Still Works! The Legendary Single Tail Grub (Since the 80’s)

The Gary Yamamoto Single Tail Grub is one of the true classics of modern bass fishing.

Today, we’re taking a look at this legendary soft bait from the 1980s — a lure that helped shape finesse fishing as we know it. The Single Tail Grub was incredibly popular in Japan during the late ’80s and early ’90s, and many anglers learned finesse fishing with a simple jighead and spinning setup.

In this video, I fish the classic grub on a light jighead rig and show how this old-school bait still catches bass in 2025. I’m using a Ryugi Mono Guard Vespa jig head (size #2 / 1/32 oz), my go-to finesse jig head for tough conditions.

If you enjoy classic American lures, simple techniques, and real-world fishing tests, this video is for you.
