Super User the reel ess Posted January 18, 2016 Super User Posted January 18, 2016 I picked up a bag at Cabela's. How do you rig them? Jighead? What style? I am a T-rigging disciple so that's probably my go-to. But if there's an advantage to be had, I'll take it. Quote

primetime Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Good Jig Trailers for slowing fall and adding bulk to skirts on jigs...Quick option if you want a jig to look bigger, flutter down slowly since drop speed on a jig is so imporant and a spider grub gives a Jig some added "Flare"..I pitch spider grubs on same tackle as any texas rig. If heavy cover, heavy guage hook, pegged sinker, but they can work on a jighead etc...Great bait. If using on heavy braid with a jighead just make sure they are not "Finesse Jigheads" especially in heavy cover... 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted January 18, 2016 Super User Posted January 18, 2016 Bobby Garland created the first spider jig by making skirts from crappie size soft plastic tube he was making about the same time Garland created the bass size tube bait, the Gitzit. The Garland spider jig was made up be using a stand up jig head, single or double tail Mister Twister grub and his spider skirt made form the small tube by cutting both ends, the skirt placed in front of the grub. Gary Yamamoto put the 2 soft plastics together and called it a Hula grub. The Hula grub works on any plain jig becoming the skirt and trailer, very effective combination Hula grubs work very good as a finesse C-rig during post spawn when fry are being targeted. I use a 1/4 to 3/8 oz Pro-Jo sliding tubular weight with a Carolina Keeper for The weight stopper and 3/0 off set hook on 10 lb FC. Tom 2 Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted January 19, 2016 Super User Posted January 19, 2016 I've always fished them on a bare jighead with a fiber weed guard, usually a football jighead. 3 Quote
BaitMonkey1984 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I fish them around rocks with a standard ball style jig head. 2 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted January 19, 2016 Super User Posted January 19, 2016 I put them on any jighead that fits, 1/8 to 1/4. Try the 5" on VMC swinging rugby head. The 4" I just put on whatever lead roundhead I can find. As much as I fish a finesse C-rig similar to what WRB mentions above, (mostly lizards, worms, smaller brush hogs), I haven't tried a hula grub on it yet...I'm sure it would be great. 1 Quote

Whatever colors you'd use for jigs and/or craws in your waters, I suppose. For me that's anything with a base of black, pumpkin, green pumpkin, or watermelon. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 19, 2016 Global Moderator Posted January 19, 2016 Swinging football head or a football shakyhead with the screwlock. Black and blue, cinnamon purple flake, and green pumpkin are the only colors I need. They're a good C-rig bait or on a T-rig. 2 Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted January 19, 2016 Super User Posted January 19, 2016 In Missouri/Arkansas, the generic term for a hula grub is Chompers. Their version of the hula grub is better than the Yamamoto one, IMO. I've been in a bait store in Kimberling City, MO, just looking around and a guy comes in and says, "I need some Chompers. I need the real ones, and some of those Yamamoto Chompers too." I mostly fish them on 3/8 or half ounce football heads and drag them around chunk rock to gravel transitions. I sometimes fish them tx rigged with a pegged sinker, pitching them into cover and next to objects. They are good baits. Like I say, around where I live, we don't call them hula grubs, we call them Chompers. 1 Quote

Big Swimbait Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Another trick if you are using a jig head without a weed guard, take one of the skirt strands & skin hook it. 3 Quote

X2...On a football jig around rock for smallies. They have a bit of bulk to them, so jig drifting them in rivers was/is a great technique. Quote
