The Grubster review

Holy moly - I love this bait!

for being a paddle tail swimbait, this one checks all the boxes for me.  It has...

- great baitfish profile

- great action even at slow speeds

- great durability, holds together extremely well

- great cast ability, really casts a mile

- great color choices

 

But there’s just one problem...

i love this bait - but the fish dont.

 

only a handful of fish have showed interest in this bait over the past several year.  Even when fished in the best conditions, other baits will catch five times as many, or more.

 

great bait, yet so disappointing

Looks like a good bait, surprised the fish don't like it.

I really don’t understand it

 

been using it for both largemouth and smallmouth.

 

ive only caught a few largemouth, one Walleye, a couple Crappie, and one white bass.  That’s about it over the past few years.

   I don't know which size you're using, but I have found that in general, if large boot-tail baits don't get their attention, move DOWN one size. It usually works for me. I hope it works for you.     jj

 

p.s. - all other caveats apply; slow retrieve, very little added weight, stop-and-go or pop-and-drop, etc.

Using the 2.75” size

The fish on Table Rock love that 2.75" size on a small jighead.
