Thread: Rigging you grubs?

Never really thought about it.

But now I am. I will grab some popcorn and watch

Well, I don't fish those that much, but they say tail down, so it won't get caught on the hook point. I did use a Z-Man onetime tail down, and it still managed to get fouled up on the hook, maybe because Z-Mans are so stretchy.

I manage to hook the tail on a Bobby Garland baby shad quite often

My grub tail is dragging right now.

Tail down & no wrist snap casts = less chance of fouling the tail on the hook point or wrapping the tail around the curve of the hook. I rarely use them, but this "advice" is from previous experiences from back when I did.

Probably wouldn't matter all that much if you were using them for various trolling techniques (unless you cast them out vs dropping them in and letting line out), but I'm pretty sure you're not doing much trolling with them. And I wouldn't use them for shooting docks, either !!

I use the Bobby Garland stroller to shoot docks when they are more active. I foul the tail on them about as often as I do on a baby shad
