The BEST Summer Lure Everyone FORGOT!
Don't forget these when its hot! We've all fished a tube but somehow, most anglers have forgotten. Tubes doesn't stop working when Summer rolls around but you rarely see anyone using them! If you want to show the fish something different this year, we're going to show you which tubes to use, the best way to rig them, and which retrieves will help you get bit this Summer.
When someone talks about a tube most anglers immediately think of smallmouth bass or reservoir fishing. Almost no one adapts it for Summer fishing in grass, let alone for getting out on the ledges or deep offshore structure. The tube is one of the most adaptable soft baits with a range of effectiveness that touches trophy smallmouth and trophy largemouth alike.
If this bait doesn't have a place in your current line up for Summer bass, its probably time to add it. Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video, including favorite colors and rigging. We've also included our favorite tube rods along with some great budget options. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
