I know it's a very small detail but do you guys have a personal preference of grub style tails and ribbon style tails on your gliders? Like I said it's a small detail but I was reading about some people preferring the ribbon style. Does it have a slower less erratic wiggle when the lure is in a free fall/pause? I guess I could see how the ribbon would be a big slow wiggle while the grub tail would be almost like a little propeller on the back of a 5oz lure. I've only used the grub tails.

Grub style for me but truthfully I haven't tried a Ribbon style yet... My biggest preference is tail down is all.

i always find out from the maker which tail they are using, and use them. if it was designed to run with it i want to duplicate it not re-invent the wheel.

6" mogambo. Take off some of the head accordingly

B Nelson, why do you prefer tail up? I used to do that on a jig grub walleye set up but I believe tail down has better action and kinda makes the head dart down .00132% more. Haha

Grub style and tail up for me as well. Seems the back hook doesn't catch the tail as often when it's up.

Tail up for me as well. It seems like you get a nice flutter on the tail as the glider sinks.
