Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper
2 low in stock - Ready To Ship
The Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper is a 5-inch soft plastic paddle-tail swimbait for bass fishing around grass, along cover edges, and over offshore structure. Its slender body suits several rigging styles, so you can change depth and presentation without changing the bait's profile. Each pack contains 7 baits in your selected color.
Why choose the Skinny Dipper?
- Paddle-tail action: The tail moves on the retrieve, giving a swimming presentation to a slim baitfish profile.
- Flexible rigging: Fish it weightless, on a weighted hook or jighead, or on a Texas or Carolina rig.
- Salt-infused plastic: Reaction Innovations adds salt to the body.

Choose your presentation
Try a weightless, concealed-hook rig over shallow grass. A weighted swimbait hook helps work deeper along vegetation edges while keeping the point protected. In open water, a jighead offers another way to control depth. A Carolina rig is an option for working humps and creek channels.
Start with a color that resembles the local forage. Money Shot/Green, Bad Shad/Green, and Guntersville Shad are options to compare for a baitfish presentation; White Trash offers a light, solid alternative. Use the variant photos to compare finishes and the selector to check current availability.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Rig it straight. Mark the hook exit point before threading the bait. A bent body can roll; make a short test retrieve beside the boat or bank and adjust before casting.
- Find the slowest useful retrieve. Watch the tail near the surface, then use a pace that keeps it moving. Adjust weight when you need more depth instead of relying only on retrieve speed.
- Check hook clearance. The existing rigging guidance allows hooks up to a 6/0 superline size, but actual fit varies by hook design. Make sure the body can compress and expose the point without stretching the bait.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the Skinny Dipper, and how many come in a pack?
This model is 5 inches long and comes in a 7-pack.
Can I fish it without a weight?
Yes. Weightless rigging is one of the manufacturer's recommended options, especially worth trying for a shallow presentation.
Is it suitable for fishing around grass?
Yes. Conceal the hook point for working around vegetation, and adjust weight to the depth. No rig is completely snag-proof; clear grass from the hook and tail when needed.
Can I use it on a jighead or Carolina rig?
Yes. Reaction Innovations lists both methods. Match the hook to the body and keep the tail free to move.
