OLD FAT ALBERT OR SIMILAR GRUBS

Featured Replies

Hey Fellas: I ran out of Fat Albets this year. I had the old ones without the curly tails they have now. The tail on the older ones resembled the tail on a Manns Jelly Worm. Any fat grubs with such tails on the market anymore?

Weren't they called a stingray grub or something like that?

No, FAT ALBET by ZOOM, they have a twist tail now, the older ones had a different tail.

Not sure about what you're looking for but the Stingray Grug had a single tail shaped like what you describe and was made by Manns.

Probably no help.

Mann's Sting Ray grubs are still available and seem to be the only single flat tail grub. The "beaver" style grubs may be another option of you remove the side appendages.

Tin sent me a PM also. The only explation I can come up with I bought 2 bags of 50 of these a few years back,from a garage sale in Tuxedo NY. They were in Zoom bags in my tackle bag, either the guy used zoom bags ( most probable) with grubs he had, or I switched bags and do not remember. Either way I am going with you fellas, they were not Fat Alberts to begin with!  I want to find a fat grub with a flat tail.

Wow, Thought I was one of the only ones left using the Mann's Sting Ray grub.  Smallmouths around here tear'em up.  I bought 100 lot bags of them a while back and not sure if Manns still makes them or not.  Please post what you find out.
