Thanks for the info Jeff.

I mainly fish the salt and my go to bait is always 3" or 4" grubs rigged on a 1/4 oz head. The most important thing to remember is to try and keep the in contact with the bottom. This means you need a slower retreive.

Give grub fishing a shot and you will start catching more fish!!!

A lot of good info, when I first started fishing the bay almost 25yrs ago that's all I fished. 3" root beer and green pepper. Killed the sportiest but that was back then

What color heads are you looking for?
I can probably do up some.
How heavy of a hook do you prefer?

Chartreuse with red& black eyes..I know, sounds funny but..they tend to work better with eyes on them. I'd be happy to pay or trade for some in 1/4 oz with thin wire #2 hooks.

Let me know if it's doable. Thanks

That would be good.
I'm more interested in seeing the hook size
Do you ever fish football heads?

I've heard these lizard fish are great bait, especially for halibut. How do you fish these? I guess you'd need a well on your tube? or just snout hook the lizzie on another rod and send it out? Do you troll it? or just let the fish run? Sorry if that's a basic question.. I've never fished live bait. Thanks. -Jay Cool

I could swear I replied to this.???

No footballs in the salt, only in fresh water.

Anyway, the hook is a size 2 thin wire mustad.

If you want one that I have, let me know. Thanks

For a single tail grub, rig with the tail up or down?
