The classic Mr Twister grub?

I love them for river smallmouth.  3" or 4" on a 1/8 or 1/4 oz. leadhead.  Favorite colors are pumpkinseed or white.  

I've tried several different brands of grubs, but the Mr Twister is the one I always come back to.

Add a mister twister to a Johnson silver minnow spoon.  Great combo.  I like black with silver flakes.

Yeah sorry i wasnt too specific. I bought 4 packs of the 4 inch double tail grub today white and black.    

Burley said it best... They are great for RIVER SMALLMOUTH.  I use the yellow on a jig head (ussually yellow also) and use a worm as a trailor.  Swim the jig along and let the fish kill it :)...

DOUBLE tail grub?  I THINK that the double tail grub is more commonly used as a trailer on a jig-and-pig.  I'm not sure that you would swim a double tail grub on a jig head.  Well, I'm sure you could...there aren't any rules.  Anyone ever done that?

I have, but not all that much.  Certainly won't hurt to try.  I've been catching them by just retrieving a Paca Chunk or Paca Craw just fast enough to get the claws swimming.

Mr Twister lures used to have a banana scent which I loved.  I always nailed bass on their grubs, but they are hard to find anymore.

I bought a bunch of Mr Twister 'Exude' baits (worms, lizards, grubs) on Ebay, but haven't used any of it yet.  Anyone tried it?

The 3" version single tail in "glow", white, chartreuse, yellow with or without sparcle cought plenty of crappie and bass for me(1/8-1/4oz jig, similar colours). The black with a black jig head landed a couple of double digit carp.

For bass fishing I use the 4" size single tail (same colours plus watermelon and pumpkin) on painted jigheads to immitate swimming minnows. The double tail goes mostly as a trailer on SBs, jigs, Johnson spoons (colours to match the bait).

I had some vicious strikes swimming a 3/8 bass jig (white head + whitish, peppered, translucent skirt) with a 4" "glow" double tail trailer fished like a spinnerbait on weedy flats.

I'm hear you on using the double tail as a trailer but the pond where i fish some guy told me that they kill in there and caught one as i was leaving!! btw i got skunked that day so im sure he knows a little more than i do about that pond. either way im gonna try it. and if it was used primarily for trailers why would they pair it up with jigs in packages you can buy?? just a thought
