Strike King Rage Tail Menace twin tail grub

[Fishin' Fool]

I had a thought today while day dreaming about fishing. Does anyone swim these as a grub or do most people just flip/pitch this bait?  I'm curious as to how it would swim as a grub with that tail.

Or even work on the back of an underspin.

I use them all the time on swim jigs which is about the same thing. The tail flaps like crazy

[Catt]

They work great on a swim jig!

I had good luck with it on a plain old slider spider head. I was tossing it on reed beds with various retrieves and the fish seemed to like it.

I fish them t-rigged and cast them for river smallmouth.  Menace grubs are one of my go-to baits.

[Siebert Outdoors]

I typically throw them on a shaky head but I also do use them for a swim jig trailer.

[Scarborough817]

i only ever used them as a swim jig or bladed swim jig trailer

Do you guys keep the tail as one piece or separate it?

[Cgolf]

separate it for me.

The only artificial I have ever used that out-fished live minnows being used by my partner at the same time.

I always separate the tail. Those Ragetails flap like crazy.

[fishwizzard]

They are one of my main baits and I swim them rigged horizontally either weightless or with a light bullet weight, pegged.  

 

Weightless they sink very slowly with almost a spiral in still water.   The tails move at even the slowest speeds.  

[Jagg]

Fish em on swim jigs and on jigheads. They flat out catch fish. Tail separated.

[RyneB]

one of the best swim jig trailers on the market. 

[gripnrip]

Whatever you do, do not I repeat do not use on a shaky head or swing football head. It never works. ?

[Bluebasser86]

It's a very versatile bait , one of my favorite soft plastics on the market.

[deaknh03]

A drop of Loctite on the head and attached to a jackall wacky jighead..dragged along the bottom. This will always catch fish.

[d-camarena]

These suck, dont buy them. They dont catch fish, buy the banjo minnows instead

[KDW96]

Used them as a trailer on a Calvitron buzzbait. Had good sucess earlier last spring.

Great on a wobble head jig slow rolled on the bottom. One thing I like about this set-up is if I come across something I want to pitch/flip, no change necessary. Another trick someone showed me is to use a heavier than normal slip sinker. Pitch it to your target. The heavy weight will fall fast & temporarily separate from the Menace. The grub then looks like it is "swimming" after it on the fall.

 

When this bait first came out, there was a show Hook 'n Look did. The action & SOUND of that bait on the fall was incredible.

Pretty cool!

As others have said the menace is a great swimjig trailer. I have caught fish with it simple T-rigged, as well.
