Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper
The Skinny Dipper is about 4-5″ long, which is a little on the bigger side when it comes to soft plastics for inshore fishing.
I like to rig it on a 4/0 wide-gap hook because this size hook gets a little farther back in the bait, which helps increase my hookup ratio.
I prefer an unweighted worm hook when I’m targeting trout or bass in the grass and I’m just buzzing it across the surface.
But if I’m fishing water up to three feet or four feet deep and want to get to the bottom (like when I’m targeting redfish), then I prefer a weighted swimbait hook, such as the Owner TwistLock hook (4/0, 1/8 oz).
Check out the video above to see how to I rig them.
As far as time of year, this lure is best in late summer and fall because that’s when baitfish are at their biggest.
You can get the Skinny Dipper from our shop here.
Reaction Innovations Little Dipper
The Little Dipper is a little smaller that the Skinny Dipper at 3.5″ long.
And since it’s shorter, I like to rig it on a smaller hook.
I like to use a 3/0 wide-gap hook and I’ll choose weighted or unweighted based on the same scenarios as I described above for the Skinny Dipper.
This size lure can be great year-round, as I would prefer to use a smaller bait than a larger one in most cases.
You can get the Little Dipper from our shop here.

Hey Tony……….just wondering why you prefer the unweighted 4/0 worm hook on the larger plastic rather than the 4/0 unweighted twistlock hook? You seem to like the twistlocks in other situations.
Hey Gary!
I just happen to have a ton of the 4/0 worm hooks from bass fishing and don’t wanna spend extra money if it isn’t needed.
