    Default Grub with Legs


    I was watching U Tube about Catching Red Ear using a Grub with Legs. It was supposed to be a image of a Cricket Look like it would work as well with Crappie. Does any one know who makes Grubs legs I would appreciate
    Thanks

    You can get some skirt material for spinnerbaits and use a darning needle and run it through the grub. Endless possiblities for colors

    Exactly what I've been doing for years, and IMO the best bluegill/redear bait you can throw. I outfished everybody in my boat all spawn last year, my bug, against their crickets and waxies.

    I use to do the grub thing alot and still do for certain trips but I finally got a mold cut to make the body style I wanted and designed. I wanted one that was a flatter but was still round...lol. I was after a certain rate of fall and I have that with this mold.

    Grouse. I might get me a mold made like that. How many of those you reckon can be poured up from a gallon of plastic.

    I like black and yellow body with yellow legs. A ton of different color combos will work, but I have had the best luck with this in all water conditions. I just use unpainted jigheads with them.

    I like black body with chartreuse or red legs. I go to Wally World and buy a couple of those junker spinner baits they sell with the decent skirts. I cut the skirt off, throw the spinner bait in the trash, take a large sewing needle (2/0) and put my own legs on the bodies. They are a ton cheaper and you can vary your colors to see what they want at that particular lake on that day.
