Do any of you have a brand of curly tail grub you really like and is durable? I spend a lot of money on grubs and am completely disgusted with the Yamamoto brand. The plastic formulation or tail structure has been changed in the past year or so, resulting in the tails tearing off with no pressure at all.
With previous years' models of Yamamoto grubs, I could reuse the lure over and over and over, to the point that the body would look terrible and I would finally swap it out.
This year, the tail is pulled off with the lightest of strikes. At my latest trip to Powell last week, I went though a grub about every 2 strikes and many times I used a grub per cast!! That had never happened in previous year's formulations.
Whatever the reason (better action, etc.) that Yamamoto lures has for doing this (in my opinion, $$$$$$$$), I simply can't afford it.
Is there a brand you use that holds up after repeated strikes?
Thanks.
