Super User ChrisD46 Posted May 27, 2021 Super User Posted May 27, 2021 What are your favorite grubs for Swim Jigs & Bladed Jigs that are not your typical too short 3.5" grubs ? ... I find most of the readily available Zoom , Mister Twister and the like grubs to be a little too short for using on the backs of swim jigs or bladed jigs without cutting the skirts way back ... Your favorite longer grubs that are a true 4" ~ 4.5" in length ? Quote

Finessegenics Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 Take a look at the Eeliminator and the BBB Double Tails. They fit nice on standard bass jigs https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/GameChanger_Lures_Eeliminator_/descpage-GCLEL.html https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Big_Bite_Baits_Double_Tail_Finesse_Grub_10pk/descpage-BBBDTFG.html#customer_reviews Quote
Super User Scott F Posted May 28, 2021 Super User Posted May 28, 2021 Chompers skirted twin tail grubs. Quote
rtwvumtneer6 Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Yamamoto and Chompers both make a good 5" Double Tail. The Chompers scent is strong. Single tail I use the good old Fat Albert. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Super User Posted May 28, 2021 Good replies - the Chompers , Kalin and Big Bite grubs in 5" look like they would present a nice profile for a standard swim jig or chatterbait when that type of profile is needed . *You have to remember a grub has a curled up tail and is only 5" (if that) when stretched out . BPS is notorious for stating that their grubs are longer than they truely are - as a matter of fact they do not measure what they claim to be on the package (must be new math they used) ... Good choices out there with the three new suggestions provided - thanks . Quote
Kenny Yi Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Since I almost always use double tail: rage menace is a given zoom z-craw is a new favorite of mine rage structure bug also works Quote
Westcoast Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 I just picked up a pack of the new megabass curly tail worm/grub bait. Looks like it’s gonna be a great trailer. Quote
Michigander Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Rage Craw is a favorite. When one flapper gets bitten off, rotate the bait 90 degrees and keep fishing. 1 Quote
Johnbt Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Kalin's and Got-Cha 4" and 6" curltail. https://seastriker.com/styled-11/index.html Got-Cha also has 8", and shad body, and double tail, and shrimp tail too. Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted May 28, 2021 Super User Posted May 28, 2021 When I'm using a grub as a swim jig trailer, it's usually on a compact, finesse style swim jig. 4" GYCB single and double tail grubs get the call here, as does a 3.5" GYCB Swimming Senko. On "normal" full size swim jig.....I know not a grub per say, but the new GYCB Kicking Zako has been FANTASTIC, and is about all I use any more. Quote
Johnbt Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 They have 3", 4", 6" and 9" shad bodies, too. See the linked page for colors. They're selling saltwater stuff, but the bass have never minded. Quote

Fished it vs the Fat Impact? I have both and always reach for the FA, but I'm curious about real-world experience on the differences. Quote

Personally I like the larger flanges of the Z Craw as opposed to the junior. As far as length goes, you can always trim that down to your desired size. Quote

I like them much better as a stand alone bait Quote

Thanks for the heads up! 7 hours ago, NorthernBasser said: Personally I like the larger flanges of the Z Craw as opposed to the junior. As far as length goes, you can always trim that down to your desired size. I agree, either'll work just fine. Swim jigs, especially, can really benefit from a little longer overall length, depending on what I'm trying to emulate. 1 Quote
