What is your favorite way to rig a menace??? I like to rig it on a ned jighead and weedless. Share and post pics!!
T rigged, jig trailer, or bladed jig trailer.
I use it as a swim jig trailer. Its killer. Also I cut a v notch where the appendages meet the body. Gives it a little extra action.
I’ll have to try that modification.
T-rigged using a 3/0 hook and 3/8 oz bullet weight.
1/4 up to 3/4 on a pegged texas rig. 4/0 straight shank hook
1/2 up to 1 oz Carolina rig
Jig trailer
Bladed jig trailer
Cut in half and drop shot.
Swing-jig head and slow roll it on the bottom.
Texas rigged with a 2/0 hook and 1/4 oz bullet weight. Makes a great flipping bait.
Weightless on a 3/0 straight shank hook. Just drag and swim it through spare pads. The plastic life is awful but the hookup ratio is outstanding.
Trailer - Siebert Sniper finesse jig
Swimbait - 1/4oz. VMC Mooneye jig
Dredge 1/4-3/8 Shaky head. Flat out works.
My go to jig trailer.
As a swimbait, chatterbait trailer, texas rigged, jig trailer and now that I bought a few packs of baby menaces I will try and drop shot them.
Probably as a punch bait! ????
Wobblehead
On a wide-gap slider head.
T-Rigged with a 1/8 bullet weight and a 3/0 hook.
My grandson did very well with the menace on a shakey head one hot summer morning last year. I like them Texas rigged
Nice! Can’t wait to try some of these ways out!
This is the Picasso head I’m trying out this year. They make it with or without the weed guard. This is the baby menace with 1/8 oz head and 1/0 hook.

I was just looking at those heads....yeah, that'll do nicely.
Here is another way on a 1/0 owner flashy swimmer with a regular size menace.
Light Carolina rig for smallmouth.
Carolina rig or 3/8 oz swing head.

Looks like they were made for each other. I like the look of this
Could be one of the most versatile baits...I love it flat with a light weight and fish it like a frog, pitch it, swim it, can't fish it wrong.
Great grub, Swimbait, Trailer, Pitching bait, topwater.....Flat or sideways...Great little bait when Bass are feeding on bluegills all year, especially post Spawn when bluegills are all grouped together. I like to just put it on a light bullet weight or jig head and cast it out and let the fish tell me what they want.
Truly one of the best baits I have found in all my years of fishing. It produces fantastic vibration in stained water and smaller profile is fantastic...It really does make a good alternative to a Toad as a topwater as well...You will hook more fish as well..Plus when you kill it, it has better action then the toads...Just my take but the Menace is arguably the best strike king soft bait....Although the Cut'r worm is pretty good as well.
