curly tail grubs for large mouths.

How do curly tail jigs work for bass? I am trying to find some good lures for my 9 year old to start out with that are not to complicated. Do any of you do well for bass with them?

A 4" curl tail can be very versatile, you can rig on a jig head, then swim it or hop it. It can be rigged texas style with or without a slip sinker. With the sinker you can work it through the weeds, without you can swim it along the surface. It can be nose hooked on a drop shot, split shot rigged, on and on. Don't skimp on colors, get a good variety.

A grub also makes a good trailer on a spinner bait, which is an excellent starter bait. Again it is very versatile, can be fished deep, shallow, burned, slow rolled, etc. Have fun.

What he said. I have caught tons of bass on curly tails! Favorite colors are black and crawfish colored ones. Also try tube jigs.

Don't forget Carolina rigged. Curly tails are very good at catching bass. I have caught largemouth, smallmouth, and white bass on curly tail jigs of different sizes. I have used these colors and I know others will work too. Chartreuse, white, smoke. They come with or without silver flecks. I have a plastics wallet full of them. Also the plastic worms fished Texas style are killer too. Spinnerbaits, cranks baits, buzz baits, and poppers are all great baits too.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I am going to get him set up with a bunch of these. We fish mantua almost exclusively. I bet dragging them over the tops of the weeds this summer might get my boy into them. Maybe some big blue gills too.
