Strike King Rage Tail Menace
The Strike King Rage Tail Menace is a highly versatile twin-tail grub that delivers an aggressive swimming action. It features the patented Rage Tail flange on each of its two flat tails, creating a high-frequency vibration and heavy water displacement. Whether fished horizontally as a swim jig trailer or vertically on a flip rig, the Menace’s compact profile and intense kicking motion make it a top choice for triggering reaction strikes.
Best Ways to Rig the Menace
-
The Jig Trailer: This is perhaps the most popular use for the Menace. Its symmetrical tails provide a balanced, rhythmic kick that pairs perfectly with swim jigs, bladed jigs, or standard flippin' jigs.
-
The Texas Rig: Use a 3/0 or 4/0 offset hook for a streamlined presentation. This allows the bait to slip through thick grass and wood while the tails "flap" the moment the bait starts to fall.
-
The Tokyo Rig: Slide the Menace onto a Tokyo rig to keep it hovering just above the bottom. The twin tails will flutter aggressively as you move the weight through rocks or gravel, creating a high-profile target that is easy for bass to track.
Fishing Tips for Success
-
The Swim-and-Drop: Retrieve the Menace steadily to get the tails thumping, then abruptly kill the action. The sudden transition from high vibration to a slow, flapping fall is a primary trigger for trailing bass.
-
Versatile Profile: If you need a more compact presentation, the Menace can be fished with the tails joined (as they come in the package) for a subtle "flap," or pulled apart for the maximum twin-tail "kick."
-
Burn It Through Cover: Because of the heavy vibration created by the Rage Tail flanges, you can "burn" this bait just under the surface or through sparse vegetation to call fish in from a distance, even in murky water.
