During the winter and cold early spring, the bite can be tough. A bait that works well in the cold is a spade tail grub. The grub's tail is triangular and looks like a digging spade. Fished on a light ball head jig, the bait is fished on the bottom with light line. Let the grub fall to the bottom and gently pull in a little line. This causes the tail to rise above the head and it resembles a feeding baitfish. Gently shake the rod to make the tail move up and down. Very authentic looking and easy prey.

That right there is good info for sure. You're not the first one I've heard talk about this style grub. Some people also call them Stingray grubs. They have a do-nothing action and work great for fish with lockjaw!

StingRay is what Tom Mann Sr. named them for his company. Tom named everything himself. The "Little George" was named after Gov. George Wallace of Alabama. Some of his early lures had football names such as "half back" and "quarter back". He was a Tide fan.

Sliders have put many bass in the boat for me on tough days. And they catch big fish as well as smaller fish.
