Quick take
A 20-pack of soft plastic double-tail grubs in crawfish design for bass on jigs and spinnerbaits.
This is the 5-inch Yamamoto Double Tail Grub, packed 20 to a bag in color 286, dark pumpkin with a large black flake. Its two curling tails add bulk and disturbance, so it is built to trail a jig or a spinnerbait and slow the retrieve. The soft plastic body is the supple material used across Yamamoto's baits, and it can also go on a Yamamoto skirt for a spider jig. Choose this size over the 4-inch version when you want a larger profile on the trailer.

- Jig trailers for versatile presentations

Common questions
What size is the Yamamoto 5 inch Double Tail Grub?
This grub measures 5 inches and is sold in packs of 20. Yamamoto also makes the same double-tail design in 4 inches, so choose the 5-inch version when you want the larger body on a jig or spinnerbait trailer. The 20-count pack covers several rigs at once.
What color is Yamamoto Double Tail Grub 286?
Color 286 is dark pumpkin with a large black flake, and it is the only color in this 5-inch, 20-count entry. The model number 16-20-286 identifies the same item on retail listings, so use it to confirm the color when you reorder.
Can the Yamamoto Double Tail Grub go on a spider jig?
Yes. The 5-inch grub can be added to a Yamamoto skirt to build a spider jig, which lets you combine its color with a skirt of your own choice. Its two tails and soft plastic body also make it a jig trailer on its own, so one 20-count pack serves both setups.
Is the Yamamoto Double Tail Grub a good spinnerbait trailer?
Yes, the grub is intended as a spinnerbait trailer. Its two tails add bulk and disturbance behind the blades, which slows the retrieve and adds resistance. In the 5-inch size, the 20-count pack gives you enough trailers for several spinnerbaits, and the soft plastic body is supple.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
