Brand0n Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 who else makes some good ones other than yamamoto? i got some bare football jigs i wanna put some hula grubs on and try them out. is there a cheaper alternative? Quote
kLuo Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 The one that immediately comes to mind is made by Chompers: http://www.chompers.com/products.asp?cat=10 A little bit cheaper. In terms of quality, I cannot comment because I have never tried them before. Can someone who has fished with them share their thoughts? Quote
bassin is addicting Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 i've fished both. Yamamoto worth the extra money.... IMO Chompers just didn't have the action...again.. IMO The Yamamoto hula grub is one of my go to baits.... I like it on a bare football jig as you mentioned..as well as texas rigged. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Chompers Yum BPS Keitech Jak's Hopeully in the future we might see a Rage skirted grub. I'm still crosing my fingers. Quote
Wild Bill [NY] Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Keitech seems to have discontinued thers, but they were EXTREMELY DURABLE. My best to date have been the Yamamoto Hulas for action and catch rate, and I have tried a lot of the knockoffs . Been fishing the Yamamotos for nearly 20 years now. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 1, 2012 Global Moderator Posted March 1, 2012 I like Yums pretty well, they just don't come in very many different colors if you're looking for a specific one. Quote
psuangler91 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Gotta go with the yammi, color 200 clear with bronze flake is the way to go. It's worth the money! Quote
paulmandude Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 try gander mountains. they are the cheapest and free shipping to boot! the action is just okay however, but is also scented. its weird, it says your ordering gander mountains brand but they sent me big bite baits. Quote
je1946 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Those Yammi guys are pretty smart, tried find if I could buy em like in a 50 or 100 count NO WAY, they are gd, but I've also done pretty well with chompers as well. gonna try some of them Damiki aero craws. Any of you ever use em? Quote

Any of you ever use em? Great bait! I don't bed fish unless fishing a tournament, but I would assume they would be excellent. I use them in colder weather and slowly drag them along on a sled head jig. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Chompers are the only ones I've ever fished. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted March 7, 2012 Super User Posted March 7, 2012 Been using GYCB hula grubs for quite a while. I've tried others, and always went back to GYCB. One of my go-to rigs is a 5" GYCB hula grub on an Evo Shaky2 jighead. I almost always have this tied on one rod ready to go. Try Overstock. They occasionally have GYCB baits. I scored a bunch of 5" and 6" hula grubs last year from them. Quote
backwater4 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Yamamoto and keitech are go to's. I've also been trying some hand pours from different guys, nice stuff also. Keitechs are by far the most durable. Quote
ChrisAW Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 try gander mountains. they are the cheapest and free shipping to boot! the action is just okay however, but is also scented. its weird, it says your ordering gander mountains brand but they sent me big bite baits. Thats because they are made by Big Bite for Gander Mountain, just like many other "manufacturers." Northlands "new" line of bass baits are just Big Bites stuff repackaged, and many use their 5" stick worms repackaged as well. Quote
