Here's the setup. Start with a bullet weight, not too big, it's just to make the grub stay under water as you crank it in, and makes it easier to cast. I usually use a 1/8 or 1/4 ounce, but it doesn't make much difference.

 

 

It just slips on your line before you tie the hook on, skinny end forward, slides through the weeds nicely.

 

 

Use a hook shaped like this, I like 3/0 or 4/0 size (even tiny bass will inhale it with ease).

Here's a picture of the hook just laying on top of the grub. This is the basic position you want the hook to be in when the grub is on the hook. The notch near the eye of the hook will be buried in the nose of the grub, and the bend of the hook will go straight through the grub near it's tail.

 

Stick the hook in through the nose of the grub and down and out the bottom, you just want a chunk of plastic to sit in that little notch in the hook.

 

Now slide the grub up the hook onto the notch, and spin the hook around into position.

 

 

Now eyeball where the hook should pass through the center of the grub, so that the grub is nice and straight when it's on the hook, and stick the hook all the way through.

 

When it's tied on it'll look something like this.

 

The only down side to this type of bait, is that you only get one or maybe two bass per grub before it's ripped up. You can easily go through 4 or 5 packs of grubs if the bass are hungry. If the grub is sliding down the hook, it's shot, get a new one.
