The BEST Finesse BAIT No One Uses
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 січ 2023
- This is the best finesse bait that no one talks about or uses anymore but it wins tournaments. The Grub is a soft plastic bass fishing lure that was used in the same ways we use finesse swimbaits today. You can put a grub on Alabama rigs, one Ned rigs, on swimbait heads, on Texas rigs, on free rigs etc. It so versatile that that it will catch ever fish that swims.

LOL, life was simpler when all I had was a handful of Mr. Twisters, 3" Slug-O's, and a couple Rapala jointed minnows. Love that tip for nicking the bait, THANKS!
Hahahahaha heck yeah
Do they still make slugo's? I didn't care for them much but my cousin swore by the bubble gum slugo's.
@@johnnyreb1475 Sure do...might have to buy from Lunker City's site to get choice of size/color. I do good with the 3" on L action with 4-6# test. Not as good with the larger sizes; they might be better with twist-lok and nose hook?? Alewife was my favorite.
I use the mister twister and catch 14” plus bass with it pulling it through rough alge patches in a small pond in front of an apartment complex near me.
Sounds like my tackle box, nothing less than 30 years old in therel.
It is true the grub is overlooked so much… also the tube is another one … thanks BG
Yes the tube is really in the south.
We still use these for smallies in the northwoods. Kalins makes a good one!
Kalin makes my favorite ones
I prefer tail down to avoid fouling the hook. I also like long wispy tails. So, I clip 4" worms w/tails off to 2"-3" depending on water clarity and depth. I'll clip them on a slight angle to improve glide or drop rates. (Thank you Malcolm Lane) White Bass, LM Bass & Crappie seem to like salt & pepper the best.
Great info!
My grandfather was mainly a crappie angler. The biggest bass and stripers I’ve caught thus far came from trying grubs for crappie.
I love my grub.
I fish tail down on grubs. Mainly use zoom fat Albert's and the BPS ones. Use them alot as a swimming bait but also slow rolling down steep banks or in deep water. Great bait that people do not use as much anymore. Thanks for the video.
Thank your for the info and watching.
Thanks for this. With all the new stuff being constantly thrown at you, it's good to be reminded about the tried & true. Cheers!
Yeah it's nuts even I let it sit to long.
Great video. I have fished grubs for many years. I got caught up in all the latest techniques but always come back to my old faithful confidence bait.
I'm with ya. I'm always getting caught up.
This was a fantastic video to begin your 2023 presentations. This bait is good for every category of fisherman from beginner to professionals in national championships. I spoke about the curly tail last year. It was a video called “don’t forget about the curly tail.“ I emphasized a lot of points that you made such as this bait is one of the most successful baits in bass fishing but it is hardly highlighted. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
A grub is my favorite trailer on a spinnerbait. Always produces for me . Great video as always Hank
I love it on a spinner too
Thanks Man. Sharpened my grub skills for sure.
Thank you I love the grub.
Great video!! Never knew how to fish a grub but now I found the way!!!! I bit the bullet & ordered the custom Booya Lipless. Used the code!! Thanks! Should be getting them tomorrow!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!
Thank you and they are sick!!!!!
Awesome! I'm a big fan of the Yamamoto 4 inch smoked w/blk fleck grub fished on a 1/8 oz ball jig head during cold water periods.
Soo good
Great information! Love what your doing!
Thank you for watching
The grub is completely under appreciated. Trailer for anything,swimbait,Neko,Texas rig,and so much more. The best grub I’ve used so far is the gander Mtn grub. It has a little arm on it to make it weedless on a ball head. Zoom is the other one and zman has a good one too.
Thanks for the Zman tip. Bluegill are always biting on the tails. Elaztec might help.
Thanks for the awesome info and I agree 100
I like moss green ones with red, silver and light green sparkles, gotta give that a try in deep stained water.
Excellent info Hank love the Videos Sir!
Thank you very much
Great video! I was happy when seeing what the video was about! I use fat alberts all the time and my favorite way is to just thread it on a #2 VMC neko hook and no weight on spinning rod slow reeling just a few inches under the water
thanks for this I tried this here in Philippines shore casting. the trevally are loving it!
Heck yeah!!!!
Love the OG Mr Twister grubs. I use them all my life and they never fail me.
Grubs are money
Coming from australia here we love and use them but smaller sizes for our bream we use 2 and 2.5 inch generally on a 1/20 jig head sometimes heavier sometimes lightsr depends on the conditions then we use 4 5 and 6 inch for snapper
That's cool. Thank you sir.
Been tossing the Yama grub 5in. For decades old school bait that I haven’t put down till this day it’s my confidence bait . 👍🏻oh and tail down so it doesn’t snag on hook .
OH good tip with the tail.
The fat alberts are killer for where i fish in the Connecticut river. This evening i went out after work and had 10 smallies on today with the fat albert and a 1/4 oz ned rig head.
Great little grub for sure. I love to fish them.
I only use a Fat Albert grub on my white chatterbait. White grub and spike-It chartreuse on the end of the tail. Or green grub, with red spike-It on the tail, for a green chatterbait. Each are an excellent combo that work for Large and smallmouth bass. Tail down every time.
Yes sir and one spinnerbaits
Appreciate you boss man always got some good stuff 💯 👊
Thank you and appreciate you.
The salt and pepper grub has been a go-to for me for years! Works like a champ!
That's such a great color.
What the fuck is salt and pepper
I got to meet Gary Yamamoto several years ago in Alabama pre fishing a tournament. He was a super nice man
Yeah he’s funny as heck
Hey Hank: 2016 was the first year I fished for smallmouth bass with grubs and they worked great. I didn't know enough to use a jighead. What worked instead for me was Gamakatsu 54411 exposed hooks and worm weights.
That's the great thing you can rig'em anyway ya want and they still catch'em
Love fishing grubs. Always productive. I fish them texas, ballhead and on slider heads. Zoom fat albert, zman and damiki mr jumbo are my favourite. Greetings from South Africa!
Hey hello South Africa. They are machines.
One thing I do with most small bails, tie them with a loop knot. It does make a difference
Yeah I do love a loop for finesse baits.
Jiggy jiggy. Nice video Hank!
Thanks
Good stuff as always, haven't broke out a fat Albert in a hot minute!!
Yeah that's me. I lov'em but there's just so many other things you just forget about the old reliable grub.
Hey Hank, love them grubs. Especially in the spring time for crappie. My other go to in the spring is a good ol minnow on a slip float. Great from beginner to advanced anglers & crappie are damn good eatin! #100percentwatchsquad👊
Yup I have to agree.
Thanks man great info and video
Thank you. It’s the deal
My favorite spinnerbait and swim jig trailer
It’s killer for both
Jiggy jiggy love it man
Love it
Never used them for bass, but have absolutely wore out the speckled trout in Tampa Bay with grubs. Will have to start working these into my bass lure rotation 😅.
They will catch anything.
Well, there is one fishermen talking about it. Double tail Grub from Zoom is tough to beat. I like it on an Arkie jig. Some day I'm coming to your lake with my doubletail grub. Fish on!
HHahaha 10-4 I love a twin tail
Been using curly trail plastic for decades, fresh water and salt water, caught hundreds of fish with them. Its my go to bait for most fish.
Heck yeah it's a machine.
Tail up it will be then. 1st time I ever heard someone give a good reason why. Thanks
I know there are lots of reasons for both.
I just mentioned this bait in my video, haha you can even Carolina rig it too, my favorite is the yamamoto, but kalins worked too back in the day, Lets Go!!!
In my heart, it will always be a Mr. Twister. 😀 I fish in very clear water and love their versitility when I am in area with diverse type of bottom or cover. Drag it, snap it, swim it, vertical jig it, jigworn in the weed, etc. If I am not just working a reaction bite, my most successful method is a natural color (baby bass is a great one) on a swim, kill, short drag retrieve. Unless I am on a muddy bottom, I get most of my fish on long kills (maybe 20 seconds). Seizdcaracass mentioned zman. Would love to try something buoyant that would stand up on the pause. Elaxtech might help with my number grub problem: bluegill and sunfish biting off the tail. I would fish it a lot more if I didn't have to be replacing baits all the time.
Thank you and man some great tips. I can't say how happy I have to have you dropping knowledge like that.
Never thought about rigging a grub like that definitely trying it out #100percentwatchsquad
It's so good.
Grubs Rule!!! Good video Hank,,, I’ve been fishing grubs since I was a kid. Try to keep 4 in. down to 1in. For all occasions. Bream, crappie, perch and bass can’t think of anything that won’t bite’em.
Catfish especially from ponds will eat grubs that mimmick tiny baitfish as well and I've had a pretty good size river carp follow and swipe at a 2" yellow grub a rod length from the kayak so I really don't know what wouldn't eat them either
I like fishing grubs weightless texas rig and drag em across lilly pads or count it down and use as a jerk bait. this is a summer / fall pattern in winter I use lead head .
Heck yeah that's killer.
#100percentwatchsquad!!!! I actually really like to use a curly tail grub as a swim jig trailer. In the prespawn, when you want more action than just a fluke but not as much as a craw or swimbait, a grub can be perfect!
What's up sir! Thank you again for all you've done for the channel. You hit the nail on the head.
@@BassGeek You have such a great channel, Hank, and you've been doing this for so long, it's time UA-cam started showing you a lot more attention.
Fat Albert in Salt & Pepper on Champlain is by far my best producer !!!
Thanks for the great tips. Love your videos. Hey when will you be getting your new bass boat?
I hope I'm getting it this week.
I used to fish these a bunch years ago but I actually have a Yamamoto on a ned head rigged up ready for Saturday!
Hahahaha ready to rock
Definitely got to get back to using grubs.
Deadly little bait.
Great stuff as always Hank! Gonna try that out after this cold snap. 12° by Monday. Might be awhile. You ever get down to 12 brother? It's about time to move!!
Not yet. I would love too.
Gotta try that color
Yes sir
Love to fish the grub on Jika rig, free rig and drop shot; specially on current running water
Yup it’s one of the most versatile baits you can tie on
Hankkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!! Pumped up to meet you Saturday
DUDE you better!
@@BassGeek loved getting to talk to ya your a class act. I’ll hop on the video next year
Funny to see this video as a buddy and I were discussing fat alberts this morning , he was asking why I don't throw grubs in my home lake and frankly I don't have a clue why I don't , especially since I have about 10 never opened packs , looks like I'm headed to the garage to round them up and throw them on the boat
Hahahaha my partner showed me how good they can be
One of the deadliest walleye/saugeye baits here in my part of Ohio as well. Never tried the Yamamoto grubs yet - gonna have to give them a try.
MMMMMM meat. lol
Thanks Hank. Grubs work all the time.
Yes they do.
One of the first things an old timer taught me to bass fish with when I was new to lake fishing. I still don’t throw it as much as I should.
Same! I remember an old timer telling me the same thing and showing me this Lure as I was watching him catch everything with it. About 35 years ago. I’m gonna go fishing today in North Jersey a little chilly but I need to do it lol
I'll remember that for sure.
The Grub and stupid tube is money on the Potomac river here..
Definitely Ball head jigs this year..was experimenting last year with Ned heads an other types and rocks ate them up..
Yeah I can see that. Thanks for the info.
Man, I love this! I tear Bass up with Fat Albert grubs all day here in VA.
Same here
I run my tail down, running it up I get tail foul hook in my cast often, almost never pointing down 👍
Cool thanks for the info
I used to fish with 2 older Japanese guys and they used to slay bass on a yamamoto grub. RIP to by brother Taka.
I love the grub sorry about your friend.
@@BassGeek thanks. I will try to to start my 2023 fishing season off soon. Lord's willing
They have been forgotten about by many and they work
Yes sir you know that's the truth.
Yes sir the best weapon on the water when the bass are telling you we want smaller baits . My go to is the Panfish Assassin Shad color black and gray
Thank you and It really is a great bait so versatile.
I use them in FL in rivers, they love them
Thanks for watching and those things are killer in the rivers.
Like the man said, this is the original swimbait lure, us " Old Farts " have been fishing these lures , like me for over 50 years and they were killer for all types of fish back in the day and they still are now , never hit the water without them , and the twin tail grubs make for an great jig trailer too !!!
hahahaha yes isr.
That is one of fav secret baits. My go to grubs are zman gurbz, scented curly tail, and streakz, Zoom Fat Albert, Strike king Rage tail Grub, Rage Menace, Powerbait boss grub, Googan Love bug, Yamamto Hula grub. I have caught a Largenmouth, smallmouth, spotted bass, walleye, and crappie with them. The average bass size I caught was 3-5lbs. My biggest bass was 9lbs.
Heck yeah man
@@BassGeek No matter what keeper on the head Iuse I out super glue.
I still use the grub but mostly as a trailer although I remember when that’s about all there was for a “NED”🎣
Yeah and a swimbait.
Thanks!
Dude Thank you SOOOO Dang much.
Fat Albert twin tail is my favorite, Root beer pepper green 🤫
Great on the old jig right there.
I prefer to fish m with the tail up also, but on the tri color ones they sell for crappi fishing. If you rig m with the dark color on top n light down the way bait fish appear naturally, the tail comes out to the side
Thanks for the info. That is very helpful.
Love this intro, lol. I'm not a 100% watcher, but I'm catching up, lol
Hey thank you for watching anytime you can.
Caught my biggest bass off a grub at night haha. Hopped it a couple times then dragged it and bang it got ate.
Heck yeah
They work great when and were the bullfrog tadpoles are moving about, you can catch some biggen's.
Good to know. Thanks.
I agree grubs are overlooked, I wish I could find plain brown colored twister tails I only have one pack left 😢
Oh man!
I wish I could load a picture. I have a 3" pumpkin pepper mister twister on a 3/8 Oz ball head on a rod right now. I tear smallies and walleye ( occasionally a pike) up in front of my dad's cabin on the rip rap. Kind of a family fave among my dad and uncles.
I always throw it on a baitcaster and always put the curl on the same side as the hook point. I switch the retrieve up until I figure out how they want it.
Heck yeah thank you!
I focused all of my fishing last year on a light set up and grubs. They work with everything.
Thank you for calling out how good they are. #zoomfatalbert #junebug.
I know guys who win tournaments on them all the time
Yamamoto salt and pepper single tail grubs!! The tails use to be thinner than they are now. That was half the magic.
Great insight thank you and great color.
Congrats to the winner. 💯watcher
Thanks
# 100%Watch Squad as always Hank you Rock
Heck yeah! #100 baby!
I like a 3” grub on a Zman willow vibe.
Nice.
I yo yo a grub also along with drag and swim it u mention… love the fat Albert…..all I knew at 8 or so was yo yo a white or black pre rig mister twister for bass they didn’t hit white or black try tomorrow… ussaly they hit it every day same 3 fishing holes
Good and fun info right there. Thank you!
I would love to see you pick Center Hill Lake a part gorgeous lake and super deep. I've had luck from the bank, but I haven't figured it out kayaking yet pretty intimidating, actually... Great upload #100percentwatchsquad
I hope to do some on that as things fall in place
I'm thinking if you had access to one of those pliers to stretch them open and the little rubber bands they use them on for castrating sheep, you should be able to clamp a grub or any soft plastics to the shaft of the hook permanently
Hahaha yeah I guess.
Nope, you ain't got no paint left to rub off that boat! 😂 Always enjoy your vids and like that hat! 👍😎
LOL yeah I've learned a lot on this boat and a lot about what not to do to glass boats.
@@BassGeek Like me with my 2014 Z8 Nitro I no longer sweat the scratches as much 👊👍😎
Can't go wrong with a ball head and a grub! #100percentwatchsquad
Nope
I fell like some of these old baits like the grub and tube are gonna be killer this year because they don't get thrown as much anymore
I know I'm going to use both of those a lot more.
I been using Cailins 4” grubs on the rock walls of California’s deep reservoir’s and catching monster Bass since the 80’s
Heck yeah I'll try them thanks for the info.
@@BassGeek smallmouth and spots love them too
I agree, if it ain't broke don't fix it, old school lures like the curly tail grub still catch fish!!!!
You know it.
My PB smallmouth was on a purple Mr twister in the post spawn
Heck yeah man
I never fished a grub before now I will next month. Thanks #100
Oh you gonna have fun. #100ROCKS
When I started fishing back in the 80s ALL we used was grubs...I always assumed that grubs were THE go to lure for bass and other panfish for everyone...it is only in the past few years when I started watching online fishing content that I was shocked to discover how few people use them. Sure, there are other lures that work better in certain situations, but when in doubt you can't go wrong with a grub.
2016 was the first year I fished for smallmouth bass with grubs and they worked great. I didn't know enough to use a jighead. What worked instead for me was Gamakatsu 54411 exposed hooks and worm weights.
Yeah lots have just moved on or put them down. I'm guilty myself.
Hank come on man us old guys need some secrets. also remember the Mann's stingray grub it was a smallmouth killer.
hahahha yeah I just killed us old guys I know.
The grub is king of soft plastics. I have decades of catching fish on a 3 inch grub, Bass, catfish, pike, salmon, trout, walleye, etc.
Yes it is
Good video
Thank ya Les
I've been dragging a 4" Yamamoto single tail for years for smallmouth.
Yes me too
Yep… I’ve caught countless barred surf perch, corvina, blue gill, crappie, and even bass on a simple curly tailed grub…
It catches everything.
@@BassGeek that’s the truth brother!
I forget who makes it. But someone makes a football head for a ned and I think that head would be really good if you wanted to drag this around rock on the bottom
Yes it would
Hank, you know I have used the grub since the 80’s maybe sooner, I used to pour my own ballheads with my brother and we bought 3&4” grubs by the pound 😂😂😂 yes, I am old 😮 I still have some 3” triple tails in “salt&pepper” 😂 you just keep giving up the “secret sauce” 😜 I’ve even used 1oz jigheads with 6” grubs to catch 20lb stripers on Cumberland Lake and in February 😜👍🎣🍀
LOL yeah I'm running out now. Hope spring will come back in so the fishing get's better.
I need to get the grub out more. Iv relinquished it to A rig only. It deserves better
LOL yes grubs have rights too ya know.
I use grubs all season. From ice out to till it freezes. I catch a ton of smallmouth and a lot of accidental walleye not complaining about that. But they catch alot of big smallies. I catch alot of largemouth in cold water too.
Heck yeah I wouldn't complain about the eye's either. hahahaha
