🐟WIN a Hamper of the NEW McArthy 6.5” Kob Slinky!🐟
Big fish eat big baits and that’s why we’re redefining our big fish paddle tail game with the new 6.5 Kob Slinky. We didn’t just scale up the 5.5” inch version. We rebuilt it with a bigger body, tapered tail and a completely new paddle to power it. The result: More strike triggering body roll, more water displacement and most importantly bigger bites. Rigging is simple on a jig head, Wide Gap or Swimbait Hook and it is available in 17 Colours suited to both fresh and saltwater If you’re after trophy Kob or Monster Bass the new 6’5” Slinky will be the game changer so many anglers have been asking for.

Ticked Off the List

We’ve been chasing one of these on a paddle tail for a long time — and this holiday it finally came together. Not a monster, but an epic milestone pulled straight from the bricks.

The McArthy Slinky Paddle Tail proved once again it’s a must when fishing between the bricks — rigged weedless and built to get it done where others can’t.

Proof that persistence pays off.

The McArthy UMZIMVUBU 5.5” kob slinky had the kob absolutely frothing over this new colour. There’s just something about McArthy’s blend of profile, flex and action that gets fish switching on instantly. Whatever McArthy put into their paddle tails just seems to work, time and time again.

The UMZIMVUBU colour throws out a perfect mix of contrast and translucency, giving it a super natural presentation in the water — deadly in estuaries, mouths and working banks with a bit of colour.

Fish With The Best

If you’re serious about kob fishing with artificials, fish with the best paddle tails on the market — fish with McArthy Baits. Clean action, strong scent path, correct density and consistent manufacturing… all the little things that matter when you want confidence in every cast.

The Right Tools Matter
Running the Okuma X Series dropshot rod gave me the perfect combination of tip sensitivity and backbone to work the plastic through the zone at the right speed. Good gear makes a huge difference when fishing soft plastics, especially when kob are tracking and tapping before committing.

With the right rod, you feel:
✔the lure swim
✔ the bottom contact
✔ the taps and bumps
✔ and most importantly — when to set and keep pressure

Location & Presentation Are Key
Putting the plastic into the strike lane was the game changer. Kob sit on ledges, drop-offs and current seams waiting for prey to swing past — get the lure in front of them and they don’t hesitate for long.

Sometimes small baits equal BIG Bass! Check out this 3-kilo plus taken on our super Finesse McSlice Worm. Its thing profile and finesse tail will deliver bites when every other bait in your tackle box is being ignored. Try them on a dropshot, Texas or Mojo rig when the water temps drop and bass get lethargic.

Designed to stand out without looking unnatural, the Umzimvubu Gum colour pairs a muted pumpkin back with a gummy pink underside — a combination that creates contrast, movement definition, and enhanced visibility across changing water clarity. Predators lock onto it quickly, whether they’re tracking in clean estuary water or hunting in stirred-up surf zones.

The Umzimvubu Gum variant is offered across the Paddle Tail, Jerk Minnow, and Kob Slinky profiles, giving anglers a versatile option for targeting species across retrieves, rigging styles, and habitats.

In short: if you’re looking for a colour that shows up, holds shape in the water, and convinces fish to commit — this one checks all the boxes.

Why anglers should try the McArthy Umzimvubu Gum colour soft plastics

A bold twist on a proven classic, the Umzimvubu Gum colour combines a natural green-pumpkin back with a bright pink gum belly for maximum contrast and visibility in the water. This dual-tone profile helps trigger reaction bites from predatory species in both clear and stained conditions.

The colourway is inspired by the Umzimvubu River, which meets the ocean at Port St Johns — a place known as the “home of the hippopotamus” in isiXhosa and famous for its rich coastal ecosystem and fishing heritage.

The Umzimvubu Gum colour is available across the Jerk Minnow, Paddle Tail and Kob Slinky ranges, making it a versatile option for multiple techniques and target species.
