Reaction Innovations Double Wide Beaver

The Reaction Innovations Double Wide Beaver is a 5.2-inch soft plastic creature bait for bass anglers who want a bulky flipping presentation around cover. Its broad body and paddle-style appendages offer a larger profile than the original Sweet Beaver. Each pack contains 6 baits in your selected color.

Built for a bigger presentation

• Broad, ribbed body: Adds texture and bulk when a small finesse bait is not the presentation you want.
• Paddle-style appendages: Give the bait its distinctive Beaver silhouette as you lift and drop it.
• Cover-focused design: A concealed-hook Texas rig lets you present this substantial profile around brush, vegetation, and other cover.

Rigging and color selection

Reaction Innovations recommends a stout rod and a hook no smaller than 5/0. Choose a hook with enough gap for the body to collapse away from the point. Match the rod's rating, line, and weight to the cover and total rig weight.

For a Texas rig, use enough weight to reach the target while retaining control. Around dense vegetation, the bait's bulk may require a different weight or entry angle than a smaller creature bait. For a compact alternative, compare the Smallie Beaver 3.5-inch.

Watermelon Red Flake is a natural-color starting point in clearer water. Black/Red, Hematoma, or June Bug are options when you want a darker silhouette. Compare the variant photos with the forage and water clarity where you fish.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Check the whole rig before pitching. Compress the bait by hand to confirm the hook point can clear the plastic. A large hook label alone does not guarantee enough gap.
2. Use the lightest weight that reaches your target. Start with control and cover penetration, then adjust. If the bait hangs on vegetation, change the entry angle or weight before forcing it through.
3. Keep the bulky profile centered. Thread the bait straight and recheck it after a fish or snag. Torn or bunched plastic can obstruct the hook point and change how the bait falls.
