i've been using a grub lately but i have had little sucess. i've used a 3 inch grub on a 1/8 ounce jig head. i've jiged it, done a strady retreive fast and slow. how do you guys fish a grub and how productive has it been for you.

i guess a grub isn't that popular..

I use them all the time,almost every day for panfish and bass. I use a 1/8 ball head and white or black grub for stripers and sea trout on very light drag. If the 1/8 oz isn't producing down size to 1/16 and smaller grub. That will slow the fall and smaller grub might better match the hatch or get neutral/negative fish to bite. Color is another subject depending on water clarity.

I use them a lot in the spring. I like to use a 3" or 4" Mister Twister in white on a chartreuse 1/8 oz head. You have to rig them straight on the jig with no bulges or twists. I retreve either in a steady cadence or twitch and real sporadically. You need real light line and spinning gear to get the best results. I sit in deeper water and cast right up on shore to the rocks and the smallies really like it. The technique doesn't work as well as the summer goes on because most of the fish are in deeper water and that set up doesn't sink very far. Spawning smallies eat them real good.
