Table Rock chompers are my favorite spider grub.They smell bad but the action is excellent.
Rootbeer/green flake, dark melon pepper for colors. The jig head vary from fotball heads to chomper heads to Arkie heads. I look for a 3/0 hook. 10-12 lb test non braid line.Fluorocarbon line probably preferable but I use P-Line floroclear in the smaller lb test lines instead of fluorocarbon lines. There are quite a few spider grub brands, I have Yamamotos but I believe chompers and the Arkie crawlin grub outfishes the Yamamoto brand on a consistant basis.Of course that has been my experience and it probably doesn't apply to everyone. Ivan http://www.arkiejigs.com/Merchant2/m...tegory_Code=CG I like rootbeer/green flake and I also like the #5 brown/chartreuse laminated.

Dang Zooker, your arsenal has developed into a wider variety of lures.
I posted above under a different username, but its time to go back to the original username once again. Bassdozer has alot of spider grub articles, here is a few. http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/spring-hula.shtml http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/hawaiirig.shtml http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/hula-hallelujah.shtml http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/spider_grubs.shtml http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/spider-jig.shtml http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/grub-fishing.shtml |

lol.. pnj you know me of old. being well vested in ALL forms of angling is what i have always done..
you know i have done everything from dabbling in spring runs with a fly rod for brookies. to dragging a seth green rig loaded with suttons miles from shore.. bass anglin is not really that much differant from finesse shakey head fishing to high speed spinnerbait fishing. i have pretty much got an angle on everthing... zooker

What is a good size spider grub for a lake that is heavily pressured and the bass are normally less than 3 lbs?
Also what size jighead should I use, do I want a slow fall or a quick falling bait? I will be using them in the summer time if that helps. Last edited by jig fisherman; 11-15-08 at 02:54 PM. |

I use the exact same set up zooker, it catches fish and seems to work better for me in the spring.

Chompers are awesome here on Table Rock lake. I use them mainly in the winter and spring in the same places I throw a jig.
