wallyc14 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I was curious those who have the mold or are in the know what grub is this supposed to be like? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canga~ Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 not sure what this grub is supposed to be, but it is HUGE, i bought one hoping it would be on the small side of 4" grubs but it made a 4" kalins look small by comparison, and IMO a 4" kalins is a large grub. i returned it the day after i got it!

School Master Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Not sure what its suppose to be like.... what I do know is that IS the most sneaky lethal mega smallmouth bait I throw. Shoots an amazing grub, super thin tail. Thread it on a jighead and reel it slow, straight up lethal. I use it as a spinnerbait trailer as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I read the description and it said a bait no longer made . I was just wondering what. The pic on the site is ok just. Othing for scale. Schoolmaster can you throw up a pic with a tape measure I would greatly appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Linnell Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 It measures 3" in the mold, same as a Yammy 5," Kalin makes a 3" and a 5", Kalin 5 measures 3 1/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Linnell Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 These are from my plaster injection molds I made from original baits, 5' Kalin and 4' Yamamoto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
School Master Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Here is the 4" Angling A.I. Cali Grub. 3" in the mold, 4" while swimming, sitting pretty on a 1/8oz jig head 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 That looks just about identical to a yama 4 incher. Perfect! Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Mendez Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 The Cali grub came to birth in a unique way. The tail design & action on THAT grub is very important to clear, rocky deep reservoir lakes. The Yama single grub has changed a bit ( new stuFF). That tail on grub body comes from the old PRO STAFF single tail grub STOCK about 26 years ago, when it was made in Page AZ. THE change is really noticeable with you lay the bait to a New Yama grub off the shelf. The difference is in the TAIL Action is very important in impoundment lakes that are clear. The MOLD SHOOTS GREAT, THE ACTION IS GREAT. But most important thing, is Josh, of ANGLING A I was willing to make and design the bait to old specs. Lucky to Have Josh making molds and DREAM MOLDS for Do it yourself makers! This Grub on a darter head, ball head, with a Rubber (living rubber) is devastating to spotted bass in the winter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I just wanted to thank everyone for the input! That is the 4 gyb grub I remember! Kudos to A I for making it! I’ll be buying a few more . It’s been a long strange journey since I started making my own baits for personal consumption. This one was the great white whale for me! It was the one of two bait designs I really wanted because it flat out catches fish.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I fish them on an 1/8 slider spider heads with the heavier gauge hook . Deadly for spawn largemouth and all through the summer. I had success on the upper James river for smallies too. Again thank you so much for everybody’s input 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallyc14 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Lol I’ve got 7 grub molds looking for something like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I'm cheap. I bought two of the Do-It Essential 3" grub molds, and they work fine. I use them as spinnerbait trailers, but I'm sure they'd work on a ball head jig, too. They extend to 3 1/2" when they swim. I pour them with a medium plastic, because I want them to be a little more durable, since I throw my spinnerbaits up into the tules. But I'm sure they'd really wave and be even more lively if I poured them with a softer plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
