A 1" floating curly tail grub with an irresistible swim—built for bass, trout, and panfish in tight creek water.
What it is
Introducing the Tennessee Twister—a 1" soft plastic curly tail grub crafted for finesse creek fishing. Small profile, real swim, and just enough tail movement to get bit when the water’s clear and the fish are smart.
Why it works
That unique curly tail delivers an irresistible swimming action on the slowest retrieve. And because it’s poured from a durable floating plastic, it hovers and rides natural in the water—mimicking the kind of tiny prey creek fish eat every day.

Appalachian Backstory
In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, there’s a curious little legend about a tiny creature known as the Tennessee Twister.
Folks said it lived in the rich, dark soil of mountain valleys—a curly-tailed grub no longer than a thumb, with its tail coiled like a perfect question mark.
The old story went like this: if you held one in your palm and whispered your dearest wish, it would listen with its tiny spiraled ear… and that wish would find its way to coming true. Good harvest. Safe travels. A little luck when you needed it most.
Whether you believe in that kind of magic or not, the message stuck—there’s something special in these hills, and sometimes the smallest thing in your hand can change the whole day.
