Spider Jigs

Keitech Little Spider 2" is a compact soft-plastic bait for finesse bass presentations on a jig head, drop shot, or small jig. Each pack contains 8 baits in your selected color. The PVC compound carries Keitech's strong squid scent and gives you a small-profile alternative when you want to downsize.

Features and rigging

• 2-inch profile: Fits compact finesse presentations.
• PVC compound: Keitech changed the earlier rubber material to PVC to support its color patterns and squid scent.
• Several rigging options: Keitech recommends Fine Guard and Mono Guard jig heads for this size, a Mono Spin Jig trailer presentation, and drop-shot use.

For a jig-head setup, compare the Keitech Tungsten Fine Guard Jig Head. Choose a head weight for your depth and drift, and check the hook's fit against the bait before threading it on.

Choose your color

Listed options include Black, Sahara Olive, Scuppernong, Green Pumpkin Pepper Blue, Green Pumpkin Pepper, Blue Back Cinnamon, Brown Purple, Natural Craw, Watermelon PP Red Flake, and Green Pumpkin Green & Purple Flake. Use the selector for the exact label and current availability. Start with a color that resembles local forage, then compare a darker silhouette when you want more contrast.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Rig the body straight. Lay the hook alongside the bait to plan the exit point before threading it. Recheck after a fish or a snag pulls the plastic out of position.
2. Start with small movements. Try a short lift or gentle shake followed by a pause. Change one part of your cadence at a time to see what draws a response.
3. Match weight to control. Begin with a light jig head or drop-shot weight that lets you track the presentation. Increase weight if wind or current prevents you from keeping it where you intend.

Frequently asked questions

How many baits come in a pack?

The 2-inch Little Spider comes with eight baits.

Is this the older rubber version?

Keitech's current Little Spider uses a PVC compound in place of the earlier rubber material.

Can I fish it on a drop shot?

Yes. Keitech lists a drop shot among the recommended presentations for the 2-inch bait.

Which jig head should I consider?

Keitech recommends its Fine Guard or Mono Guard head for this size. Check hook fit and choose weight for your conditions.

Does it have scent?

Yes. Keitech adds its strong squid scent to this bait.

Keitech Little Spider 3" is a squid-scented soft-plastic bait for finesse bass fishing. Choose it when you want a larger profile than the 2-inch Little Spider while keeping jig-head, drop-shot, and jig-trailer options open. Each pack contains 8 baits in the selected color.

Features and specifications

• Length: 3 inches
• Quantity: 8 baits per pack
• Material: PVC compound, replacing the earlier rubber material
• Scent: Keitech's strong squid scent
• Rigging: Fine Guard or Mono Guard jig head, Guard Spin Jig trailer, or drop shot, as recommended by Keitech

Choose a presentation and color

Try a jig head when you want to work the bait near bottom, or a drop shot to position it above the sinker. Check hook fit before rigging so the body sits straight and the hook point has clearance.

Listed colors include Black, Sahara Olive Flake, Green Pumpkin Pepper, Green Pumpkin Blue, Blue Back Cinnamon, Brown Purple, Green Pumpkin Jelly, and Watermelon PP Red Flake. Begin with a forage-matching color and compare a contrasting option when needed. Use the selector for exact labels and availability.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Check the rig beside you. Watch the bait as you move the rod. Straighten the body if it twists or sits crooked on the hook.
2. Work the pause. Alternate a short movement with a pause. Adjust pause length before changing both your color and rig.
3. Keep track of depth. On a drop shot, set the hook-to-sinker distance for where you want the bait to sit, then adjust as bottom cover changes.

Frequently asked questions

How many are included?

Eight 3-inch baits in your selected color.

Is it made from rubber?

The current version uses a PVC compound. Keitech changed the earlier rubber material to support its colors and squid scent.

Can I use it as a jig trailer?

Yes. Keitech specifically recommends the Guard Spin Jig for the 3-inch Little Spider.

Can it be drop-shotted?

Yes. A drop shot is one of Keitech's recommended presentations for this size.

Keitech Little Spider 3.5" is a squid-scented soft-plastic bait for anglers wanting a larger Little Spider profile on a football head or as a jig trailer. Each pack contains five 3.5-inch baits in your chosen color.

Features and specifications

• Size: 3.5 inches
• Pack quantity: 5 baits
• Material: PVC compound
• Scent: Keitech's strong squid scent
• Recommended presentations: Super Football Head, Model II Jig trailer, or drop shot

Keitech replaced the earlier rubber material with PVC to support its color patterns and squid scent. The 3.5-inch version gives you another profile to compare when the smaller Little Spider sizes do not match the presentation you want.

Choose your setup

Try a football head for a bottom-oriented presentation, or add the bait to a Model II Jig as a trailer. Lay the hook beside the body before rigging to check the exit point and hook clearance. For a drop shot, choose your hook and weight around the cover, depth, and current.

The color selector lists Scuppernong, Green Pumpkin PP Blue, Black, Green Pumpkin Pepper, Brown Purple, and Blue Back Cinnamon. Compare a forage-matching option with a darker silhouette; change one part of your presentation at a time when testing colors.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Check the trailer's alignment. Thread the body straight onto the hook and inspect it after a strike. A crooked or bunched-up bait can change how the rig moves.
2. Use weight to maintain control. Start with a head or sinker that lets you follow the bottom or hold your intended depth. Increase weight when drift makes the presentation difficult to track.
3. Give each movement a pause. Try short lifts rather than constant shaking, then adjust the pause length based on fish response.

Why Buy the Yamamoto 2.5" Double Tail Hula Grub?

When bass are lock-jawed and nothing else is working, the 2.5" Double Tail Hula Grub is your secret weapon. This micro-sized evolution of Gary Yamamoto's iconic Hula Grub — a tournament staple since the 1980s — delivers the same proven three-part action (body shimmy, skirt flutter, twin tail kick) in a bite-sized profile that finicky bass, smallmouth, and panfish simply can't resist. 10 per pack at $6.43.

Main Use & Benefit

A 2.5-inch micro finesse soft plastic grub designed for ultra-light presentations targeting pressured bass, smallmouth, spotted bass, and panfish in clear water and tough conditions — effective on Ned rigs, drop shots, light jig heads, and shakey heads.

Problem It Solves

When the 4" and 5" Hula Grubs are too large for finicky fish, the 2.5" steps in with the same proven action in a profile that matches the smallest forage — perfect for post-frontal conditions, ultra-clear water, heavily pressured fisheries, and situations where downsizing is the only way to get bit.

Advantages

• ✅ Micro 2.5" profile — matches the smallest forage and triggers finicky fish
• ✅ Same three-part action as the larger sizes: body shimmy + skirt flutter + twin tail kick
• ✅ Salt-infused formula — natural feel, controlled sink rate, fish hold on longer
• ✅ Effective for bass, smallmouth, spotted bass, and panfish
• ✅ 8 proven color patterns — more color options than the 4" size
• ✅ 10 per pack at $6.43 — best value in the Hula Grub lineup
• ⚠️ Not a power fishing bait — designed exclusively for finesse and ultra-light presentations

When to Choose It

Reach for the 2.5" when bass are post-frontal and refusing larger baits, you're fishing ultra-clear water where big profiles spook fish, targeting smallmouth and spotted bass that prefer micro presentations, or fishing panfish and crappie on ultra-light tackle. It's the smallest tool in the Hula Grub lineup — and often the most effective when conditions get tough.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Ned Rig — thread onto a 1/16–3/16 oz Ned head for a stand-up presentation on hard bottom; the skirt and tails flutter naturally on the lightest shake
• Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12–18" above a drop shot weight; hover and shake over structure for maximum skirt and tail action
• Shakey Head — slow drag on rock, gravel, and hard bottom; deadly on smallmouth in rivers and highland reservoirs
• Light Jig Head (1/16–1/8 oz) — swim or hop through open water and sparse cover for a baitfish or insect imitation
• Wacky Rig — hook through the body for a fluttering fall around docks and laydowns on ultra-light tackle

Best Conditions

• Ultra-clear water (visibility 3ft+) where larger profiles spook fish
• Post-frontal high pressure and slow-bite days
• Heavily pressured tournament lakes
• Smallmouth rivers, rocky highland reservoirs, and clear natural lakes
• Panfish and crappie on ultra-light tackle

Best For

Key Features

• 2.5-inch micro profile — Senko-style body + pulsating skirt + twin curly tails in the smallest Hula Grub size
• Salt-infused Yamamoto formula — natural feel, controlled sink rate, fish hold on longer
• Versatile rigging — Ned, drop shot, shakey head, light jig head, and wacky rig
• Durable soft plastic — resists tearing through multiple fish and casts
• 8 proven color patterns — matched to small forage across all water clarities
• 10 per pack

Models & Specs

Size: 2.5" | Count: 10 per pack | Water Type: Freshwater

Tackle Express Tips

1. Go ultra-light on the jig head — The 2.5" shines on 1/16 oz Ned heads in shallow water and 3/16 oz in deeper presentations. The lighter the head, the more the skirt and tails flutter on the fall.
2. Blue Craw for stained water — Blue Craw / Green Pumpkin is a standout color in stained or tannic water. Baby Bass and Watermelon are your top picks in clear water conditions.
3. Target panfish too — The 2.5" Hula Grub on a 1/16 oz jig head is a deadly crappie and bluegill bait. Don't overlook it as a multi-species finesse option when bass aren't cooperating.

FAQ

Q: How does the 2.5" compare to the 4" and 5" Double Tail Hula Grub?
A: The 2.5" is the micro finesse option — designed for ultra-light tackle, pressured fish, smallmouth, and panfish. The 4" is the all-around finesse size for bass, and the 5" is the big-fish, offshore power option. Use the 2.5" when downsizing is the only way to get bit.

Q: Can I use the 2.5" Hula Grub for crappie and panfish?
A: Absolutely — it's one of the best panfish baits in the Yamamoto lineup. Rig it on a 1/16 oz jig head and swim or hop it through brush piles, docks, and open water. Baby Bass and Smoke colors are especially effective for crappie.

Q: What hook size works best for drop shotting the 2.5" Hula Grub?
A: A #1 or #2 Gamakatsu Octopus Hook or Owner Mosquito Hook nose-hooked works perfectly. Keep the hook light to allow maximum skirt and tail movement on the shake.

The Yamamoto 4" Double Tail Hula Grub is a middle size creature bait but still catches big largemouth bass.  This simple bait is tailored for finesse fishing in pressured waters but is effective at caching bass in any water. When bass fishing gets tough, this plastic paired with a football jig head, can make the difference and catch you lots of bass.

This bite-sized grub combines a Senko-style body for subtle undulation, a free-flowing skirt for lifelike pulsation, and twin curly tails that thump and flutter to mimic small forage like baitfish or insects.

Infused with salt for buoyancy and natural sink rate, it excels in clear or stained water, drawing strikes from finicky bass, smallmouth, or panfish. Available in 8 proven colors, it's a go-to for light tackle setups, delivering unmatched action without added weight.

Key Features:

• Versatile Design: Skirt adds vibration and realism; double tails kick vigorously on retrieve or hop; salt-loaded for weightless rigging.
• Finesse Focus: Compact profile imitates small prey; stays on hooks well during slow drags or deadsticking.
• Durable Formula: Yamamoto's proprietary soft plastic resists tears; floats subtly for bottom-hugging presentations.
• Proven Performance: Wins tournaments on Ned rigs or shakey heads; ideal for rivers, ponds, or deep structure.

Why Buy the Yamamoto 5" Double Tail Hula Grub?

Few soft plastics have the tournament pedigree of the Yamamoto Double Tail Hula Grub. This 5-inch workhorse combines a Senko-style body, a pulsating skirt, and twin curly tails that thump and kick on every hop — mimicking crawfish, baitfish, and insects with a multi-action profile that triggers bass year-round. Salt-infused for natural feel and bite-holding power, it's a proven big-fish bait that belongs in every serious angler's box. 10 per pack.

Main Use & Benefit

A versatile 5-inch multi-action soft plastic grub designed to trigger strikes from largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass through a combination of body shimmy, skirt flutter, and twin curly tail kick — effective from shallow flats to deep offshore structure year-round.

Problem It Solves

Single-action baits only trigger fish one way. The Double Tail Hula Grub's three-part action — body wiggle, skirt pulse, and tail thump — creates a complex, lifelike profile that triggers reaction strikes and feeding responses simultaneously, making it effective across a wider range of conditions and retrieve styles than a standard grub or creature bait.

Advantages

• ✅ Three-part action: body shimmy + skirt flutter + twin tail kick
• ✅ Salt-infused formula — natural feel, controlled sink rate, fish hold on longer
• ✅ Extremely versatile — Carolina, Texas, shakey head, Ned, football jig, and trailer applications
• ✅ Proven tournament bait with decades of big-fish history
• ✅ 10 per pack — excellent value at $7.35
• ✅ 15 proven color patterns across all water clarities
• ⚠️ 5" profile is best for largemouth and bigger fish — downsize to the 4" or 2.5" for finesse or smallmouth applications

When to Choose It

Reach for the 5" Double Tail Hula Grub when you're fishing offshore structure, deep Carolina rigs, football jig trailers, or any situation where a bulkier, multi-action profile outperforms finesse baits. It's equally effective in shallow grass and around cover on a Texas rig. A year-round producer that shines in both clear and stained water.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Carolina Rig — the classic application; drag slowly across bottom transitions, points, and humps for maximum skirt and tail action
• Texas Rig — weedless presentation through grass, brush, and laydowns; hop and drag for crawfish imitation
• Football Jig Trailer — thread onto a football jig for a bulkier, more aggressive profile on hard bottom and rock
• Shakey Head / Ned Rig — stand-up presentation on hard bottom; subtle tail action on the shake triggers finicky fish
• Swimming / Swim Jig Trailer — trim the tails slightly and swim it as a trailer for a baitfish profile through open water and grass

Best Conditions

• Clear to stained water across all seasons
• Offshore structure: points, humps, ledges, and rock piles (15–40ft)
• Shallow grass and laydown cover on a Texas rig
• Post-spawn and summer when bass push to deeper structure
• Fall feeding patterns when bass are chasing baitfish

Tackle Express Tips

1. Match the bottom — Green Pumpkin (#297, #301) and Cinnamon (#176, #221) are your best crawfish-imitating colors on natural bottom. Switch to Watermelon or Natural Shad when bass are keying on baitfish.
2. Trim for a trailer — Cut the tails shorter when using as a football jig or swim jig trailer to reduce drag and tune the action to the retrieve speed you need.
3. Slow down on the drag — On a Carolina rig, most strikes happen on the pause after a drag. Let the bait sit for 3–5 seconds before moving — the skirt and tails settle naturally and trigger reaction bites.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the 5", 4", and 2.5" Double Tail Hula Grub?
A: The 5" is your big-fish, offshore, and power-fishing option — best for largemouth on Carolina rigs and football jigs. The 4" is a great all-around size for both largemouth and smallmouth. The 2.5" is a finesse option for pressured fish, drop shots, and light jig heads.

Q: Can I use the Double Tail Hula Grub for smallmouth bass?
A: Yes — the 5" works well on smallmouth on Carolina rigs and football jigs over rock and gravel. For finesse smallmouth applications, consider the 4" or 2.5" size for a more subtle presentation.

Q: What jig head weight works best with the 5" Hula Grub?
A: For shakey head and Ned-style presentations, 3/16 to 1/4 oz works well in shallow to mid-depth water. For football jig applications in deeper water (20–40ft), 3/4 to 1 oz football heads are standard.
