Bass Pro used to sell 1" grubs.
I don't see them on their website, but they still may be in the stores.
I buy the longer ones and cut them off .Quote:

I have some that work great even at slow speeds on a 1/64th oz. head. Unfortunately I unpackaged them all and threw them in a tackle box and can't find any indication of the brand name. Pretty sure I bought them at Sportsman's Warehouse a couple years ago. I'll check next time I'm in there and see if anything triggers a memory.
Yea I tried mr twisted but the tail don't have much action unless your moving them quick. ESP on a 1/64 head.
Big Bite baits makes them. Thats what I use.
I use Zoom 1 inch grub and love them, great tail action at slow retrieve .My supply is running low and I'm having hard time finding the zoom so I bought bps 1 inch squirmin grub but tail action not as good . Zoom on left Bps on right . Attachment 204205

I've found that Mister Twister has one of the best curly tail action (1 inch) lures. I've purchased and done well with the (Pumpkin Pepper and White). They work well casting and slow retrieve with a split shot 12 inches up the line on a 1/32 or 1/48 jig head.

The tail seems to be too thick on all of the 1" twister tails. I have thought about making a mold with a super thin tail for using tiny 1/80 oz jigheads. The fish might bite them off, but I could always make a lot and re-pour the broken ones?
I remember an article in a outdoor magazine from when I was a kid about dipping the tails of plastic worms in boiling water to give them more action. You had to put some kind of scent or oil on them or they would stick together. It did make them move allot more.
