Grubs for T-Rigs?

Featured Replies

Any of you T-Rig grubs? I was thinking about all of the creature baits that I have and with T-rigging being my favorite method of bass fishing, I haven’t tried to rig just a grub either weightless or weighted. 
 

Do you guys or have you guys rigged a grub like this with any success? If so, what did you use?

I tried it on a Big Bite super grub, but ended up putting it back on a jig. Just didn’t do right. 

I used to fish a Zoom Fat Albert  with a 3/16oz weight all the time. I caught lots of fish with it. I haven’t used one in years for some reason.

I use grubs on a t rig quite a bit, mostly 5” size. Great option when the fish are being finicky

Don’t hesitate to pick up something like a 4” Mr. Twister. Trig with a 1/0 hook. I fish weighted but to each his own I guess.

I don't, but my brother does, Weightless and with a light weight, and catches with both.

I fish the Zoom Fat Alberts like that. I use Gama Skip Gap 1/0 hook and a 1/8 ounce sinker. This has saved my day several times.

I do like to rig a PowerTeam Lures 4.5" grub on an old school offset worm hook. 

Any luck?

Heck yeah, go for it.  When I leaned how to Texas rig a worm, I tried with any plastic bait I had, provided the hook size worked.  T-rigged plastics of all types just plain catch.

Well, the Rage Tail Menace is a Big O version of a grub. This is my #1 presentation for

Tennessee smallmouth.

I do occasionally . One of the few times I use an EWG hook . Kalins use to have one they called Witches Brew that I had success with .

It was a very popular rig in the 90's. If you were a spinnerbait fisherman you always had a t-rigged grub on. 

 

Like @J Francho mentions, t-rig anything plastic will work.

Works great on finicky large mouth too.

Admittedly I had my share of bad days over the years. 
 

A grub, Fat Albert or PowerGrub has saved a skunking. Along with a Rat-L-Trap many times. 
 

Why didn’t I start my day off with them? I use to. 
 

Majority of time I rig sort of Slider Style, I’m a creature of habit from the 70’s and 80’s.

I am the same way. I start with Baby Brush Hogs and worms. Then go to craws. When none of these work then I get out the grubs or the centipedes.
