Bigg Mouth Fishing 3.5 Inch Curly Tail Grub Soft Plastic Baits
How, where, and why it excels
Bladed Jig Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz) — situational
When & where: Stained water with shad/bluegill, wind on grass edges.
How: Medium retrieve with 1–2 stalls per cast; tail adds a rolling accent to the blade pulse.
Why: Curly tail softens the thump for pressured fish vs. boot tails.
Spinnerbait Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz)
When & where: Wind lanes, rip‑rap, and grass points.
How: Slow‑roll until you tick cover, then pause to let the tail keep kicking on the fall.
Why: Adds body and a fluid tail for lift at slower speeds.
Swim Jig Trailer (1/4–3/8 oz)
When & where: Sparse grass and wood with bluegill presence.
How: Steady retrieve with occasional pops to flare the skirt; tail continues on the kill.
Why: Smooths cadence and keeps the bait tracking through cover.
Underspin (1/8–3/8 oz)
When & where: Suspended bait over points and marinas; shad spawn.
How: Count‑down and slow‑roll mid‑column; add stalls to let the tail breathe and the blade flash.
Carolina Rig (light • 1/8–1/4 oz • 18–30" leader)
When & where: Gravel points, saddles, sand‑to‑rock transitions.
How: Slow pull‑pause; feed slack so the tail swims on the glide.
Standard (Ball) Jig Head (1/16–1/4 oz)
When & where: Banks, rip‑rap, current seams; multispecies.
How: Slow crawl; lift‑drop; swim‑kill over rock; watch line on the fall.
Why: Bread‑and‑butter grub presentation for bass, walleye, and more.
Texas Rig (light, 1/16–1/8 oz)
When & where: Brush, docks, grass lanes where open hooks hang.
How: Swim‑and‑kill through lanes; short pitches to shade pockets.
Weighted Swim Bait Hook (1/16–3/16 oz) — situational
When & where: Shallow grass flats and wood with open lanes.
How: Slow swim; occasional pauses; the tail keeps it moving even on slack.
Weightless Rig (situational)
When & where: Calm mornings; tight cover where a silent entry sells the bite.
How: Cast past target; glide and twitch; let the tail do the work.
Tuning & Mods (quick hits)
- Tail trim: Narrow the tip slightly for colder water to tighten the kick.
- Keeper glue: Dot of gel on jig keepers extends bait life.
- Line: 8–12 lb fluoro for jigheads/rigs; 15–30 lb braid + leader for trailers in grass.
Dial it in
- Clear (6–10+ ft): Smoke, watermelon, natural browns. Why: Subtle body + tail flash without bulk.
- Stained (2–6 ft): Green pumpkin variants, GP shad, brown/amber flake. Why: Tracks better while staying natural.
- Muddy / Low light: Black/black‑blue, opaque white, chartreuse accents. Why: Silhouette and visibility; slow the retrieve.
Tip: On windblown rock, a touch of chartreuse on the tail can extend follow distance.

Proof & Community
On‑the‑Water Notes
- Cold fronts: Downsize head and slow‑roll; most bites on the kill with a tail that keeps moving.
- Wind on points: Spinnerbait trailer to keep lift at crawl speeds; pause after ticking rock.
- River seams: Ball‑head lift‑drop; let current work the tail; keep bottom honest.
Q&A
Q: Why a curly tail grub in 2025?
A: The low‑speed kick and compact body still outfish flashier profiles in pressure and cold‑front windows, plus it cross‑targets bass and walleye.
Q: What hook sizes work best?
A: Ball heads #2–2/0 depending on cover; Texas with 2/0 EWG for grass/brush; underspins with 1/0–2/0 light‑wire.
