pauldconyers Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I was given 2 packs of 5" Yamamoto Double Tail Hula Grubs to play around with. What should I try to fish them on and in what size? Quote
Vilas15 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Id try a football head. Start with a 3/8 oz maybe? Edit: This may help Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 Standard rigging is a 1/4 oz Gamakatsu football head jig for me but the hula can be fished on a ball head or as a trailer on any number of baits as well as c-rigged. 1 Quote
craww Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Low-key the best chatterbait trailer there is. Adds a good subtle action that doesn't obnoxiously overwork the bait. The heavy Yamamoto plastic adds compact weight without too much bulk/lift. You can really creep a chatter bait along the bottom with them. Trim as needed to match your skirt Edit* forgot to mention after removing the "skirt" portion of the grub. Regular Yamamoto twin tail grubs work the same- I just buy the hula instead as I fish them Texas rugged on occasion. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 I used to love those baits and have gotten away from them the past few years...As mentioned above, I used them on jigs but I think I like them best t-rigged. Anywhere from 1/8 oz to 1/2 oz, depending on the rate of fall I'm looking for or if I'm trying to get thru some matted weeds. Maybe heavier is the weeds I'm trying to get thru is being stubborn that day. There are so many different ways to fish a grub. 1 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 A guy I fish with fills his livewell with them rigged on a 1/4oz Slider jighead. It's literally his go to bait. 2 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 I like to fish it on 1/8-1/4 stand up jig head. Quote
Dorado Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I like the 3/8 oz most of the time and 1/2 oz when I’m fishing > 25-30’ of water or when it’s windy. It fits perfectly and those Owner hooks are sharp. Happy fishing. It’s my favorite type of jig! Quote
pauldconyers Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 I was sort of looking at these two options: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamamoto-Weedless-Hula-Grub-Jig-Head-Owner-Hook-3pk-Pick/112510090725?hash=item1a321fbde5:m:mFV6oCMBC3iluyIl113IheQ https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamamoto-Weedless-Flippin-Jig-Head-Gamakatsu-Hook-2pk-Pick/112853978531?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D55992%26meid%3Dc7b390eb66714ae99cb8dc2185769a1f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D112510090725%26itm%3D112853978531&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Looks like the first one is just a standard jig head and the other is labeled more of a flipping head. Should I go with more of an Arky style head? If I go with one of these jog style setups which is the right size for the 5" model? Would something more like a stand up shaky head be a better option?

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 @pauldconyers, what kind of waters you fishing in? Each jig will work anywhere but they will excel better in conditions they were designed for. For example: Arky heads work great around wood/laydowns and football heads in rocky bottoms. Learn what the jig heads were designed for and maximize your chance at a trophy. Just my $0.02 worth. Quote

Super User iabass8 Posted February 2, 2019 Super User Posted February 2, 2019 site sponsor @Siebert Outdoorssells a football jig head without the weedguard that fits the hula grub perfectly. I use his 1/4oz the most for smallies in rock and 3/8 as well. Also throw them on his brush jig's in heavy cover. Hula grubs are awesome. https://www.siebertoutdoors.com/Football-Jighead-1576.htm Quote
