c17Lat Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 what are some good tube hooks for texas rigging, beside regular EWG worm hooks? Quote
basser89 Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Is there a reason you're looking for a different hook? The other question would be, what kind of tubes are you using? Quote

I'm just looking for something to increase my hook:land ratio with t-rig tubes. I use zoom 3 inch and the berkley 4 inch flipping ones. Quote

The best way to improve hookups is to use a tube jig with an exposed hook. Quote
tbird Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I use these around cover , but agree the most efficient way is with an exposed hook. http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/worm-hooks/820470.aspx T Quote
IDbasser Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I like the Gamakatsu skip gap hooks, seem to hold the tubes on better. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted November 2, 2009 Super User Posted November 2, 2009 Owner wide gap plus. These hooks have a wider gap which will accompany a thick bodied tube or other similar bait and of course since they are owners they will flat out stick the fish.This is also the hook I use for a Fat Ika Only downfall is that if you don't like a heavy wire gauge hook.

Super User .ghoti. Posted November 2, 2009 Super User Posted November 2, 2009 Owner Rig'n hooks. Shorter than normal EWG's of the same size, but still have the wide gap. I like these for tubes. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted November 2, 2009 Super User Posted November 2, 2009 I like the skip gaps,Owners long neck & wide gap in a size 4/0. I don't skimp on hooks. Quote
river-rat Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I been using the Mustad Big Mouth Tube Hook in the 3/0 and 4/0 sizes for t-rigging a tube. Give 'em a try -- you won't be disappointed. Quote
c17Lat Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 anyone ever try this tube weight: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?catalogId=10001&cmid=OLPHVIDEO_488_HIGH&connectionSpeed=broadband&k=Bass&langId=-1&option=2&startRow=0&storeId=10151&template=video.cfm&videoID=488&videoType=prodcutdemo it looks like it would be hard to get hook penetration with this thing in the way Quote
MNGeorge Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I've been using a jig made by Fin-tech called a Title-Shot for tubes and other soft plastics as well. The hook up ratio is excellent, it's pretty darn snag resistant and you get a lot of fish per tube. Quote
