esox assault makes an awesome hollow bodied grub that is perfect for that.

Location: Yahara River Chain		I use an awl to make the hole in the grub body. Its much truer than if I try to ram the hook eye into the grub body.

Location: Eastern Ontario		I use an old style large brass snap swivel attached to the same ring as the hook and thread the trailer on to the snap

Location: Pewaukee, WI		You can also take a scrap piece of wire and make an "eye" on one end and bend the end to form a tight "u". Secure the "eye" end to the split ring and slip the grub over the "u" end. The grub will remain on the rigging and not slip off.

Location: S.Wisconsin		Esox assault !! Great people and awesome products. Like others have said you can just take the hook off and slide a tail on the shank but those grubs by esox assault are very nice and not priced to bad.

Location: Pewaukee, WI		I like to cut a small hole (5/16" dia.) in the body of the grub tail and feed the shank of the hook thru the inside of the body. Same way when rigging a "Fishtail" to the rear hook of a lure.
It will never come off!

Location: Otsego, MN		Those Esox Assault grubs also work to just make a slit and super glue them on... faster when on the boat and only takes seconds to dry...

Almost every bucktail I have has the rear hooks shrinkwrapped. Do you just use new shrinkwrap when you put the grub through the hook shaft?

Actually if you leave the grub a little long you can snake it up over the split ring and the bucktail shaft and it works just like shrinkwrap tubing.

That's what I was thinking, but wanted advice from someone who has done it before. Thanks.
