How to Fish Grubs for Smallmouth Bass in Clear Water

- It's easy to forget about grubs in a tackle world filled with paddle tail swimbaits, Ned rigs, and other swimming plastics, but that's a mistake. Wired2fish's Nick Dumke takes us on a grub fishing adventure for smallmouth bass, demonstrating the effectiveness of grubs in clear water. This video focuses on when and how to fish grubs for smallmouth bass but is equally valid for largemouth and spotted bass wherever clear water abounds.

Dumke details the versatility of the grub. While perhaps not as realistic to the human eye as a minnow-imitating swimbait, a grub comes to life with slight motion. Dumke discusses a grub's unique ability to resemble a range of forage and trick visually discerning bass into biting with its gently undulating tail action.
Dumke highlights the importance of rigging a grub correctly to mimic natural fish food, which can be the game-changer between a successful and unsuccessful day of fishing. He demonstrates the importance of perfect threading on a jig head to ensure a natural presentation. Get it right, and a grub comes to life with a natural side-to-side rocking motion.
While a range of jig heads work, Dumke favors a classic round ball head, which careens its way through cover such as rock and wood with minimal hang-ups. A longer medium power spinning rod equipped with a 3000-size reel offers a smoother drag and increases your casting distance, an essential element in clear water.

I don't swim them too much. I use a slow retrieve and bounce it. Usually I get bites when it's dropping. My favorite is always pumpkin seed color. I absolutely love going out with people with 50lb tackle boxes and I show up with a pack of plastics and jig heads then out fish em. My all time favorite bass bait
Upper Potomac River smallmouth still like a grub. 😊 Thanks for a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I fish the Delaware river regularly and a white grub on a jig head has probably been the most productive bait I use, along with mepps spinners and rapala jerk baits
Excellent job Mr.Dumke!
fun video. great job
Super!

I am just starting to learn about bass fishing. I was pretty much Born and raised on trout fishing but i want to try something different I'm start trying to catch other species of fish. by watching this video and techniques is going to definitely help me and give me some great ideas. I don't have a big lake or anything like that to fish for bass but I do have a canal here and there are some nice bass in there. I think most of them are pretty much done laying their eggs now and they're hungry.
Just going by what the Pennsylvania fish and game commission had told me. Thanks and I enjoyed watching this video
Faylor lake in Snyder county. Fish the shallow end creak fed end by lilly pads. You'll rip out bass nonstop. Great hidden gem small Pa lake

Thank you very much for information,
I truly do appreciate it a lot
Great vid! Tail up or down when rigging? Thanks!
As usual mr dumke is catchin em
Tail up! Tail down can lead to line twist.
@@brianbowman1148 as long as dumke is catching em he can rig them backwards I don’t mind
What color is that grub because i went to the link and Berkley website and i can't find that color
What color is that grub because i went to the link in and Berkley site and i didn't see that color
Good attention to detail. We couldn't fine either on most tackle shops but a google search will pull up a few. It's the Berkley Power Grub (4''), color - Pro Blue Red Pearl.
@@Wired2Fish thanks
What lake?
I use grub ex
Tried a true technique and will catch big large mouth aswell. Always remember kids there is no school like the old school so anytime you can get advise from that old man using a zebco fishing from the bank listen closely.

I'm surprised he is reeling against the drag like that.I guess he likes line twist?
Now you are cooking with gas...
Take as back to Old School...
