line for a second or two.
4. Repeat burn–kill all the way back.

That sudden stop makes the 20g jig head soft lure stall and drop like a wounded baitfish. A lot of bites come right on that pause as predators pounce on what looks like an easy meal.

4. River seams and current

With pike and trout on rivers, use the weight to your advantage. Cast slightly upstream or across the flow, let the lure swing down and across, and use small lifts to keep it bouncing and flashing just off the stones. Articles on pike gear from places like Field & Stream constantly mention spoons and spinners as pike staples; this is basically a modern spin on that theme – you are giving them soft body plus metal flash.

When To Use It

You could chuck this TAIYU 20g jig head soft lure almost any time there are baitfish around, but there are a few situations where it really earns its space in the box:

• Windy banks: that 20g head cuts through wind and lets you bomb long casts while most lighter lures are tumbling.
• Stained or low-light water: in murky conditions, fish lean on their lateral line. The combo of thumping tail and spinning blade gives them plenty of vibration to track, just like the spoons and spinners that keep turning up in “best pike lures” and multi-species lure lists.
• Post-front sulk: when bass bury in the first break or sit off points after a cold front, a swimbait near the bottom is less in-your-face than a big crankbait but still covers water.
• When you are not sure what to throw: guides on soft swimbaits for bass often call them “do-it-all” tools – they just look like food. This 20g jig head soft lure falls squarely into that camp.

Does It Actually Catch Fish?

Soft swimbaits and underspins feature in pretty much every “best bass lure” and “confidence bait” write-up these days. Pieces on Wired2Fish and Outdoor Life highlight them as consistent producers for both numbers and bigger bites when fish are eating baitfish.

On the pike and trout side, you see the same story – spoons, spinners and small baitfish imitations make up a huge part of the “must-have” lists on Field & Stream and in countless threads on Reddit. This TAIYU 20g jig head soft lure blends all of that – spoon flash, spinner vibration and soft-bait realism – into one bit of kit.

It is not a magic wand, but if you put it in front of fish that are already keyed in on small bait, it very much has that “this might be expensive for my wallet” feel to it.

Gear Pairing

You do not need anything too exotic to fish a 20g jig head soft lure, but getting the basics right makes it smoother and stops you feeling under- or over-gunned.

• Rod: a 7’–7’3″ medium-heavy rod with a fast action is spot-on. Enough backbone to launch 20g and crack the hook home, but still with a bit of tip to cushion surges.
• Reel: a 6.3:1–7.3:1 baitcaster gives you a nice balance – fast enough to pick up slack on the strike, slow enough that you can crawl the bait without thinking.
• Line: 20–30 lb braid to a 10–15 lb fluoro leader is a great all-round choice for bass. If you are leaning harder into pike territory, think about a wire or heavy fluoro bite leader.

If you are still dialling in combos, the Best Bass Fishing Setup article on BassFishingTips.US lays out sensible rod, reel and line pairings that match this style of lure really well. For braid, something like the PE Braided Wire Fishing Line by FTK in the shop does the job nicely without breaking the bank.

Inside your own box, you might pair this TAIYU with a straight metal option like the Outkit Metal Mini Spoon Spinner for days when they want pure flash, and a more traditional soft plastic like the Meredith paddle tails when fish are up shallower.
