Super User Mobasser Posted August 3, 2020 Super User Posted August 3, 2020 I've used grubs a fair amount over the years. I still have some Riverside grubs from years ago. Now, I mostly use Kalins, rigged on a ball head jig. I've never caught any large bass on a grub, but good numbers of fish. Grubs are versatile, and can make a good search lure also. 2 Quote

That’s non-negotiable. 3” White grubs have accounted for countless 2-3#’s in high-pressured urban ponds for me over the past few years. Not to mention, all of the bonus channel cats that have also fallen victim The grub is subtle and versatile. With the rod tip high with a fast retrieval, the subsurface bite can be fantastic at night, especially pre spawn. The grub can be fished in all columns of the water. It’s very effective on an under spin, like the old school roadrunners and as swim jig trailers. It was my go-to walleye and saugeye back in Denver and now I use a 2” grub to sight fish for trout in AZ and for spawning crappie. I like to use a grub on a bettlespin in lieu of the split tail body. A June bug Fat Albert is one of my favorite night lures for bass of all time. Never gets discussed. Kalin’s makes my favorite design overall. Ron’s craw is a must. Trust me. Berkely’s Powergrubs are staples. The pumpkinseed is a terrific crawdad pattern and the Christmas Tree is a quintessential panfish color. A famous Lake Powell guide’s website, waynesworld.com, has fantastic articles about the grubs, which I have saved on my computer for reference. Check it out! Yamamoto’s Shad and baby bass colors are some of my favorite baitfish patterns. As you can tell the humble and unpretentious grub is definitely my confidence bait. A timeless classic, and like a tube, gets often overshadowed by new trendy and overly expensive baits; which is fine by me ? I see you rig it hook on opposite side of tail. I been rigging the other way, hook on curl tail side Quote
