I use the grubs here for channel cat and stripers. I personally like the cataba worm for catfish, they seem to like it better than the grub worms. There have been a few times (Pappy can vouch this works) I have used cottonseed meal made in to doughbait. That and fermented maize.. It was a trick I learned from some old timers when I was around 6 or 7. Hmmmmm catfish steaks sound really good right now.James

Jason, I would have to say the fat one's ate all your treasure, so I would look for the smaller one's maybe they haven't gotten to that treasure yet! lol!!!!!

Default grub worms the treasure hunters friend.

If them fat grubs ate my treasure then I'd just give them a squeeze to get it back. So if I find a few dozen in one hole does that mean they ate a whole cache?

Default Catfish James...

JAMES, Did you know you can turn them cataba worms inside out and they are silver inside...Makes a GREAT Catfish bait...If you freeze them alive in a ziplock bag and take them out when you need them and put them in warm water (Just set the bag in warm water) they will come back to life....PAPPY

Default Grub Worms

ROB, Don't know how to explain it..They are just there. Something I noticed over the years. I've been diggin in the garden before and turned up coins with a little white grub in the hole...Not with the detector...

Those little grubs must be awful hungry if they're gonna try to tackle a whole bolt.

My specialty, Grubs are beetle lavvy. they eat grass roots mainly. this is why you have dead spot in nice lawn sometimes. maybe it is the extra minerals in the soil at that very spot that makes the roots a bit more tasty??

Pappy Now that you mention it I know it is true. when I was digging my 1/2 dollar I made my son get the grub worm out of the hole before I reached for the coin. Cool fact.............
