Tail up or tail down?Attachment 404380

Never really thought about it.
But now I am. I will grab some popcorn and watch:popcorn
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.

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. :Rofl And I wouldn't use them for shooting docks, either !! :Doh:
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 shadQuote:

Tail down where I fish in the shallow marshes because if they are rigged the other way, the hook catches the grass a lot worse!
