Does Anyone Fish Grubs Anymore? 2024

Felix77 reply :

If so what grub? What color? What jighead and size hook?

Thanks

The Next KVD reply :

PowerTeam Lures makes a good one. I really like it in Green Pumpkin and a color called Blue Hue which is pearl with a bit of blue pearl mixed in.

Although I mostly use it as a swimjig trailer, I have had success with smallies fishing it on a 1/8oz Buckeye J-Will Swimbait head which has a 4/0 Mustad hook.

SGT Rico reply :

Heck yeah! I put them on everything. Spinnerbaits, swimjigs, dart heads, swimming hornets,chatterbaits, and 1/4 jig heads. They catch fish for me. I have also found much success fishing these on a 1/8 oz jig head and very light flouro line, this is an amazing finese presentation. I learn that technique watching Jarret outdoors on the outdoors channel.

A-Rob reply :

I regularly fish them as swim jig trailers.

I'll also fish them for smallies. I keep it simple and rig it on a 1/8 or 1/4oz bass pro jig head. I have had luck with white, green, and sometimes smallies just hunt for something chartreuse.

The senko has taken over grubs for me most the time tho.

A-Rob reply :

sorry I forgot I use Kalin 5" grubs...i like them

Their grub does look nice. The 4/0 isn't too big?

If I tell you what I use...I'd have to kill you....

Grubs are my "go to" bait when everything else fails. Green pumpkin or watermelon seed are my two go to colors.

It's pretty hard to fish them wrong. Experiment using them.

Right now I use Zoom's fat albert grub. Kind of playing around with a few others, but Zoom has always been good to me....even though their quality been kind of going down hill lately with 1-3 baits being disfigured...but even those messed up baits still catch fish...so I am not complaining.

only on the back of a swim jig

The Young Gun reply :

I have two color grubs in my favorite patterns like black/orange chart/black white/red ect. I fish them on 1/8oz walleye jig for >10FOW. Ill catch anything from walleyes, bass, pike, bulkheads, and my buddy just landed a 45" musky on a walleye jig and grub at the dam here in town.. Cheap and easy..

mjseverson24 reply :

I use whatever is available no brand in particular, but Kalin's are good quality. I use grubs very rarely as the quality of fish tend to be less than desirable. every now and then they work on a swim-jig but swimbaits have been much more productive for me.

1/8 oz darterhead, Yamamoto, smoke w/blk flake. My lone "panic box" item.

flippin and pitchin reply :

GYCB in 176 on a 1/4 jig head, 3/0. Classic smallmouth bait.

Quillback reply :

Grubs are fished heavily on Table Rock lake in the spring (as in now). "Scrub the Grub" is what folks around here say, which is, put a grub on a 1/4 jighead and drag it on the bottom. Smoke with salt and pepper is a very popular color.

MCS reply :

I always like a 3" smoke with black flake, white or black. on a 3/32 to 1/4 round jig head.

I fish it either one of 3 ways, straight steady swim back, bouncing yo/yo retrieve or dragging.

Lip 'em! reply :

The grub is one of my most confident baits because of their versatility and they just flat out catch fish! 1/4 oz head with a green pumpkin or salt n pepper grub is killer all year long.

tholmes reply :

I fish grubs a lot. They'll catch virtually any kind of fish. My favorites for bass are 4" black grubs on a 1/4 oz. ball-head jig.

Siebert Outdoors reply :

I sure do. 4" Grubs in green pumpkin variant on a shaky head. If the bite is tough and the bass wont hit a jig this little set up is a fail safe for me.

Felix77 reply :

Wow ... alot of great "Grub" to absorb.

Thanks.

slonezp reply :

I use 5" Kalins on an IL. legal version of the A rig, and will occasionally throw a smaller one on beetlespins

JigMe reply :

ohh yeah, 4"inch grub on 1/4 oz or 3/8 oz Jig head. It catches everything in the lake, and got a few turtles as well...

Paul Roberts reply :

Well I could wax poetic about grubs for a long time, possibly even surpass the site's text limit. Simply put grubs can be the simplest bass catchers out there. They won't call bass from afar, but if you know where they are, grubs can work really well. The simplest I've used were the broken off heads of plastic worms threaded onto a jig head. So simple it's stupid but bass will eat them. Add a clip-on overhead spinner to slow it down or for dingier water.

No atleast I don't think so. It goes back to almost where the tail section starts which to me doesn't make a difference because as long as the tail can move, its all good. I really like this grub compared to most because of the extra plastic rib like design on the tail, it just has to move water different than other grub tails. The forward rib design on the body also helps move the water around it differently making it something the fish probably are not use to. I also sent ya a PM by the way.

fishking247 reply :

i love the 4" kalins or berkley powerbait grub

Bassguytom reply :

I use the zoom fat Albert grub with a .125 or .25 jig head. Good mid summer bait on the lakes and rivers around here. Green pumpkin, black or white in color.

Jake P reply :

Rage grub!

PondHunter reply :

I use Pumpkinseed and Smoke/Black Flake grubs on 1/16 or 1/8th Black Round jigs with a Yellow eye. In Clear water, these 2 colors really produce.

I only mention the Black Jig/W Yellow eye because it has consistently produced more fish for me.

Bluebasser86 reply :

3" Kalin's on a 1/8oz head in clear hologram color catches everything that swims. My wife fishes grubs a lot for that very reason. I like the YUM Muy Grande grub also. Yamamoto Smoke no flake on a 1/4oz darter is one of my favorite baits on Table Rock when fishing is tough.

Grubs... the original swimbait?

livetofish28 reply :

Yammy grub in whatever color I have on the back of spinnerbaits

jignfule reply :

Fat Albert- Rootbeer pep/green, mister twister variety of color. jighead 1/16,1/8, 3/16, 1/4 depending on depth. We have fished a certain pond now for many years. We have caught literally thousands of bass and returned them all. The biggest fish there was taken with a little white grub.

iceintheveins reply :

Still use them all the time, especially for smallies but largemouth too. I use both single and double tail grubs. Yamamoto, Berkley Powerbait, Kalin's, and Mr. Twister are my favorite ones. With single tails I usually go with 4" grubs or 5" grubs, but will downsize to 3" as well. With hula grub/skirted types the 5" grub is best. Green Pumpkin, pearl white, watermelon, motor oil, and black/blue grubs are my standby colors. With jigheads it's mostly 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2 depending on depth, but anything under 20' feet, 1/4 of an ounce is as heavy as you need to go. With hula grubs, I usually texas rig them with a 1/0 EWG hook and a parasite weight pegged to it.

CPBassFishing reply :

Of course! I texas rig them, use them as topwaters, and use them as a swim jig trailer. Also good on an A-rig. My top 2 grubs are the powerteam lures grub and the rage grub.

Grantman83 reply :

Whats funny is I started out having never used a grub. My first go to bait was a senko. I picked up a couple of packs from Gander mountain and spent a whole day fishing them. I couldn't believe what I have been missing out on. I had fish as big as the grub bitinig it. Really was eye opening.

I've noticed one day they can be money and the very next day they can be almost a total bust.

Walleye only type of deal for me - with a night crawler of course!
