Hello Matt, how about this: if you want to downsize a tube, try rigging it by inserting the point of the Eagle Claw size 2/0 570 jig hook into the open end of the tube, push the point out the front of the tube's nose and leave the 1/4 oz. or 1/8 oz. head right at the opening of the tube where the tentacles begin. If you feel a desire to make it look more like a central New York goby, you can snip off the upper and lower tentacles to just leave them sticking out at the sides. Gives a shorter profile and great action with the tentacles bent back as you work it.

I started fishing for smallies with tubes and really used them a lot for all bass. I got away from them experimenting with different lures, but always used the little ones for panfish. I started using them again a couple years ago for bass. I am thinking of a tube on the bottom with a little tube above on a dropshot as a killer Fall/Early Winter technique.

After seeing Matt's suggestion of replacing a dropshot weight with a Ned Rig, I don't know why anyone would ever use a dropshot weight ever... Instead of a weight, just use some other type of bottom contact lure... Double the hooks, covers 2 levels of the water column, chance at a two-fer! A dropshot weight can't do that!

One thing Matt I can honestly say about your content is I have yet to say #1 Nah I don't want to listen to what you're about to say #2 I've heard the same content like this before elsewhere Started watching your content back last week of April looking to learn how to fish jigs on YT you came up in a search along with a dozens of others Been watching every video of yours I can find since then I now only concentrate on you and only 1 or two other fishing content providers What separates you from most everyone else is you spend 90% of your videos giving sound easy to understand and apply fishing techniques and very very little time trying to sell your viewers equipment and most importantly your techniques have worked for me and my sons. Since then based on your videos I have given both the drop shot and Wackey rigs a try and have enjoyed success with them when my traditional Texas rigged soft plastics weren't producing I especially look for all your videos on smallmouth fishing in the great lakes as Lake Michigan is walking distance from my home and it's absolutely phenomenal smallmouth fishing. Use to drive 45 minutes each way to fish the Kankakee river just for smallies from 1983 till I discovered smallmouth fishing in lake Michigan in about 1993 and it was at least 2-3× better and never went anywhere else to chase smallmouth again. No one I've ever watched on YT puts out better more useful bass fishing content than you and I will give all providers a try that come up from a YT search Great job keeping your content very helpful and BS free

I’m glad somebody made a more recent tube video. I came up with two tube rigs I’ve been killing river smallies with and both are weedless. The first is I’ve been taking a bed rig hook stuffing it in the tube making a little hole 90 degrees at the bottom and running my line through then using a bobber stop on the outside of the tube where the line goes in to keep the hook from coming out. It crushes also I haven’t used this yet but put a hole on the tip line through bobber stop again and then use your favorite egg weight for a Texas rig feed it to the bottom of the tube with a small treble hook behind it stuffed in the tube so you can drag on bottom and have a trebble hook to keep ‘‘em pinned weedless. I call it the swan rig because of my name lol. You should try it and see what you think

🍺 Try multiple tubes on the same rod. Similar to a donkey rig and or double fluke rig….. (swivels of course for line twist) The tube on the bottom is (weighted) and the 2 and or 3 more tubes above are drop shot style. Check your state’s regulations on how many your allowed. You can catch 2-3 at a time and learn at what depth the bass prefer that day. This works excellent for those that do not have electronics to see where the fish are holding and learn the bottom make up of the area you are fishing. I prefer a semi heavy weight on the bottom for the “contact feel” and the cast ability especially if it’s windy and or current.

Something I had always heard was you’re going to need to fish a tube to catch smallies on Lake St. Clair. I had never had any success fishing tubes before last season.

The locals do not use the drop shot rig but a spinning rod with light line and just throw it out, let in sink to bottom and just pop up similar to worm fishing.

Ok, that droppie tube is sick. Ever take the weight from an old Dark Slee.. **aHEM** agent e? I have enjoyed the results. No game changer, just cool. I live in SW Michigan Beachtown, right by a juicy harbor where 2 rivers meet at the big lake, and it should be a bassin sin the amount I'm not using tubes. When I know good populations are there though, I won't be on a boat for days. It's so satisfying to walk and catch those giants. I taught my girl to use casting gear last spring, I've had her on the bass dingy flippin, she can skip, but all she wants to do in life now is throw this bare zman willow-bladed jighead with a fluke down at the harbor now she's experienced those big browns power fishing. We've barely been in our little boat lately. But man, it's's hard to teach someone the ways. I didn't even make a single video this year, but man I stuck tons of hawgs, and so did she, and we watch you and Randy daily. She scoffs at small bass already. Doesn't even want to think about them. You'd be shocked at the amount of Michigan gigantic largies she's out up, fishing flippin jigs in grass mostly. And we only fish public lakes too. I didn't take her to ponds and say this is it lol

I was wondering if they make ewg or weed less hooks for the micro tubes? I also fish with micro tubes but almost always get hung up as well.

Absolutely works perfectly. The whole Creme line is perfect for bass and other species. I have not used the Berkley tubes yet but am confident they will be just as effective. The Creme line is available at Walmart.
