- Don't forget about this awesome lure! The Tube is being forgotten, but you need to bring it back to the top of the list as we head into Summer! We have some key tricks that we use with tubes to take them from being a good bait, to a bait that catches everything in sight! If you're not already doing this, you're missing out!
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! Tim 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 than nearly every other finesse presentation, especially in clear water situations. From head sizes and shapes, to tube lengths and colors, this is everything you need to know!
Below you'll find links to all the baits, heads, and gear Tim 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.

The YUM Crawbug has, for two decades, been my favorite realistic crawfish tube. In fact, it is my #1 overall favorite crayfish plastic, bar none!
Great video thanks for the tips and I just learned something new I have to try that technique out
I’m a fanatic fir fishing a texas rig tube. Different sinker weights make a huge difference in them too.
Great video, never really been a tube fan. Popular bait when I was growing up. Your video and info has made me tie a tube on and give it a try. Tight Lines 🎣
Have a mixed bag of tubes in my tackle bag that I totally forgot about. Definitely going get one tied on this weekend.
Awesome video Tim! I love the fact you mentioned the Gitzit as I recall when that first came out and I am dating myself now. HAHA Turning 51 this July and have built up a little smaller bag of soft plastic tubes, not as large as yours, but getting close from X Zone 2.75 and 3.75 tubes to Berkley Power Tubes, and Phoenix Tubes I have still sealed in zip lock bags from 30 plus years ago?! HAHA I am so looking forward to use them once bass season opens in my area of Ontario Canada which unfortunately is the third Saturday of June for our natural chain lakes and the 4th Saturday of June for our biggest land locked lake in Lake Simcoe! Smallmouth heaven here we come with some tubes baby! Thanks for a great video as always!
Thanks for the refresher course, I used to crush them on tubes and have gotten away from fishing them. I'll be picking them back up next time I get out on the water.
Has become one of my "must have" tied on baits when heading out for smallies. Its my #1 choice over a ned rig, as you can still "fish" a tube versus the dead sticking nature of a ned rig. The juvy craw is a KILLER....
Hey Tim, I have a tube tied on year round. I use the standard jig head in 1/8oz. This gives it a more natural fall and the bass eat it up. Caught a 6 1/2 lber last month.
Thanks!
Up here , it is the 1 bait that I’m always trying to figure out how to outfish but 9 times out of 10 it seems like there’s just no beating it still use it everyday !!!! Awesome episode as always tim thanks man !
Ive caught bass before on a white tube on a drop shot
Still no mention of the “stupid tube”?
Was just about to say this. Have one tied on year round. Have busted some big bags on a stupid tube.
Stupid tube is best way to catch a big one. They never see them down south.
Stupid tube?
Matt has said he wasn't a fan of weedless presentation for tube iirc.
Keep it that way lol don’t let the world find out
Tied on the GLF Juvy Craw yesterday…caught a bass on the first cast. Cool.
Hey Tim and Matt. You guys are the best. I love your videos. I have a question for you guys. I was wondering how you guys store all your soft plastics in your boats. I've tried different ways to store them. Right now I have them in large bass mafia bags. Any advice on how to store soft plastics would be greatly appreciated. Keep the awesome videos coming and be safe on the water.
Tim and Matt. I don’t know if you’ve ever fished the vast amount of lakes in Maine but if you haven’t, you guys should definitely make a trip. Moosehead Lake and plenty others have great bass fishing.
I'm a tuber and have been for many years. Try a purple or dark morning dawn color tube with copper or silver flake. Hard to find sometimes but local baitmakers can make them if need be. I fish mostly northern New England just for reference ... NH, ME primarily. Works on both smallies and largemouth.
Purple with a copper and or red flake is my favorite for PA smallies, I'm going to try some bone colored tubes this year as well. I usually don't fish ned rigs because I usually lean toward a tokyo rig.
@@richardluzaderjr4415 Yup, PA smallie guy here as well. Pittsburgh area. Worked at Megabass in the rocks.
Tubes work great up here in Massachusetts 👍🏻
Great stuff Tim! My favorite bait is the tube. Got all the ones you listed! Caught a lot of largemouth, more smallmouth than I usually catch, still learning, how about that tube that floats? Lol I appreciate your teaching your techniques! Keep the faith brother! 🥸👍🙏
Gonna try this at my favorite southern Mississippi interstate pond
My favorite Carolina rig bait
Would love to see another video about fishing a tube
Those juvy craws are legit!
The tube is my 2nd favorite lure next to a swim jig. Like Tim….i have and big tackle bag full of tubes. It is a forgotten bait and thankfully at the lake I fish, none of the other fishermen use them. 😄
Love a tube here in Michigan
Yes I love it when I here about my home town lake Oroville
Before the tube was the go to bottom finesse most were throwing small worms on Charlie Brewer slider heads, “mojo rigs” or split shot rigs. Baits come and go popularity wise.
Those Charlie Brewer sliders are still hard to beat. They are killer.
Been on the greenpumkin /orange for about six years ,its the deal for me.
The Trokar TK190 tube hook is the best tube flipping hook ever made in my opinion and you can use it for beaver style and gravity style baits it works perfect and the hookups are crazy good!
I’ve frogged a tube, just a bit of foam in the head, weightless Texas rigged, frogged across grass mats. Had a few blow up on it 🤘🏽♥️ have tried walking it in open water, but not much success walking it. 😅
2.75.inch green pumpkin coffee tube has been good this spring for smallmouth and largemouth for river fish 🐟 in Indiana
Been texas rigging a Gitzit tube for over 30 years on Mead.
Need your input on tubes in the grass. That exposed hook just becomes a 2 lb weedball in our local lakes up north.
No Texas rig options?
Do you use a loop knot or a traditional knot when tying on a tube?
Love me a tube, you want to talk about glide! Try the core tackle Tush hook in a tube. Great head.
That finesse tush slays
What is your favorite pro cure flavor
How do you choose tube or jig and craw?
"Bite Me" heads down here have a 4/0 ewg hook for tube fishing, I just seem to find them getting hung up a bunch, thanks & let's go
These videos are ("reel") helpful 😝. Good stuff guys.
How bout the tube with the hoover jig?
Tim, I used to have great success with tubes in heavy cover with a 1/4 oz slip sinker and 3/0 EWG hook. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm missing so many bites now I'm ready to give it up. Using St. Croix 7' med heavy Bass X rod and 20 lb Shooter floro. Do you have any tips to make tubing fun again? Thanks.
I use the screwlock type hook for tubes .Helps prevent tube from balling up during hookset
Can you use the tubes for bank fishing?
Absolutely. They are great in clear water situations
Chris lane won a classic tube fishing, gotta love the tube! Thanks tim.
David Fritz was a big tube fan. I realize he was known for his cranking prowess but early in his career he spent a lot of his time fishing a tube
Canadian staple
Is Matt still guiding?
I don't think so.
As a Canadian, the Tube never went anywhere lol
I'll take a tube over a ned anyday! Neds work but I fish the Wis.River and those bass want crayfish!
Cue Bomb video when???
anybody here in the comment section familiar with nickajack lake ? its below chickamauga. im from GA and been chasing my first small mouth bite and for my week of vacation im currently in Tennessee and so far caught a few 4-5 lbs largies. still no smallmouth though…
I have developed the best Tube hook ever.
Wow
No Texas rig with bobber stopper or super glue the bullet weight for lumber fishing, and then also the yum craw tube a 8th oz ball head with a #1 hook size so u can keep it weedless and that thing glides just like a real craw
U can't be 1 dementional with tubed
I've been fishin them when it was the Bobby garlin git zit
Growing up I used these all the time, unfortunately I didn't understand why. I grew up fishing in the great lake State where I still live today. I love 20 minutes from the lake Michigan shoreline and I think I will, with better understanding be trying some boob baits.
Dang autocorrect, tube bait's. I no longer need boob bait I'm 15 of my happiest years in with the same boobs I baited back then.
That's too much isn't it.
No stupid tube?
All I can say is, why black and blue???
Why not?
It gets bit, especially by the bigs
What about the stupid tube though? 🤔🤔
Cost half the price of Ned rigs.
First🎉
Bite has died down past couple days, gonna toss a tube around to stand out from the crowd.
No Texas rig options?
