These are by far my best producer and my go to bait when I am bass fishing...I just wanted to know yalls favorite color and yalls favorite way to fish them

Salt & Pepper on a 1/8 - 1/4 jig head. In the lake i really learned to fish on, this is deadly.

Green pumpkin on the back of a bluegill swim jig or just on a 1/4 oz jig head can be deadly at times. Salt n pepper and chartruese pepper are also good producing colors for me.

You cant ask a question like that without mentioning your favorite color and the way you fish it...haha jk.  I never used them before but I just bought some in chartreuse.  Do you guys use these as trailers or fish it by itself?

I have them in cotton candy. Its decent.

Green Pumpkin Texas style with a 1/8 or 1/4 ounce pegged weight.

Watermelon Green Orange Flake rigged weightless and weedless on a 1/0 EWG. 422 fish so far this season on that bait. Usually a dink-magnet however; of all those fish - nothing bigger than 3 pounds (yet).

In addition to the Fat Albert, I also have another 138 fish so far this season on other brands of grubs (Kalin, BPS, Gander, Mr. Twister). Biggest bass on these was a 4.7lb LMB on a Kalin 5".

I like grubs... :lol:

How do you fish them weightless?

How do you fish them weightless?

 

Cast, let sink for a few seconds - if no immediate strike either swim it back with twitches under water, or bring it up to the top and bring it back as a topwater.  This presentation is for the top 3-5 feet of the water column.  You can also toss them onto and around slop since they're rigged weedless. Use a twin tail grub and you have a miniature frog that's also good for working over slop.  Not a big-fish bait, but since the little lakes that I fish have mostly smaller bass, it's a very versatile bait. And, some of the bigger bass go for it as well - the 4.7lb LMB I mentioned hit a Kalin 5" that I was retrieving on top, parallel to the bank, in very shallow water.

 

On rigging, I forgot to mention earlier that a weightless single tail grub will spin like crazy on the retrieve. I tie the 1/0 EWG to an 18"-24" leader and a ball-bearing swivel.  You will still get some line twist even with the swivel.

Rootbeer Pep/Grn  Love the grubs and the twin tails.
