Swimming Weightless Grubs for Bass

What do most anglers envision when someone mentions a curly tail grub? Jigheads, tough conditions, and panfish? 

Perhaps but truth is these simple looking baits catch bass of all sizes, under a variety of conditions and have been doing so for decades!

Every angler is probably familiar with the common methods of fishing grubs (jighead, drop shot, split shot). There is one presentation however that is not often discussed ... rigging the grub on a weedless-style hook and swimming it near the surface through shallow cover. 

It can be deadly!

Take a moment as the guys from W2F give a great on the water demo on rigging and presenting a weightless grub for shallow water bass!

Though Kyle mentions Yum curly tails (which I'm not sure is even made anymore) in the video, a few other suggestions would be 5" grubs from Yamamoto, Kalin, Mister Twister or Big Bite Baits. 

If you really want to get fancy and up-size the rig, try Kalin's Mogambo 6" curly tail just remember to up-size the hook too!
