Im really liking the size of these tubes! Lately Ive been using bigger and bigger baits and this tubeis PERFECT! I don't like hollow body baits so these are solid bodies. For size comparison that puny thing in the middle is a standard 2" tube. Im rigging these with 2/0 and 3/0 hooks. First one is a blue thunder / chartreuse and the second is a real good color around here. I call it pearlple.

Rig those solid body tubes with a jig from a SWM bait modified to look like this

Pretty much snag proof in the local rivers I fish

Solid body tubes are the way to go! The pearlple almost looks too good to throw in the water..... like i need to eat it rather than the fish. Mmmm... taffy.

These Caught the most today! Blue thunder and a new combo i just invented... You prolly never heard of it, black n chartreuse. All Tipped with 4 to 5" minners. Also used black saltys for the first time. Really need to get y'all a pic of these things rigged! You'd croak the first time you fished with bait this big... For crappie atleast.
