Securing A T Rigged Tube With A Barrel Swivel

[airborne_angler]

Has anyone seen this tip? I had an image of it on my phone,but seemed to have lost it.

Basically when rigging a T Rigged Tube, a barrel swivel is used to secure the tube to the hook so it won't slide on the hook.

Anyone seen this...I'm trying to remember how its rigged and can't remember...help would be appreciated.

 I know exactly what your talking about, but for the life of me I can't explain it. One of my tournament partners does this with baits that are prone to slide down the shank of the hook, and it works well for him, and he catches plenty of fish. It dosen't have to be a tube either, it will work with any t-rigged plastic bait.

I experience the issue of sliding tubes when texas rigged all the time so I would love to see a picture or assortment of pictures regarding this. It's a very interesting tackle topic

There are better ways to secure a bait, but I think you are talking about this:

I just use kvd mustad grip pin hooks. Bait stays put.

I can't think of the name of it either, but I've seen it used.

 

Rippin, that hook or even better the Gammy Skip Gap hook works well too. It has the shelf the hook that holds it in place very well.

This is also the same idea, you can also use a paperclip if you like that idea. I don't.

Yeah I have some of those too. It's a thinner wire hook so I alternate depending on the bait. I just found a whole mess of them I'd put in a bps worm binder years ago while moving to my new place. It's the little things in life haha

Sounds like a Parasite keeper to me.

I've used the swivel to secure, don't anymore.  I just use a standard worm hook for my weedless flukes, don't fish with worms.  I put a little hump in the flukes back, bait seems to swim more to my liking that way, doesn't turn over as much.

I think this is what you are referring to.  Looks the same as a previous post.

I don't bother with this personally.  If I am concerned about the slide I use a hook which minimizes that.  Personally I am big fan of the Gamakatsu Skip Gap hook.

Doyle8218 & Felix77, those links are EXACTLYwhat I was talking about. Thanks to you both!

I remember reading about this rig 2 or 3 years ago and I've been rigging my tubes like this ever since.

 

I know I posted this before but couldn't find the thread but here's a rig I used:

I've figured with a bead behind the bullet wieght it will create a bunch of commotion as it strikes that swivel...maybe a good thing...
