Grub Size

Post by Scattergun2570 » Sun Apr 10, 2016 5:40 am

How do you decide what size grubs to use? I would like to order some, and in looking at some , it seems like 3.5 are small,4 seem ok,, but knowing the nature of Largemouth Bass, I can't see why I shouldnt throw 5" all the time... Your thoughts ?

As fly fisherman say, "match the hatch". So, match the size of your grub to the size of the forage the bass are feeding on.

5" kalins salt grubs have taken more quaility largmouth for me than i can Count. While i don't seriously chase greenies much anymore, when i did, i would always have them on the water with me. 4" have always worked better for me with smallmouth tho
Never hurts to match the hatch like mattman said

The only 2 grubs I've used to specifically target largemouth have been 5" Kalin's Lunker Grubs and 4" BPS Squirmin' Grubs

If I am just throwing a grub then I throw a 5" Kalin grub using either an 1/8 or 1/4 oz darthead. I use a medium light rod and wow :big grin: what a fight.

5" Kalin grubs here too- I also really like Cabela's fat 5" grubs as well.

5" for me as well, either a yamamoto single tail grub or a kalin's (kalin's are infinitely more durable that the yamamoto)
