The tradition continues with Kalin's Salty Lunker Grubs. The proven design of the Kalin's Salty Lunker Grub delivers an incredible amount of action at an ultra-slow speed, or at a higher rate of retrieve. Whether you're fishing for quarter-pound panfish or 300-pound halibut, the super soft Kalin's Salty Lunker Grub has the durability and the action to get the job done.

First time Grub User, Long Time ListenerKalin’s single tail grubs, I can’t believe how durable they are.
When I was fishing, I was using their 4” & 5” Mardi Gras and Chart Copper Flake S&P color and they were choking it! I was using a 3/16oz ball jighead with a screw lock on a 1/0 Owner hook that I made myself from the Do-it jighead molds. Even when you almost Hover rig it and pause it from reeling it back in, the tail wags and slowly moves.

Comments: Nothing I can say that other reviews haven't. These are seriously magic. I catch bass of all sizes in my favorite pond on these every time I go fishing. Just when I think they can't possibly work any longer and it's too good to be true! Nope these just continue to work every single time and the bass keep smashing them! I'm convinced these are made with some sort of fisherman's sorcery they are that good. Just do yourself a favor and grab a few packs.

Comments: This is the only grub you will ever need. You get action on these even while crawling them as slow as you can. I use the 3"/4" on a 1/8 to 1/4 oz jighead, and the 4"/5" on 3/8 oz+ spinnerbaits. I've tried Bass Pro, Gary Yamamoto, Zoom, Chompers, and Mister Twister brands. None of them work as well as Kalin's.
From: Dave: NH, USA 4/12/23
Comments: The thing about these is that the tail works at a slower retrieve than ANY grub on the market. Other grubs require you to retrieve too fast in order to get the tail moving. Not these! You just BARELY move it and that tail starts waving, irresistable to fish. I use the 3" clear Salt & Pepper with the 1/8 oz jig, and EVERYTHING hits it, even little squirts smaller than the grub! I often fish these barbless, so I won't injure throwbacks that take it in too deep. If I had only one lure in my tackle box, it would be this bait.
From: Ron: Comfort, TX 3/13/22
Comments: Still the absolute best grub on the market. Hook up a 3" Bluegill colored grub on a 1/8oz ball head jig. Toss that any time of the year on 6lb test. If you can't swing some bass over the side of the boat, take up another hobby. They are THAT good.

Comments: I love these grubs i use them for trailers on a lot of things they work great with chatter baits plus i love kalins baits

Comments: The Lunkers works over many years as succesfull bait for pearch and zander.
From: Michael: Germany, 2/13/18
Comments: I started using these after seeing a YouTube video on the white 5 inch curly tail. I got curious and bought a pack, literally my second cast I caught a legal halibut. And I caught my first large mouth bass. I probably have at least 3-5 colors in both the 3 inch and the 5 inch. I've caught my personal best spottied bay bass on them and just about any fish. They're definitely my favorite grub tail. I'm always out fishing my friends when we go fishing, if it's fresh or salt water. They hold up very well, and they're affordable!

Comments: The 5" Chartreuse Salt & Pepper rigged on a 3/32oz Owner Shakey Ultrahead is a deadly combination when skipped under docks. The only issue is keeping bluegill, crappie and rock bass from gobbling it up before a largemouth bass can:)
From: Paul: TX 3/29/16
Comments: this is the best grub on the market. I use the 4" mostly and a few 5". The Kalin's Lunker grub is one of the most effective lures any time of the year. Just reel it slow and steady, near the bottom, and give it a few pops with the rod tip. I've caught Smallies, largemouth, pike, crappie and 1 muskie on them. The tail spins at the slowest retrieves and they are very durable.

Comments: I am old. I have been fishing Kalins grubs since 93. They work just as good now as they did then. They have a million uses. Give your spinnerbait a fresh look and put one of these on there as a trailer. It is old-school but still works.
From: Jay6: USA 12/8/14
Comments: When everyone on the lake is throwing a spinner bait, throw a 3"-5" grub instead. You'll be amazed how effective the simple grub is as a search bait. I prefer 1/4oz heads but go to 1/8oz if need be. which ever weight allows me to reel in steadily over the cover I'm working. I like the jig heads with 2/0 or larger hooks, seem to get better hook ups. The grub and jig head cast easily in the wind using spinning gear as well. Finally, the grub and jig head make an extremely cost effective lure.

Comments: great for crappie and bass my uncle and I caught 100 fish in a day. A must have for clear water or farm ponds.
From: Joe: St Louis MO
Comments: I love these. Fish love these. Although, maybe i was using the wrong hooks but i burned through these pretty fast. But BASS love these. I had everyone fishing with me using them by the end of the day.

Comments: These things are great. When i use a swim jig I use this grub in the 5" version. This is also great for spinnerbait fishing when you want a little bit more action. I have caught tons of pike and bass using this as a trailer.
From: Brandon: MN
Comments: 3 inch on a 1/8 jig head is killer on spotted bass.
From: Jim
Comments: Blue Pearl Salt & Pepper is my favorite. I fish them one way only, just under the surface on a worm hook with a split shot on the bend of the hook. It makes the lure skim right under the surface. A steady slow to medium retrieve is all it takes.
From: Doug: Franklinton, LA
Comments: The old standby grub. My favorite is to fish them (5") Texas style with a good J-hook and sliding sinker for worming.
From: Ray: Carmel, NY
Comments: They work well on large bass as well, got a couple of 5lb's and a 7+ just last year. They've always been an "old reliable" bait that can be used a million ways and priced right.
From: Jeff: Mass.
