| If you could have only one or the other which would it be? Mostly for trolling but will cast it some of the time. Which dives deeper? |

| I'd have to take the Grandma. Where I fish, they just seem to prefer them, and I've had a lot better luck. That being said, my friend's 54" from the same lake came on a 10" Jake. I guess its all how you work it. |

I'm asking if a Jake or a Grandma is preferred. Probably 9'' |

jake makes a 8",10"-14" grandma makes a 9"& 13" The new bent lip 9" grandma runs about 1 ft deeper than a 10" jake with same amounts of line out. The old M-9 Grandma runs about 1 ft. Shallower than the 10" Jake."" "". "" Action wise, the best was the M-9 grandma IMO. The new bent lip grandma's 9" , I don't care for the action as much as the 10" jake. Why they got rid of the M-9 makes NO sense. people loved that bait. The only fault I found with the old M-9 was the eyelets were a tad small, and when you got a big fish in the net, the eyelets would bend and crack the plastic . We've got 1 / 40 lber on a M-9, and 3 / 40 lber's on 10" Jakes. JD |

Location: Eastern Ontario | I thought I saw in the R&H catalogue straight lipped Grandmas although not called M9. The Gan Gang I hang and fish with always said Grandmas faster in warmer water Jakes when you slow down for colder water. Personally I can't see the difference but I've been switching ti Hose Daddy's.
For casting Grandma especially M9 |

| I understand now. Didn't realize that Jakes aren't made 9'' long. You guys have answered my question regardless. Thanks |

Location: Almond, WI | I prefer the Grandma but still use Jakes too. I mostly cast and twitch them, only an occasional troller. |

| I am a big fan of the 9" grandma jerk model. I am not a fan of the 8" jakes but I do really like the 10" jakes for casting and twitching over shallower water. |

Location: WI | The 9" jerk model Grandma is awesome. I've only caught 2 fish on Jakes. Dozens of fish on Grandmas! They WAY out produce Jakes in my boat. I sold all of my 10" Jakes except the one I caught a fish on. Jakes look great, but I can't buy a fish on one. |
