Hook For Tubes

[papajoe222]

What brand/ size hooks do you use when T-rigging a 3.5 in. tube? A 3/0 wide gap Gammy works fine for my 4in. tubes, but is too long for both the 3.5 & 3.75in. ones as the hook's bend extends past the body.

Eagle claw makes a weedless hook I tend to use for all of my tube fishing, I tend to have issues with tubes on most other hooks I've used. This one you just slide the tube right through the hook and let the hook keeper do the work for ya'.

I like the Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Tube Hook and I use both the 2/0 and 3/0 for my 3.5" tubes. That hook has a really big bite so the shank isn't as long as a worm hook of the same size and it has a good bait keeper on the hook shank. I use the 3/0 when I use my 3.5" heavy tubes and I use the 2/0 when I rig my 3.5" thin tubes, you read that correct, I use 2 different tubes of the same length with different diameters depending on what I'm using them for.

Oldham's jigs makes a pretty good weedless hook for tubes.

I use a Confidence Baits Draggin Head. It's a weedless jig with a screw lock on it. They're amazing for me here. Very weedless, rarely snag anything and if it does it's usually because I pushed it and used a tube long after the point stayed buried.

The Gamakatsu Skip Gap Hooks 3/0 works well when Texas rigging a 3.5 inch tube.

Hook is not heavy wire and I'd not recommend it for heavy cover applications.

I use some old Eagle Claw wide  Gap hooks that are short and round  . Matter of fact I use them with small shad for catfish , they hook  like an octopuss hook .

What tube is that on the right?  Hell, I might bite that thing if you dangled it in-front of me.
