Rage Twin Tail Menace : Favorite Ways To Rig ? 2025
ChrisD46 reply :
I recently discovered the Rage Tail Menace - I'm starting out using it on a swim jig rigged as a trailer with the twin tails up & down (vertical) .
I'm sure there are other rigging options (both rigged alone and as a jig trailer) ... What are your favorite ways to rig the Rage Tail Menace ?
iabass8 reply :
Swim jig
Flippin jig
Senko lover reply :
Texas rig normally. Also works great on a shakeyhead.
roadwarrior reply :
Rig it vertically on a Rage Blade. Another option that worked well for me last
weekend was T-rigged: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/163835-its-on-at-pickwick/
bassin is addicting reply :
Vertical on a Scrounger. Imo mimics a bait fish perfectly
druben reply :
On a punch rig with a skirt. It may not look like much, but is a great little bait for getting in and out of thick grass.
Siebert Outdoors reply :
My number one way is on an Extreme Shaky head. This flat catches fish.

Lately I've been rigging them on a 4/0 weighted (3/32 ounce) Owner Twistlock Lite hook.

Skirted punch rig.
MidwestF1sh reply :
On a swing style football jig or a rugby jig head for smallies. It flat out kills em no matter what the conditions are.
ChrisD46 reply :
Great suggestions - many more rigging techniques than I would have imagined ... Obviously the Rage Tail Menace is a versatile soft plastic !
UKCATSBASSER reply :
Swing head / biffle head
Derekbass02 reply :
I would probably either use it as a trailer on a jig or use it on a jighead.
Choporoz reply :
UKCAT and Midwest, thank you. I haven't tried that combo yet (swing jig/menace), but I have no idea why not, since every other Rage Tail plastic shines on a Biffle Hardhead...almost like Big-O, Tommy Biffle and Gene Larew got together to cook up match made in heaven intentionally.

Im really getting sold on that Rage blade,Vertical on that and on a swim jig
ChrisD46 reply :
I believe the Menace tails come packaged with the tails connected : Is that the prefered method (tails connected) for flipping and punching ?
Choporoz reply :
I always separate Rage Tail stuff..to me, Rage Tail is about the motion...if I want it subtler, I'll throw something else.
Todd2 reply :
I've never thrown one, how do they look on a split shot?
bowhunter63 reply :
they work well on a rage rig too.I always split the tail.

Continued great information ! ... Lastly , what would be your top 3 ~ 5 Menace colors you will always hit the water with ?
Lendiesel22 reply :
Trig on a 3/0 gammy ewg, weight of your choice.
Colors....glacier,watermelon red,black and blue.
This bait does great in all the metioned approaches. This year it was a weapon on a river my club had 2 tournaments on. I hurt em on it pitching to laydowns on outgoing tide. I was the only one throwing it. The rest of the club was throwing smallie beaver type baits. I won both tournaments easily bc the menace was HOT
UKCATSBASSER reply :
I forgot the color. But it's candy something. Green pumpkin blue and of course any shad color to use on swim jig or chatterbait.
Catt reply :
Sapphire Blue, Black Neon, & Falcon Lake Craw
