jebby,

I'm beginning to prefer the "fluke" shaped plastics over the classic grub when jigging for walleye. Still, you can't go wrong to have the twistertailed grubs in your line up.

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

I have always done well on Yum grubs for walleye, bumblebee being my favourite color. 3 inch of course... I'm not much of a walleye guy but this always seems to get them on the kawarthas.

Paddle tails work very well also, like the Berkeley Jigworm. Might have a tough time finding them though. The best plastics in the waters I fish though is the Lunker City Finn-S.

The best twister tail grubs have been the 3" Kalin's Grubs...they are pretty hard to find as the company has been recently purchased.In clear water the blue -white-silver has been a very productive colour. Another favorite of mine is the Gambler 4" Flapp'n Shad, nice thump in the tail and works great pitching or vertical jigging.

6'' Saltwater series Flapp'n shads have been producing numbers of walleye this year too....I use to have a few Kalins tournament sample packs with a few of their grubs in it...Don't think I got arounf to trying them out though....

My favorite grubs are made by YUM .....I have has numerous fish miss the baits ,them come back for it a few times then take it....LPT :D

I like the 3" Kalin's Grubs as well ( I picked them up at the Valley Fishing show in the bargin bins :D )...I also really like the Phanton Grubs as they add some extra bulk which the fish want sometimes.

Also don't discount the tubes in white :wink:

The plastics that work the best for me are the ones that catch the fish :P
For Ottawa area waters....WHITE seems to be the colour (or lack of) and I like using power grubs/minnows!

I as out getting skunked on Erie sat. with my brother and live bait was not working at all. Was using a bunch of stuff without any hits and decided to switch up and throw on a Berkly Power Bait white twister tail on a jig. First cast I was slammed by a nice sized smallie but I lost it at the boat. We left shortly after that but I was sure it was the ticket.

For bass I really like the senko's or similar.

Thanks

Another great plastic that works for walleye is the new "Realstix" from Berkley. I have only used the perch pattern but have had great luck with them so far.
