When Mister Twister first introduced the curly tail grub, my older brother was quick to use this bait. He proved its effectiveness to me several times. We had been fishing and had caught a few bass early one morning, but hadn't had a strike in over an hour. Moving to a small point,he began casting a 3" grub and caught 4 keeper fish in 5 cast. Counting the grub down, and reeling with a slow retrieve, as long as the grub was coming just over the weeds, he caught a fish.One of my first lessons in speed and depth. I've carried grubs for many years, and they have always produced. They also do double duty as jig or spinnerbait trailers, and larger sizes can be Texas rigged and hopped or swam on or near bottom. Some that I've used are Mister Twister, Riverside grubs from Wal Mart, and the Charlie Brewer 3" paddle tail grub, rigged on a slider head. I'd like to try the Rage tail grub too.My older brother got to using a grub Every time we went fishing to the point that I started calling him a grubby kind of guy. If your a novice fisherman, and new to bass fishing, I would urge you to pack some plastic grubs along. Sometimes in all this new bass fishing stuff, a simple rig is still the best. Keep your rig simple, and focus on speed and depth control, the real key to catching bass consistently. I know many smallmouth fisherman use them, but they can work just as well on largemouth bass too. Simple? Yes. Effective? You bet. Glen has a great video on this site, and there's much info available on grub fishing. Are you still fishing grubs for bass? I've been a "grubby" kind of guy for years now.
