Grubs

The Big Hammer Perch Grub is a compact, versatile soft grub built for anglers who fish both salt and fresh water. At 1.75 inches, it's the right size for a wide range of species — from surf perch, halibut, corbina, and croaker in the surf zone to crappie, bass, panfish, and smallmouth in freshwater lakes and rivers. It also works well on smaller saltwater bass and shallow rockfish when fish are keying on smaller forage.

Rig it on a light jig head and work it slowly through the surf, along structure, or over shallow flats. The grub tail produces a natural, pulsing action on the retrieve that draws strikes even from finicky fish.

Key Features

• 1.75" profile — compact size ideal for perch, crappie, panfish, and finesse presentations
• 25 per pack — great value for high-volume surf and freshwater fishing
• 18 colors available — wide selection for matching local forage in salt and fresh water
• Versatile applications — surf, inshore, shallow rockfish, freshwater lakes and rivers
• Target species — halibut, surf perch, corbina, croaker, crappie, bass, panfish, smallmouth

Specs

The Keitech Flapper Grub 4" brings back the classic grub style that exploded onto the bass fishing scene in the mid-1990s — updated with Keitech's modern engineering. The Flapper Grub is built for "chucking and winding" through the middle of the water column, and works equally well buzzed on the surface on a no-sinker rig. An upgraded take on an old favorite that still gets the job done.

Key Features

• Length: 4"
• Weight: approx. 1/4 oz
• Pack quantity: 7 per pack
• Recommended hook: Offset 1/0 or 2/0
• 7 colors available — Silver Shad, Sight Flash, Lime Chartreuse, Rootbeer, Green Pumpkin PP, Black, Pearl

Hook Hold System

The Hook Hold system positions the hook at the optimum location and prevents slippage, keeping the Flapper Grub running true on the retrieve.

Crank Guard Head Design

The Crank Guard recesses the hook into the head for improved weedlessness, added rigidity, and protection from debris on the retrieve.

It's the go-to when you want to keep it simple and let the bait do the work.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Jighead — thread onto a 1/8–1/4 oz round or football jighead for a natural swimming presentation; the curly tail pulses and flutters on a slow, steady retrieve or on the fall
• Spinnerbait Trailer — pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz spinnerbait to add tail action and a slightly slower fall that triggers strikes on the pause
• Buzzbait Trailer — pin onto a buzzbait to add a kicking tail action that keeps fish committed on the bite and improves hookset ratios
• Swim Jig Trailer — pin onto a 3/8 oz swim jig for a natural swimming presentation through grass edges, laydowns, and open water
• Carolina Rig — thread onto a 1/0–2/0 hook, 18–24" behind a 1/2–3/4 oz Carolina weight; drag slowly along the bottom for a natural, swimming presentation over hard structure

Best Conditions

• Year-round — the curly tail produces action in any water temperature and clarity

Tackle Express Tips

1. Match jighead weight to depth and retrieve speed — Use a 1/8 oz jighead for shallow, slow presentations (under 8ft) where you want a natural, drifting fall. Move to a 1/4 oz for mid-depth (8–18ft) or when you need to cover water faster. A 2/0 hook is the right size for the 4" body — don't go too heavy or you'll kill the tail action.
2. Luminous White for night fishing and low light — The Luminous White (#038) is one of the most underrated colors in the lineup — charge it with a flashlight before casting and it glows in the water, making it deadly for night bass fishing and low-light conditions. Chartreuse w/ Large Black Flake (#156) is your go-to reaction color in stained water during the day.
3. The 4" is the sweet spot for walleye — The 4" Single Tail Grub on a 1/8–1/4 oz jighead is one of the most proven walleye presentations ever made. Smoke w/ Large Black Flake (#231) and Chartreuse w/ Large Green & Chartreuse Flake (#169) are top walleye colors. Drag it slowly along the bottom or use a lift-and-drop retrieve over structure.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the 4" and 5" Single Tail Grub?
A: The 4" is the most versatile size — compact enough for finesse jighead presentations and light trailer applications, while still large enough to attract quality fish. The 5" has more bulk and a bigger profile, making it better for larger bass, pike, and situations where you want more bulk as a spinnerbait or buzzbait trailer. Start with the 4" for most situations and move to the 5" when you want more presence in the water.

Q: What jighead size works best with the 4" Single Tail Grub?
A: A 1/8–1/4 oz round jighead is the standard starting point. Use a 1/8 oz for a slower fall in shallow water or when fish are finicky, and a 1/4–3/8 oz for deeper water or when you need to cover water faster. A 2/0 hook is the right size for the 4" body.

Q: Is the 4" Single Tail Grub good for walleye?
A: Yes — it's one of the most proven walleye jighead baits available. The 4" profile is the ideal size for walleye, and the curly tail produces action at the slow retrieve speeds walleye prefer. Smoke w/ Large Black Flake and Chartreuse w/ Large Green & Chartreuse Flake are top walleye color picks.

It's the go-to when you want to keep it simple and let the bait do the work.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Jighead — thread onto a 1/4–3/8 oz round or football jighead for a simple, deadly swimming presentation; the curly tail pulses and flutters on a slow, steady retrieve or on the fall
• Spinnerbait Trailer — pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz spinnerbait to add bulk, a slower fall, and extra tail action that triggers strikes on the pause
• Buzzbait Trailer — pin onto a buzzbait to add a kicking tail action that keeps fish committed on the bite and improves hookset ratios

Tackle Express Tips

1. Match jighead weight to depth — Use a 1/8–1/4 oz jighead for shallow presentations (under 10ft) where you want a slow, natural fall. Move to a 3/8–1/2 oz jighead for deeper water (10–25ft) or when you need to cover water faster. The 5" curly tail produces action at any retrieve speed — the slower the better in cold water.
2. Green Pumpkin for natural bottom, Cream White for shad — Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake (#297) is your go-to in clear water over natural bottom. Switch to Cream White (#036) or Smoke w/ Large Black Flake (#150) when bass are keying on shad in open water, and use Cinnamon w/ Black Flake (#176) in stained water for a natural crawfish-matching color.
3. Slow down on the spinnerbait — The 5" Single Tail Grub adds significant bulk and a slower fall to a spinnerbait — use this to your advantage by slowing your retrieve speed. The extra bulk causes the spinnerbait to helicopter and flutter on the pause, which is often when fish commit. If fish are short-striking, slow down before switching colors.

FAQ

Q: What jighead size works best with the 5" Single Tail Grub?
A: A 1/4 oz round jighead is the standard starting point for most presentations. Use a 1/8 oz for a slower fall in shallow water or when fish are finicky, and a 3/8–1/2 oz for deeper water or when you need to cover water faster. A 3/0–4/0 hook is the right size for the 5" body.

Q: Is the 5" Single Tail Grub good for walleye and pike?
A: Yes — the 5" profile is an excellent size for walleye on a jighead and for pike on a larger jighead or as a spinnerbait trailer. Cream White and Smoke w/ Large Black Flake are top walleye colors, while Baby Bass and Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake work well for pike in clear water.

Q: How does the 5" compare to smaller grub sizes?
A: The 5" is the go-to when you want a bigger profile to target medium to large bass or multi-species. It adds more bulk and a slower fall as a trailer compared to smaller sizes, and produces more water displacement on a jighead. Choose the 5" when you want to target larger fish or when a bigger profile gets more bites in your conditions.

Why Buy the Yamamoto Double Tail Grub?

The Yamamoto Double Tail Grub is the go-to when you need more action, more bulk, and more disturbance than a single tail grub can deliver. Two curly tails working simultaneously create a larger disturbance that helps fish hone in on your bait from a distance — making it one of the most effective jig trailers, spider jig components, and spinnerbait trailers in the Yamamoto lineup. Add it to a Yamamoto Skirt to build your own custom spider jig color combination, or pin it onto a spinnerbait to slow your retrieve and add extra bulk and resistance. Available in 4" and 5" sizes, 20 per pack.

Main Use & Benefit

A dual curly tail grub available in 4" and 5" sizes that produces twice the disturbance and action of a single tail — ideal as a jig trailer, spider jig component, and spinnerbait trailer where extra bulk, resistance, and tail action trigger strikes that a single tail can't match.

Problem It Solves

A single tail grub adds action to a jig or spinnerbait, but sometimes you need more — more bulk to slow the fall, more disturbance to attract fish from a distance, and more tail action to trigger strikes on the pause. The Double Tail Grub's two curly tails deliver all three, making it the upgrade choice when a single tail isn't getting the job done.

Advantages

• ✅ Dual curly tails — twice the disturbance and action of a single tail grub
• ✅ Extra bulk and resistance — slows the fall and retrieve on jigs and spinnerbaits
• ✅ Spider jig compatible — pairs with Yamamoto Skirts for custom color combinations
• ✅ Yamamoto soft plastic formula — supple for great hook penetration, realistic feel
• ✅ Available in 4" and 5" sizes — choose based on jig size and target species
• ✅ Wide range of proven Yamamoto colors
• ✅ 20 per pack
• ⚠️ More bulk than a single tail — can overpower smaller jigs; best on 3/8 oz and larger

When to Choose It

Reach for the Double Tail Grub when you want to add more action, bulk, and disturbance to a jig or spinnerbait than a single tail can provide — especially when you need to slow your retrieve, when fish are keying on a larger profile, or when you want to build a custom spider jig with a Yamamoto Skirt. Choose the 4" for standard jig and spinnerbait applications, and the 5" when you want maximum bulk and a slower fall on larger jigs.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Jig Trailer — pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz flipping jig, football jig, or swim jig; the dual tails add kicking action on every hop and a slower fall that triggers strikes on the pause
• Spider Jig — combine with a Yamamoto Skirt on a round head jig for a custom spider jig; the dual tails complement the skirt's action for a full, pulsing presentation
• Spinnerbait Trailer — pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz spinnerbait to add bulk, resistance, and dual tail action that slows the retrieve and triggers strikes on the pause
• Buzzbait Trailer — pin onto a buzzbait for extra bulk and a kicking tail action that keeps fish committed on the bite
• Jighead — thread onto a 1/4–3/8 oz round jighead for a standalone swimming presentation with maximum tail action

Best Conditions

• Stained to murky water where extra disturbance helps fish locate the bait
• Heavy cover and structure where a slower fall triggers more strikes
• Warm water (summer and early fall) when bass are active and keying on larger profiles
• Year-round as a jig trailer — the dual tails produce action in any water temperature
• Any depth — equally effective shallow on spinnerbait and deep on football jig

Tackle Express Tips

1. Match size to jig weight — Use the 4" Double Tail on jigs 3/8 oz and under for a balanced profile. Move to the 5" on 1/2 oz and larger jigs — the extra bulk and resistance of the 5" complements heavier jigs and produces a slower, more enticing fall on football jigs dragged over deep structure.
2. Build a spider jig with a Yamamoto Skirt — The Double Tail Grub is one of the best spider jig components available. Pair a Cinnamon w/ Black & Purple Flake 4" with a matching Yamamoto Skirt on a 3/8 oz round head jig for a custom color combination that's deadly for largemouth in heavy cover. The dual tails complement the skirt's pulsing action perfectly.
3. Slow down on the spinnerbait — The Double Tail Grub adds significant bulk and resistance to a spinnerbait — use this to your advantage by slowing your retrieve speed. The extra bulk causes the spinnerbait to helicopter and flutter on the pause, and the dual tails keep working even when the blade stops. If fish are short-striking, slow down before switching colors.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the 4" and 5" Double Tail Grub?
A: The 4" is the standard size for most jig trailer and spinnerbait applications — it adds bulk and dual tail action without overpowering smaller jigs (3/8 oz and under). The 5" has more bulk and resistance, making it better for larger jigs (1/2 oz and up), football jig trailers on deep structure, and situations where you want maximum bulk and a slower fall.

Q: How do I build a spider jig with the Double Tail Grub?
A: Thread the Double Tail Grub onto a 3/8–1/2 oz round head jig, then slide a Yamamoto Skirt up the hook shank so it sits behind the jig head. The skirt's tentacles and the grub's dual tails work together to create a full, pulsing presentation. Match the grub color to the skirt color or go contrasting for a reaction color combination.

Q: Can the Double Tail Grub be fished solo on a jighead?
A: Yes — thread it onto a 1/4–3/8 oz round jighead for a standalone presentation with maximum tail action. The dual tails produce significantly more disturbance than a single tail grub on the same jighead, making it effective in stained water and when fish are keying on a larger, more active profile.
