Tube Jigs On A Baitcaster?

[Zinch32]

I've always used a spinning rod for tube jigs, but am curious if it will work on a baitcaster. Thanks for the help!

I do it . I use a 1/8  to 1/4 ounce bullet weight and t rig them .

Nope, it won't work.  Tube jigs are strictly to be used on spinning tackle.

Yep, this will work just fine. Just used this over the weekend.

80% of the time I use a baitcaster for my tube fishing, but I rarely throw a tube that isn't at least 3.75in. or larger. Between the weight of the jig and the tube, I don't have issues with using baitcasters.  The rod you use is more of a factor than the type of reel.

One of my favorite follow ups to a missed buzzbait blowup is a texas rigged tube in the same color with an 1/8oz weight. Works very well for me.

If I am fishing water less that 12-13 feet I will throw them on a casting rod. When I am stroking the tube I will use heavy mono or copoly to slow down the rate of fall which I cannot fish on spinning gear easily.

Yup yup. I vary the weight depending on the wind and depth I'm throwing them in.

Any particular reason why you think they won´t work ?

A parasite worm weight will keep the weight next to the tube and keep the tube in place .
