hylandtyler1 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Has anyone tried carolina rigging a tube on deep brush piles? Also weightless through bonnets/lilly pads? Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted August 11, 2014 Super User Posted August 11, 2014 Tubes are awesome just about anywhere. Have used a lot in weed pockets and pads. I normally use the heavier salted version if I want to go weightles and also put some smelly jelly on them for a slicker surface and longer fish holding on time. Dry Creek out of Idaho are my favorite brand too. Tight Lines 1 Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted August 11, 2014 Super User Posted August 11, 2014 Here are a few ways I have used tubes FWIW ... 1 - Traditional ... with a tube head. Drag or hop on the bottom. 2 - Flippin ... Bullet weight, EWG or Flippin' hook. Hydrilla all day. 3 - Mojo Rig - A finesse carolina rig and a 3.5 finesse tube. Deadly! 4 - Shakey Head - Keep those tentacles dancing at the top. Megastrike tubes and their Shake E 2 jig are awesome for this. 5 - Drop shot - 2.5 inchers nose hooked. Not much success with this technique. Never tried weightless. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Weightless rigged backwards works great. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted August 11, 2014 Super User Posted August 11, 2014 Weightless rigged backwards works great. I swear I posted this in this thread, must have not went through, anyways yeah rigging a tube backwards is pretty cool and works! Quote
papajoe222 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I add a packing peanut inside to get a tube to float high behind a Carolina rig and I also was fishing them like you do a fluke before zFlukes were introduced. Quote
