Bearcat,
Can't post a pic but its pretty simple. Hook up... Curly tail grub tail down. Go about two ribs back on the grub and insert the hook up. Its that simple.
I smeared Shrimp Smelly Jelly on the grubs and hung on for dear life! LOL. I too like others here was concerned that rigged that way, the grubs would be pulled off. Like Fongter said... didn't happen.
When I do micro grubs for Perch, I usually start the retrieve right after the sink but in this case I casted ...let it sink... and then let it flurry free spool for about 20 seconds with a little bit of twitch on the tip of the rod.
On about 5 occations grubo was picked up and Bardie was hall@asse with drag singing a sweet tune! Got busted off twice using 2# p-line . Looking in my fly vest realized I had forgotten to bring my other spool loaded wit 4#. x(
At any rate, good day and encouraging results. One of the highlights was when I was standing in about 18" of water getting ready to cast when right next to me about two feet away and heading seaward was a Shovelnose Shark about 4 feet long cruized by to say hello.
Ah the surf! I'm falling in love with it to the point where I can't angle anywhere else!
Tight Lines!!
