About the Grub Jig

A chartreuse single-tail grub on a 1/4 oz lead jig head — one of the most underrated and deadly finesse presentations in freshwater fishing. The curly tail pulses and flutters on every pause, mimicking a dying shad or small baitfish. Deadly on bass, crappie, and walleye alike. Swim it steadily, hop it off the bottom, or drag it slowly through suspended fish — it catches fish in every season.
