I had a thought today while day dreaming about fishing. Does anyone swim these as a grub or do most people just flip/pitch this bait?  I'm curious as to how it would swim as a grub with that tail.

Or even work on the back of an underspin.

I use them all the time on swim jigs which is about the same thing. The tail flaps like crazy

They work great on a swim jig!

I had good luck with it on a plain old slider spider head. I was tossing it on reed beds with various retrieves and the fish seemed to like it.

I fish them t-rigged and cast them for river smallmouth.  Menace grubs are one of my go-to baits.

I typically throw them on a shaky head but I also do use them for a swim jig trailer.

i only ever used them as a swim jig or bladed swim jig trailer 

Do you guys keep the tail as one piece or separate it?

separate it for me.

The only artificial I have ever used that out-fished live minnows being used by my partner at the same time.

I always separate the tail. Those Ragetails flap like crazy.

They are one of my main baits and I swim them rigged horizontally either weightless or with a light bullet weight, pegged.  

 

Weightless they sink very slowly with almost a spiral in still water.   The tails move at even the slowest speeds.  

Fish em on swim jigs and on jigheads. They flat out catch fish. Tail separated.

one of the best swim jig trailers on the market. 

Whatever you do, do not I repeat do not use on a shaky head or swing football head. It never works. ?

It's a very versatile bait , one of my favorite soft plastics on the market.

A drop of Loctite on the head and attached to a jackall wacky jighead..dragged along the bottom. This will always catch fish.

These suck, dont buy them. They dont catch fish, buy the banjo minnows instead

Used them as a trailer on a Calvitron buzzbait. Had good sucess earlier last spring.

Great on a wobble head jig slow rolled on the bottom. One thing I like about this set-up is if I come across something I want to pitch/flip, no change necessary. Another trick someone showed me is to use a heavier than normal slip sinker. Pitch it to your target. The heavy weight will fall fast & temporarily separate from the Menace. The grub then looks like it is "swimming" after it on the fall.

 

When this bait first came out, there was a show Hook 'n Look did. The action & SOUND of that bait on the fall was incredible.

As he said.

 

 

Pretty cool!

 

As others have said the menace is a great swimjig trailer. I have caught fish with it simple T-rigged, as well.

Great...Now I have to take a ride to BPS.Cool video.
