The fish in my area simply ignore them.
I do really well on the 2” kalins grubs
I don’t use curlys much but hear lots of good things about 1” sliders. Have an order put together, stay tuned.
Try some go go Minnow’s from the fle fly company, they will always twirl even with the slowest retrieve. Firecracker is my favorite color.

This isn’t a curly tail but if you want a lure that will catch bluegill and crappie, give the Ring Kick Tail a try. It is scented.....fish hit and do not let go. While I have not said much about it, it has to be one of the best soft plastics I’ve ever fished. The write up from the company that produces the lure says it was designed to be hit on the fall. Well we all know that many lure makers say many things....the thing is fish do hit this lure on the fall. I’m not one to stray far from a Trout Magnet but this lure is the real deal.

My favorite is a black 1" curly tail, on a 1/64th head.

Catch a lot on curly tails here, really like Kalin and Southern Pros..colors vary by the day, sunlight etc.
Also catch many on CB sliders in the fall.
Yeah, I'm not complaining. :)Quote:

My favorite lure for bass is a 1/4oz jig with a chartreuse curly tail on it. I guess its about 2". Have tried 1" one on a really small lead head jig for crappie and never got the first one so far. Seem's that every other color works but they don't seem to care for chartreuse, can't figure that out! Something else, doesn't seem to matter what color the jig head is or even it it's just plain lead. But for myself I really thin the colored heads look better, stupid tasteless fish!
I like the Southern Pro 1 1/2 inch tail. 1/16 once head with a #6 hook.
I do well on the 2in Triple Ripple Tail, the Cabelas knock off in Black with Chartreuse tail has been a good bait for me.

Don't do well with curly tail grubs so I cut off the tail and add a spike tail:

White has done well in murky water thus far. For a good deal on curl tail grubs, Overstock.com ($.34/10 nice color; $2.89/36; Cabelas - Mr Twister ($5/50). I like Yum Ribbontail grub curl tail design over any other (Yum website $2.59/15).
But one use for curl tail grubs is on a Beetle Spin along with a Crappie Magnet split tail.

Haven't had much luck with Slider grubs (boot tail) either. The Cultiva shown is pretty much one except more expensive.
Correction: overstockbait.com/
Monkscrappie.com also has an amazing assortment of colors and brands including Southern Pro at good prices.
I use mostly hand ties for gills but when using plastics I like the 1.25 Watsit grubs from Lindy. Kind of hard to find but they are worth the effort.
pretty much like a slider , only with a head .Quote:
