Hi Guys, I got might self some 2.5'' Z Man Grubs to try and I was wondering what size Jig Head & Leader you would recommend with these plastics?

size 2's are a pretty good option. I fish these plastics a bit heavier than others since the are buoyant and will float with little weight. at the moment I'm using 1/20th TT tournament and HWS heads and they go quite well, but still find room for the 1/16th, 1/12 and 1/6th in heavier currents.

3lb & 4lb, I have been fishing 1/20th's lately but some people go down to 1/12th's all depends on the current, if you don't want the grubz you know who to pm

The Grubz are great plastics.

I fish them from 1/20th to 1/8th depending on tidal flow.

I generally don't go under 1/20th as they are very buoyant.

what are they worth? I bought a butt load of the Damiki grubs on special at TW ($4 a pack) and they look VERY similar. Thoughts?

They're only $7.95 from memory.

I glue them on, you can just keep using the plastic for ages that's how stretchy they are. Take them off, chuck them back in your box to use them another day. While they're strong as they are super soft and the tail on them flutters with the slowest twitches, I love them. Awesome when tailor and leatherjackets are chewing through plastics.
