I noticed some of the pro’s are using plastic grubs like top water buzz baits. Can you tell me how they’re doing it?

Pro anglers will cast off plastic grubs due to the ease of use and success rate in catching bass. Non-anglers can accomplish this as well. There are just a few informative facts regarding plastic grubs to understand first. To start, plastic grubs are available in three designs: 4-inch narrow-bodied twister; 5-inch fat-bodied broad tailed twister; and a 6-inch twister tail worm. Manufactures produce grubs with plastic materials that adhere to these three basic design concepts. Plastic grubs work in any body of water that is at least 1 acre in diameter and post winter depth of 8 feet. Another key is making sure that body of water contains bass fish. One of the most effective techniques to using plastic grub is the darter method. Here, use the 5-inch fat bodied broad tailed twister plastic grub. Attach it to a thin 8-pound fishing line. Use a medium-light fishing rod. Cast out your line to the desired spot and begin to reel it back in slowly. As you do so, occasionally jerk your hand to create a “darting” motion with the line. Wait for a moment and then repeat the process. Providing the line does not catch on brush or other surfaces, the darting method will attract the attention of bass. The ideal time to use this technique is in early spring. The ideal plastic grub lure colors are white or chartreuse. As summer begins to approach, switch to deeper water depths of 10 to 30 feet. Here is where lurker bass are hiding. You can use a 4-inch narrow-bodied twister on an ultra-thin 12-pound test line. Also, use a medium light spinning rod. Other methods to try out are the Shake ‘n’ Bake; Double Your Pleasure; and Topwater Spook Grubbing.
