favorite curl tail grub

[huntinslabs]

My favorite curl tails are Bobby Garland Stroll'R, Southern Pro Hotgrub and Bass Pro Cajun Critters. I use the Shadpoles as well but not as much as the others.

What size do you guys prefer for the Black Crappies??

Never cared for, nor used curly tail grubs ... but, if I did or wanted to start, I'd seriously take a look at Slab-a-nators Jigs. I do use their Shad Body & Hot Rod baits. Soft, but durable plastics & come in a large array of color combos ... plus you can get custom colors by request.

i've never been a big curly tail guy. most any i've ever used has always required too much movement to get a good wiggle to them. as i primarily vertical jig, i like stinger shad style baits, and triple ripples when they like to hit on the fall. This year I decided to try the fle fly go go minnows. it is a minnow body, curl tail lure. i've had really great luck with them and unlike most curl tails, they take almost no movement to really give that tail a good action.

the only problem is the only place i can get them is bass pro, which i do not like to give them any more of my business than i have to, and they only make a couple colors that i really like.

do you know of any curl tails similar to the go go minnow that doesn't have to be cranked at 5 mph to get a good tail whip? i have tried a couple others since and they have been terrible. thanks

For what you are looking for take a look at their curly tail minnows.

My wife and I caught all these with slab-a-nator slab twister grubs.

This company was in Missouri and if you called them they would send them to you in bulk.I have used about all the colors....but black comet has caught the most fish for me. The only problem is their consistency in the color of the black comet...it needs to black back,white silver belly and tail and flecks of sparkle in it to be the best. Occasionally they turn out a batch that does not swim as well as others.Look at the reviews on this lure...you don't have to take it from me. I am not even going to try to tell you how many fish I have caught with them because you would not believe me.

BUT.....sometime about a year ago or so I started throwing the Shadpole CT...man those things are wicked. Thrown on a 1/16 oz jighead with the right hook size for the beefy body...fish are just totally fooled. You also need the right shank design to hold them well and preserve the bait because as mentioned they are soft.But the tail just goes crazy even on the fall...I pitch that thing in among em and you dont even have to turn the handle most times they will thump it on the fall.

I special order the "lunker grip" round heads from Lunker city.It's a pain and they are expensive but they hold solid body bait so well without damaging it they are awesome.I use other heads to but I always like to try have some ....they work great with the swimmin minnows...but you need the smaller hook size in the ultralite round head for the smaller bait. The CT need the bigger hook in the standard round head.

I have several of these swimming minnows I bought long time ago when the company I bought them from was discontinuing them I bought every pack they had ( about 200 packs) still have probably 100 packs left I would sell for $1.00 a pack ( keeping the rest) if someone would like to buy them they have thin tails and move easily .

These are the best I have used. Only trouble is I can no longer get them. These were sold by Dicks. have been told they are no longer sold. I always used the Black smoke with silver flake. If anyone has access to these I would like info.

Yawl need to try the Go Go minnows sometime ......best curly tail I ever used for sure.....will swim with almost zero movement .....really nice if you are a curly tail user ......
