Grubs are probably known more for catching smallmouth bass, but they can also be very effective for largemouth bass. Whether you choose to vertically jig them, hop them along or swim them, you have several options for catching largemouth bass.
Popular Techniques
Swim Them
Swimming them is a very popular technique for smallmouth bass and it will work well for largemouth bass as well. For largemouth bass though, you may want to pick the peak feeding times because more bass will be active and willing to chase a bait.
Hop Them Along the Bottom
You can hop a grub along the bottom just like you would do when fishing for smallmouth bass and it can be effective for largemouth bass. Pick a rocky bottom or an area where you can fish it close to cover without getting hung up.

Jighead
A simple jighead is a great way to fish a curly tail grub. The 4 to 5 inch grubs are very popular for largemouth bass and they work great on a regular jighead. If you use the jigheads that have a longer shank, you will get better hookups, but you don’t need a fancy rig to catch bass with a grub.
