Always have a smoke grub rigged up. I go to Canada every year and it is a smallmouth killer!

I was just thinking the same thing the other day. Wouldn't the old sting ray grub be similar to our modern day ned rig. A place I worked for when i was younger had a stingrays grub imitation in rootbeer gold flake, avocado gold flake and avocado red flake . I sure wish I still had some of those now days. I found a massive stockpile of old new stock on eBay. Got a bunch in avocado since my 30 year old stash of smoke grubs is dwindling. I should be good to go for a few more years. There were plenty of metal flake versions like you describe still available though.

Yes sir still use grubs. I have a spinnerbait tied on 12 months out of the year. Typically it will have a grub trailer. Either large single tail or split tail.

I was using what we called at the time a spade tail grub in the early 80's made by Master Minnow, the only difference is now they call them swimbaits.

Catch every species on grubs - many that I modify: Crappie Magnet : They catch fish on a Beetle Spin: ...use curl tail grub on Beetle Spin also: Added part of a Sweet Beaver to a grub body: Take the claw from a craw lure and add it to a grub body: Fuse two grub bodies minus curl tails and wacky rig or the usual way: Hand injected mold produces this thin tail grub: Spike tails do well: Bunt tail grubs always catch fish: Use cheap unpainted ball head jigs from ebay. 1/16 oz usually does it though at times I use a 1/32 oz or 1/24 oz. Hook sizes #6, #4. Grub color not important - action and size crucial. I've caught 7lb catfish and 3 lb bass on them. As with any small lure I find that a slow unsteady retrieve is best.

Yes, winter thru early spring... If you catch a few in one spot follow up with the Ned Rig or visa versa... Dan

Anyone else go out yesterday? I was surprised to see the water temperature at 52 degrees. Caught three (one small one 9", 1 1/2 lbs, 2 1/2 lbs.). Crankbait in 3 - 5' of water on points coming from deep water.

Many years canoeing/fishing rivers in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. The Brazos, Llano, Guadalupe, Devils, Ouachita, Illinois, Mountain Fork, Buffalo....All had one thing in common: hands down the best lure for all the rivers I’ve fished has been a curly tailed grub on a jig head. More fish caught on this lure than all other river lures combined. Any color......as long as it’s chartreuse!
