Every fisherman at some point in time will use a grub. They are mostly used for Crappie and Panfish, although a bass will be tempted to bit a grub. I have found that when a front is moving in, sometimes bass will prefer a small quick meal rather than a large one. I started using the
Mister Twister grubs and still prefer their grubs. Although
Gray Yamamoto makes some of the best that work for either bass or pan-fish. There's really no reason to single out one type of grubs. Most all manufacturers make grubs and they're all good. Most of the tips and tactics can be applied to most any brand of grub.
In clear water, grubs provide the same wide range of visual color attraction as other soft plastic types. In addition, grubs have the magnetism of visible tail waggling that draws the eye of every wanton, hungry hunter. In cloudy, dark water (or in dense cover or at night) a grub's beating tail lights up on lurking lateral lines in the same way as a vibrating crankbait or spinnerbait blade, except that the grub is weedless and snagless. And always, grubs have the plump bodies, natural texture and saltiness that is held onto once taken.
So the next time you aren't getting any bites, tie on a grub and give it a shot.
