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 (1540ft)
• 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 35 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 (2040ft), 3/4 to 1 oz football heads are standard.
