Tube Fishing Tricks To Catch More Bass! (The Forgotten Lure)

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 for 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 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! Matt covers 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!

Below you'll find links to all the baits, heads, and gear Matt 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.
