Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver 4.20

The Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver 4.20 is one of the most recognizable flipping and pitching baits in bass fishing, combining a compact creature-bait profile with subtle action and a heavily salted body.

Designed to imitate both crawfish and baitfish, the Sweet Beaver can be flipped, pitched, punched or Texas rigged around the heavy vegetation and shallow cover where largemouth bass live.

For Florida anglers fishing hydrilla, Kissimmee grass, lily pads, docks and thick mats, the Sweet Beaver is a proven heavy-cover presentation that belongs in the tackle box.

Built for Flipping & Pitching

The Sweet Beaver was built around one of the most productive ways to catch bass — putting a soft plastic directly into high-percentage cover.

Its compact profile allows the bait to move cleanly through vegetation while still providing enough bulk and action to attract quality fish.

Flip or pitch it around:

• Hydrilla
• Kissimmee grass
• Lily pads
• Reeds
• Docks
• Laydowns
• Matted vegetation
• Shallow cover
• Canal edges
• Isolated grass

Excellent Punching Bait

When Florida bass move underneath thick vegetation, the Sweet Beaver is an excellent bait for punching.

Its compact shape allows it to penetrate heavy cover without excessive appendages constantly catching on vegetation.

Pair it with the appropriate heavy tungsten weight and stout flipping setup to reach fish underneath mats and dense grass.

Once the bait breaks through the cover, its profile and subtle movement give bass an easy target.

Baitfish & Crustacean Profile

One reason the Sweet Beaver is so versatile is that it doesn't imitate only one type of forage.

Reaction Innovations designed its silhouette and action to suggest both baitfish and crustaceans.

That allows anglers to fish the same bait effectively across a wide range of water conditions, forage types and seasons.

Heavily Salted

Reaction Innovations loads the Sweet Beaver with a substantial amount of salt.

The added salt contributes weight and changes the way the bait behaves in the water while giving it the feel bass anglers have come to expect from the Beaver series.

Choosing the Right Reaction Innovations Beaver

The Sweet Beaver 4.20 and Spicy Beaver 4.0 share the Beaver name, but they're designed to provide distinctly different presentations.

Choose the Sweet Beaver when you want the classic Beaver presentation for flipping, pitching, Texas rigging and punching heavy cover. Its more controlled action and compact profile make it an excellent choice when you want to put a bait directly into vegetation without excessive movement.

Choose the Spicy Beaver 4.0 when you want more swimming action and thumping vibration. Its active twin tails make it particularly effective as a swim-jig trailer or when you want a more aggressive presentation while punching or fishing around grass.

Sweet Beaver = compact, proven flipping presentation.

Spicy Beaver = higher-action swimming and punching presentation.

Neither replaces the other. They give you two different ways to attack the same water depending on how much action the fish want.

Made for Florida Bass Fishing

The Sweet Beaver is particularly well suited for Florida because so much of our bass fishing revolves around vegetation.

It's an excellent choice for:

• Lake Okeechobee-style vegetation
• Hydrilla
• Kissimmee grass
• Lily pads
• Hyacinth
• Matted grass
• Shallow canals
• Ponds
• Docks
• Heavy shoreline cover

Whether you're making short pitches to isolated grass or punching through a thick mat, the Sweet Beaver gives you a compact presentation that can reach fish other baits can't.

Why Choose the Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver?

The Sweet Beaver has remained a staple in bass fishing because it does something extremely important well: it gets into heavy cover and catches fish.

Premier Tackle Take

The Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver 4.20 is almost tailor-made for Florida bass fishing.

We have grass everywhere, and some of the biggest bass spend a lot of their time buried underneath it. The Sweet Beaver gives you a compact bait that can get through that cover without unnecessary appendages constantly hanging up.

We'd use it for flipping isolated grass, pitching docks and reeds, or punching heavy hydrilla and vegetation when fish move underneath the canopy.

The Sweet Beaver and Spicy Beaver also make an excellent two-bait system. Start with the Sweet Beaver when you want a more controlled heavy-cover presentation. Move to the Spicy Beaver when you want more thump and swimming action.

Simple, proven and extremely effective around Florida vegetation.
