Barracuda Baits
5" Curly Tail Grub
Proudly Handmade in the USA
Owned and operated by a Disabled American Veteran, Barracuda Baits are handcrafted in San Antonio, Texas, with a focus on action, durability, and consistent performance.
Versatile Swimming Action: The 5" Curly Tail Grub
The Barracuda Baits 5" Curly Tail Grub is a high-action soft plastic grub built for bass fishing in shallow cover, open water, and deeper structure.
Its long curly tail begins working with minimal movement, creating steady vibration and swimming action throughout the retrieve. Fish it on a jig head, rig it weedless, or use it as a trailer when you want to add extra movement and profile to your presentation.
Why Fish the 5" Curly Tail Grub?
-
High-Action Curly Tail: Produces continuous swimming movement and vibration at slow or faster retrieve speeds.
-
Versatile Soft Plastic Profile: Effective around vegetation, docks, timber, points, ledges, and open water.
-
Excellent Jig Head Bait: Swim it through the water column or work it along the bottom.
-
Effective Trailer: Adds movement and bulk to jigs, spinnerbaits, and other moving presentations.
-
Bass Fishing Versatility: Works for both power-fishing and slower presentations depending on rigging and retrieve speed.
Recommended Rigging & Techniques
-
Jig Head: Rig the Curly Tail Grub on a jig head and swim it through open water, along weed edges, or around deeper structure.
-
Texas Rig: Rig it weedless for fishing grass, brush, timber, docks, and other snag-prone cover.

Jig Trailer: Add it to a jig when you want extra tail movement and a larger profile.
