Grandebass Plastics

[KentuckyDave]

Has anyone ever tried these baits and what do you think about them?

[Marty]

In my opinion, virtually all soft plastics catch fish, although I'm not saying they're all created equal. Looking at these, I see no reason why these would be an exception. For example, their beaver knockoff, the Beav'r Claws, probably wouldn't look much different to the bass than the original thing.

 

If I used them I'd have no more or less confidence in them than with similar lures.

Yes. They are great, but Rage tails are waaay better.

Seriously though I love, LOVE them as much as LMG loves Shimano. The rattlesnake, junebug redflake is my number one and trophy hunter is a close second favorite color. They produce some big fish for me, fish in profile pic is a victim. Fish weightless or with a 1/16 or 1/8 oz bullet weight, flipped to structure, hopped, dragged, swam. they have a nice gentle lazy wiggle to them, I use them any condition any time of the year. They are nice weedless because you can hook the rings, they do tear since it is a thinner area the hook is in, but the plastic they are made of is pretty durable not that soft, average 3-4 fish on them. They are scented too. The megtails are good too, I gave a pack to my buddy in red bug and he is a believer now.

I'm a big fan of the Rattlesnakes, Honchos and  Mutants.  They make a nice bait with a good scent.

The Rattlesnakes and baby rattlesnakes are a favorite of mine to use for carolina rigs.  They caught me some nice size fish.  And they do have a VERY pungent garlic odor

Their 4.5  and their 6.5 Rattlesnakes are fantastic.  

 

The baits have a TON of action and a very potent garlic scent. Though the 6.5 is a good thick profile worm (though its actually pretty skinny), it has a wonderful shimmy to it and works great on a shakey head as well.  I mostly texas rig them with an unpegged bullet weight, but they also do great on carolina rig and drop shot.  Regardless of the technique, I always run the hook through the head, come back through the body and texpose the hook, never hooking it wacky style.  Many people wacky rig them and have success, but I can't seem to do well with them that way for some reason.  One technique that you dont see them used often with is a drop shot, but a slight jiggle of the rod tip creates a lot of action with these baits on a drop shot and has resulted in some good limits.

I hear the baby rattlesnakes are great on a drop shot when looking for a small profile type bait. Havent tried those myslef though

I have used the mutant in the past, I bought a couple of packs on clearance. Good action, caught some fish, but boy do they smell strongly!
