Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver 4.20

Reaction Innovations' soft plastics have rapidly become one of the most sought-after choices in bass fishing. The difference is obvious the moment you hold one: Reaction Innovations has mastered two- and three-color pours that create striking swirls and two-tone finishes on the Sweet Beaver not seen in other baits. The design itself is another major reason for the lure's popularity. Developed by owner and pro angler Andre Moore from years on the water, the Sweet Beaver is compact and durable yet displaces a lot of water and delivers lively action in a wide range of situations.

The Sweet Beaver's profile includes forward-facing ribs along the body that generate strong pressure waves to attract bass and provide a tempting texture when a fish inhales the bait. A recessed centerline allows for cleaner hooksets, while the nose is molded thicker so it holds a hook securely without tearing. The long, flat beaver tail is textured on both the flat surfaces and the edges and can be split to create a twin-tail presentation—an attention to detail uncommon in many soft plastics. In addition, the bait features extra tails positioned at 90 degrees to the main beaver tail, ensuring enticing movement no matter which direction the lure is pulled.

Tommy Biffle used a 1-2-3 punch and flipped his way to victory at Wheeler in his most recent Elite Series win.

His go-to presentations included:

• A 3/8-ounce Lunker Lure Rattleback jig (black/blue) tipped with a Gene Larew Super Salt Biffle Craw (black/blue with sapphire-blue claws)
• A Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver 4.20 (black/red), Texas-rigged with a 5/16-ounce Tru-Tungsten Worm weight, a 4/0 Reaction Innovations BMF hook, and pegged with a Tru-Tungsten Peter T. Smart Peg
• An 8.5" Gene Larew Biffle-O lizard (black-neon), a hollow-body and hollow-tail lizard. He Texas-rigged it with the same weight and pegging system.
