S oft plastic grubs are outstanding, yet often overlooked trout offering for trollers. This year I’ve caught rainbows to 4 pounds pulling my signature series grubs and they will tempt strikes for you too! When trolling grubs, you’ll get the most action when trolling from 1 to 1.5 miles per hour, but in some situations, you can go faster. Rigging grubs is super simple. Take a piece of 8-pound test fluorocarbon leader material and tip it with a No. 6 or 8 bait holder or mosquito hook. Insert the tip of the hook into the tip of the grub and then slide the grub over the bend of the hook and pop the hook point out near where the grub’s tail attaches to the body. When you are finished, the grub should be straight on the hook shank. If you’re interested in some grubs consider picking up one of my Finesse Grub Kits from my online store. This kit delivers 25 of my grubs in 5 different colors and 2 different sizes. In the 3-inch size, you’ll get 5 each in Cotton by Cal Kellogg Candy, Fire Cracker and Cherry Bomb. In the stealth 2-inch size you’ll get 5 each in Larva and Glass Minnow, but there’s more! Along with the grubs & bugs you’ll receive a pair of my Mini Sidewinder Dodgers in halo silver and 50/50 chrome and gold and a Gibb’s Diamond Dazzler snelled spinner.

For an old guy, I’m pretty extreme and I demand a lot CHRISTMAS PRICE! from my gear. It needs to be functional and keeping working with hard use. Over the years, I’ve used a bunch of different products from the folks at EGO Fishing/Adventure products and I can honestly say their gear has never let me down. I currently own EGO pliers, a fish gripper, a couple nets and I just ordered a super cool EGO Kryptek Tactical Fishing Pack. If you’ve seen my kayaking videos Call Your Rocklin and photos you’ve seen Trucksmart for a Great Deal on my EGO S2 Slider net in a Rhino Truck Bed Lining! action. In my view the net is flawless. In the kayak, I (916)773-7333 run the “Compact” version of the net. It telescopes from 18 to 36 inches with the touch of a button and a tug. This gives me the ACCESSORIES reach I need. The rubber mesh of the net is snag and AUBURN tangle resistant, which is a (530) big plus because I’m tangle and snag prone…LOL! 888-7825 11844 ATWOOD ROAD The EGO S2 Slider is offered in a variety of sizes to match your fishing style. For the full story and to learn about all the functionality these fine nets offer check out the EGO website! I first saw the backpack at the big ICAST fishing show in Florida last summer. The pack is ideal for kayakers, bank hikers, stream fisherman and any angler that is on the go. It’s big enough to offer real utility but compact enough to remain practical. I literally stopped writing this piece and ordered the pack. I can’t wait until it arrives! Here’s a little more about the pack that I took from the EGO website: The EGO Kryptek Tactical Tackle Box Backpack will give you an aggressive look on and off the water. The product features multiple storage pockets, laser cut molle loops for external tool management, Kryptek camo technology, and four clear tackle trays. Constructed with extra durable1000 denier nylon fabric and PVC coated backing for a measure of water resis- tance, these bags will endure the toughest conditions on and off the water.
