Whether you’re flipping heavy cover in the South, fishing deep points in the West, or chasing Smallmouth on flats in the North, the tube should have a permanent place in your arsenal. These adaptable baits will catch fish in virtually every situation. Even if they’re not a mainstay in your arsenal, when the going gets tough you can rely on a tube to put fish in the boat. The key to these baits is understanding when to switch between the different styles and rigging options to keep catching fish.
Below you’ll find a breakdown of the exact baits and heads we use when fishing a tube. We’ve included the exact sizes, weights, and colors we fish in each situation. We’ve also included some of our favorite tube fishing gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
