- How to fish a plastic tube bait for huge smallmouth bass.
In this video I talk all about a proven technique that puts big bass in the boat on a consistent basis. Fishing a plastic tube is the real deal and it is one my favorite ways to fish for bass. I have caught good largemouths and smallmouths with tubes and you can flip, punch, drop shot, drag, cast and skip tubes. They are a very versatile lure that can be used in so many different situations. They often are used to mimic crayfish and smallies can't resist them. Tubes are also great at mimicking baitfish such as perch or shad and you can catch fish all the way on the bottom to just below the surface with tubes.
I'll go through a few tips on how I like to fish a tube, along with the colors that I like and the brands I currently use. I'll will also show you what rod and reel combos I like to use for using a tube.
I hope these tips will help you out and encourage you to pick up the tube bait more often and give it a try on your next fishing trip.

Who is SmallmouthCrush?
Travis Manson was born and raised where the giant Smallmouth Bass of the north live...WISCONSIN. He started fishing from the bank as at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand. Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing. He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked every since. He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite series for a number of years, until he ran out of $$ money $$. This led to a move across the country to the Northeast where he got things right again and is back on track, but now on his own terms. Perhaps he will make another run at the Elite Series if the opportunity allows. In the meantime, he is a fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round), guided trips for smallmouth back in Wisconsin (during select times) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York (May-November) His youtube Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics and vlogs on the day in the life of a fishing addict! Hope you enjoy!

I love it!!! A million walleye anglers fishing the detroit river walleye fishin I'm throwing these tubes and jerkbaits catching 4 and 5 lb smallies all day long!! EVERYDAY. AND IM THE ONLY ONE DOIN THAT AWESOME!!!
Tubes rock for smallmouth and largemouth, been using them for 30 years and they are as effective today as ever.
Wow, such an excellent video, thank you from Canada
I moved from Northern Kentucky to East Tennessee last year and have really coming to love throwing a tube. Great video!
Dudes got more than my local Bass Pro
Enjoyed your A-Z video on using tubes and feel a lot more informed and encouraged to use more of them. Good info!!
Thank you! I have an on the water tube fishing video that is coming up shortly, so hopefully that will help you out as well!
Personally when talking about different fluoros, I’ve found the cheaper fluoros to be superior for beginners learning to tie solid knots. My buddy was having issues with seaguar abrazx being brittle, he switched to BPS excel and its working better
Thanks for the info! Going to take my kids out tomorrow, going to pick up some tubes!
Great video you put on here. I moved from So Cal to Idaho couple of years ago and now learning to catch smallmouth which is different from all being large mouth. I will try the tubes this year. Thank you.
This collection would last me several lifetimes lol
I hear yeah.....I like throwing them and fish them a lot!
Dude! I was looking for a bass tube video and landed here. Damn son! What a great video! I fish the CA Delta and went on a smallmouth hunt last week just to see if I could find them. Not only did I find them, I crushed them on top water. Looking for another weapon once the sun gets high and I think the tube may be it.
Awesome glad you liked it!
Like your videos. Most average fisherman don't carry 4 boxes of tubes. Never mind the other soft and hard baits.
Thanks for the support Ken!
eskimo tackle brother! Good to know there is someone out there who spends more tihan me on their tackle obsession
Nice job! Great info! Hungry for more!
More to come, I guarantee you that!
Thanks for sharing - good stuff - fish a lot of tubes already to great effect in NH, ME and MA. You my friend, need more tubes....
After watching this vid I can't wait to get out there an throw some tubes!
Great information. I've been trying to catch a smallmouth since the middle of last year. Hopefully with the information you provided I can catch one this Saturday.
_A_ smallmouth? You haven't caught a single one? Are you fishing the same lake/stream/river by chance? Maybe they're just not where you're at.
Since this was a year ago, wondering if it worked out for you
Well, have you ever caught a smallmouth yet?
love your tube supply 👍👍☺
Great video man. Not sure why your videos don't have more likes. Must be all the largemouth guys lol
We will get there! Thank you!!
Very great tips! New subscriber and I'll definitly be watching more!
Love fishing a tube for those bronze backs!
One of my favorite ways.....Just waiting to get some good on the water action videos!
My favorite way to catch bass!! Seems like every video of mine has a tube victim.
luv it, i like the tubes just need to commit more to them. We have small moving water around here in central and not the big jumbo smallmouth you all have up north so downsizing is necessary here.
Bitsy Tubes!
Just ordered a bunch.. great video man👍
Awesome!
I thought I had a problem till I saw the amount of tubes you have.
More knowledge about tubes here than I know about fishing itself lol
wow awesome tube collection i just subbed i love tube fishing for smallmouth and largemouth 😊
Thank you glad you like it!
i believe i used half that "GO TO TUBES" when i was with you :D Loving your videos man.
Subscribed!!! Awesome video with info! I'd like to learn more on tubes for small mouth bass.
Awesome thanks glad you liked it!
Lol
"And it's really good at a power plant that's all I'm gonna say" 😂🤣
Exactly where I use them. He’s not wrong lol
Good stuff. It is an art form. Btw. Good information.
Hay man milt here where do you get your tub boxes I would like to get a couple Milton
nice ! , I'm gonna try tube on a drop shot rig , never catch bass on tube yet
Nice video, Travis. What about Highland Reservoirs, such as Watauga Lake in East TN. What tubes would you throw there? This lake is a clear, deep lake with clay banks and points with large rocks.
Line through pegged weight on the inside and treble hook on the back in the strains
great video. cabin creek tubes
Ive had good luck with the strike kings but ill he ordering some get bit. Couple if those colors will be killer on gt bay this spring.
I think you will like them Adam!
Every time my wife gets on my ass about having too much tackle I have her watch this video.
I see the large & Deep Mother Supply utility boxes and the big plastic dumpster box full of extras BUT, I need to know if you don't tow a trailer full
Is it bad to store pre rigged tubes with the in the head jig head. I'm not sure if the hooks rust, but I do know the lead jig heads get a white coating on them
Great informative video.👍🏽
thank you! Glad you liked it!
if you ever get around the Bloomsburg Pennsylvania area Holla at me been fishing the susky 22 years
Awesome thanks!
@@SmallmouthCrush no problem dude don't forget hooked up bait company lol really an impressive tube
Love the video and I just subscribed. I fish the upper Chesapeake for largies in the summer and the Susquehanna below the Conowingo dam the rest of the year for smallies and stripers. All from my kayak. What color would you recommend for that part of the Susquehanna?
Big flex homie. 20k in tubes
Good stuff!
Great tube video! What is the most common tube jig size, weight, and hook do you use?
1/4 or a 3/8 is the most common for me. The hook is a barbarian or a mustad in size 2 for the most part!
cool Travis. And if you had to choose one tube size what would it be? 2.75, 3.5 or 4.0? Tks
2.75 hands down!
I just went to Xtreme Bass Tackle to order some tubes. But I also saw something called tube trailer. How are they used? with a tube or with a skirt on a spinner? I could not find a video of any kind.
Good video Travis! Do you ever Texas rig tubes? Or use skip gap hooks? When you are throwing heavier than 1/2oz how does your set up change?
Yes I do, but mostly for Largemouth Bass when I am flipping. I have used Skip Gap hooks but not too much anymore. If I am throwing a heavier then 1/2 ounce with a tube insert for smallmouth I keep it the same on the medium size spinning rod. I dont use 1/2 ounce or larger a whole lot and only in specific situations mostly the larger rivers with deep water like St Clair River, Detroit, or St Lawrence and that is only during specific patterns. IF I fished a heavy tube more consistent then I would probably want to get a med/heavy spinning rod which would make handling those larger weights a bit easier, but I can get by with what I have for now.
SmallmouthCrush Thank you for the info! I'll see you at oneida. These videos are really well done and extremely informative. Keep it up man!
What hook size on insert for 2.25 in. Tube? 1/0, 2/0 ?
He literally doesn't stop with the tubes holy cow
he just KEEPS GOING AND GOING hahahahah
What is he at, 500?
Just bought a 36 pack from Amazon 👍
what size hooks are the tube jigs? barbarian 3/0 regular wire? round bend 2/0 light wire hook? Just got turned onto your channel...nice work...
yes you are correct on those sizes....some of the barbarian are 2/0 as well. Thanks for the compliment!
Great video but I didn’t hear or see any tube heads with wire guards on them... almost everyone I know fishes Susquehanna and local rocky rivers use them. What’s your thoughts on them?
I really dont use wire guards....just never needed them where I fish. I do get hung but often times I can pop it loose pretty good without breaking. I have used them around wood though and a weed guard works great for having an exposed hook around wood.
do you use a medium hvy rod or medium with your regular tube set up ???
Medium
Hey Travis great video man.....I'm a beginner smallmouth angler...you seem to have thousands of tubes how about mailing some to me to use on my waters that would be greatly appreciated 😁💯👌🤔
What's a 'toob'? and what's a small mouth bass?
i use a 20lb flouro leaded for everything
Do you scents with your tubes?
Is that salt you've sprinkled on your tubes?
Yes there is Salt on those tubes.
check out hooked - up bait company awesome tubes with a attractant smallies love
😂😂😂 and I thought I have too many tubes 😂😂😂
what part of Wisconsin do you fish the most?
I like to fish Lake Winnebago and Lake Michigan the most
The tube man lol
What kind of tackle box do you use?
Brandt Broderick I’m this video they are planos but in his newer videos they are bass mafia
Lmao. How do the salty tubes taste? . Beats garlic I bet..
Powerplant robert moses massena ny lol??
"expecially"
looks like you got a lifetime supply already. lol!
a lot of salt on those tubes :D
Bass bite on anything lol
Biggest mistake fishing tubes, assuming your imitating craw dads! 🍻
You call that simple?
Im disappointed in you man! You dont have any food chain tubes???
you must be incredibly wealthy
SUBD
csi LOLLL
Way too much thought put into color here. Just stick with green pumpkin, that's all you need.
So you have boxes and boxes of toobz......Are you a plumber?.....I sincerely hope that you don't eat those thing's, they look disgusting.
Jokes on you, I don’t fish for smallies lol
