Mister Twister Double Tail

The Mister Twister Double Tail is a specialized soft plastic that doubles the vibration and profile of a standard grub. The 2-inch version is a finesse tool for panfish, while the 4-inch version is a heavyweight staple for bass and walleye.

Proven Rigging Methods

The split-tail design creates a symmetrical swimming action that mimics the pincers of a crawfish or the dual-kick of a fleeing frog:

• Jig Trailer (4"): This is the most popular use for the larger model. Slide it onto a skirted flipping jig or a football jig. The twin tails provide a "flapping" action that helps the jig descend slowly and stay upright on the bottom.

• Finesse Grubbing (2"): Rig the small version on a 1/32 oz or 1/16 oz ball head jig. It offers a slightly larger silhouette than a single-tail grub, helping larger crappie or white bass pick it out from a school.

• Buzzbait Trailer: Both sizes work exceptionally well on the back of a buzzbait. The twin tails act like a rudder, helping the lure track straight while adding extra splash and "gurgle" to the surface.

Pro Tip: The "Twisted Pincer" Defense

When bass are feeding on crawfish, they look for a "defensive posture" where the crawfish raises its claws to ward off a predator.

The Secret: Instead of rigging the Double Tail flat (with the tails horizontal), rotate the grub 90 degrees on your jig hook so the tails are oriented vertically. When you hop the jig along the bottom and let it rest, the buoyancy of the plastic causes the two tails to float upward and apart. This perfectly mimics a crawfish in a defensive stance, triggering reaction strikes from bass that might otherwise swim past a flat-laying bait.
