The Tube Fishing Trick Nobody Knows! This Really Is The Deal!!

Tubes are the forgotten lure! The Tube shouldn't just be back in your arsenal, it should be front and center as we head toward Summer! We have some key tricks that we use with tubes to take them from being a great bait, to an almost magical fish producer. You don't want to miss this!
So many anglers used to catch fish with a tube, or tube jig, but have stopped throwing it. Most never realized the bait's true potential before slowly forgetting about it. Today we're going to fix that! Matt starts with the basics of how to catch bass with tubes but it isn't long before he gives up the key that makes a tube a better bait then nearly every other finesse presentation!
Below you'll find links to all the baits, heads, and gear Matt discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors where applicable as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Bro, I get you won't read this but maybe someone else will. I am 57. Live in Michigan. Been fishing "snot" tube baits since I was 23. So, 34 years. I regularly catch bass that I have described in many a bar over many a year, that you can make a fist, shove it into the bass face and not touch a bass. Huge bass hit the "snot". Love ya'll bro long time subscriber.

As a crappie fisherman tubes and jigs are all we use, and I'll be honest I'm super glad he hasn't figured how to really use them yet. A soft jig can catch absolutely anything.

@leerigby5976 8 ай бұрын

I am no stranger to fishing as I have a 16.5 Lb Walleye on the wall, a 7lb. large mouth, caught numerous crappies up to 3 lbs and some great small mouth. However I did most of this as a younger boy and man growing up on a resort in Northwest Wisconsin. We fished lakes under 1,000 acres and believe me they were no Walleye fish factories like I see on the videos. Oh, also took a few years out to become addicted to Muskie Fishing and managed to get at least one Musky per outing. This was in the days when We did not use bait casters and 8lb test line was standard along with 11g floating Rapalas. I guess you figured out I am pretty much out of date. I got away from fishing when I bought a hobby farm and started managing Whitetails. Now I have no more room for Mounts and with all the new electronics am starting all over and it is like being on another planet. Your style of teaching an advice has been my real go to. It is not all BIG FISH FACTORIES and super Sonar. You have really been invaluable. Believe me it is never to late to teach an "Old Dog" new tricks. I started at 12 and now turned 75. Thanks .

Something to think about, Zman has a tube in their Ned lineup, I would imagine that cracking on of those tubes around finicky fish would absolutely get bit. My first Ned fishing was done with their ( Zman) tube and although I wasn’t cracking it I was getting bites when even my super finesse jigs and Neko rugged worms wouldn’t get bit.

Good video. Tubes are crazy versatile. I'm still fishing them like Guido and like Shaw G. I also love fishing them on a mushroom head cause you can feel the bottom better than a hidden head. It's good on a football head too. Smoke is my favorite color, I don't care what color the flake is. I'm an old guy and I fish in the tradition of Billy Westmoreland, Charlie Brewer, and other Tennessee fishermen and guys around Kentucky and in the Ozarks. Cracking a tube is gonna be something I try. Great video.

I really like Tokyo rigs for tubes, adjusting arm lengths changes up not only the action, but also allows for shaking on the bottom at different heights depending on the arm lengths. Rock bass, crappie, and panfish also have an affinity for smaller tubes.

@marty5105 Жыл бұрын

Picked up three bass on beds last weekend doing this exact thing during a tournament. My friend's boat so all three fish he got five minutes of first chance and could not get them to bite with a jig, texas creature, and drop shot Moxie tail (in that order). All three times I came behind him (after saying "tune in Tokyo") with a creature bait on tokyo (green pumpkin with either purple or red flakes for bluegill) and within three casts for all three they bit and were caught. I honestly believe it is because my bait was suspended 2" off bottom and could jiggle on a 1/2 ounce sinker without moving. My buddy could not do that with the jig or texas rig and his drop shot was too high and too small to be a threat. Will be throwing more often for bass on beds. Cannot wait to try the berkeley gilly or the bellows gill on the tokyo

The "death spiral" is effective because it imitates a crawdad scooting down to the bottom. Crawdads rarely just fall slowly to the bottom from aquatic foliage. As they "crawfish" to the bottom, flapping their tail, they don't go in a straight line, they spiral to the bottom. Hence the effectiveness on the drop or within seconds of hitting the bottom just on the edge of a weed bed. I know this because I've been (as well as an avid fisherman) a snorkeler my entire life and I love feeding bass crawdads!

Absolute MUST for river smallies. Work great in current or transition zones between faster/shallower water and deeper water in rivers. Add a small corkie behind the jig head for a little extra buoyancy and slower sink. Let it hit that faster water above a deeper hole and get pulled into the deeper hole naturally by the force of the current. Can't tell you how many fish I've nailed right at the cusp of that deeper hole. They're just sitting there waiting for the current to bring them baitfish or crawdads.

Great video! I love using tubes, especially for smallmouth. I had the chance to fish Champlain a couple of years ago and I was using tubes rigged on a swinging football head jig and crushing those smallmouth. Question for you guys... do you use tubes in rivers? I feel like they could be deadly, especially those smaller ones but I'm not sure if I want to be using an open-style hook with them in a river. I feel like I will get snagged a lot. I know I could Texas-rig them but I'm not sure they will have the same, intended action as a regular tube hook.

A tube is the GOAT. So many ways to rig and fish it. Catches every species that swims in every season. I’ve caught hundreds of muskies on em. Matt, you better get some.

I still flip tubes I prefer them over pretty much every plastic in that situation. That said if the fish are a little more aggressive I use a Guido bug as well.
