Years ago when I tournament fished for bass we used big grubs.They worked great on bass and smallmouth really liked them.You can fish them just about anyway you can think of.I use smaller sizes now for whites and walleye but the 5incher is great for bass around brush,timber and dropoffs.Keep a variety of colors from dark to bright to try.For bass I liked dark brown,red and blue.White is a good all round color.
