Tube Fishing Tricks For Bass Fishing! (Beginner To Advanced + Underwater Footage)

One of the best baits in bass fishing is being forgotten! If you haven't thrown a tube lately, it's time to bring it back to the top of the list for Summer! We have some key tricks we use to take our tube fishing to the next level, and today we're sharing them with you!

Many anglers grew up fishing tube jigs but have forgotten their effectiveness through the years. Most never realized the bait's true potential before slowly forgetting about it. Today Matt is covering the basics of how to catch bass with tubes, but it isn't long before he gives up the keys to this finesse presentation. From head sizes and shapes, to tube lengths and colors, this is everything you need to know.
