So I just started trying tubes a couple weeks ago and I have been using the tube head jigs to go inside the tube itself with the line tie comming out. My question is that is the line tie supposed to come out the side of the tube? Or the tip or top of the tube or I guess the head. i Asked someone at cabelas how to rig it and he said to take the tube and wet it, stick the jig head threw the back of the tube as far as it will go, hook is sticking out the back of the tube exposed so it gets better hookups. But it looks weird bc the line tie comes out the side of the tube instead of the tip or head of the tube.

The eyelet is supposed to come through the side of the jig as far as I know. Of you Google image "tube jig" there should be some examples of this. Assuming you are using a tube jig weight that is.

The head goes through the side of the tube to effect how it falls. The ones that come out at 90 degrees tend to get hit on the fall, but get hung up more.  The ones that come out on a 45 give up a little on the fall, but don’t get hung up as much

I primarily use two rigs: 

 

1 classic internal jighead in which you insert the jighead, poke with the eye of the jighead through the plastic and tie.

 

2 stupid rig

Here is the easiest thing to remember with tubes. If the weight is out in front like a T-rig it falls straight down. If the weight is internal the width of the spiral increases as the weight moves farther away from the head. All of them have their use and purpose. It's literally the most versatile bait every. 

 

The 7" or 8" Tora tubes are amazing. You can fish them like anything from a swimbait to a crawdad. The little tubes get bit too much if you're trying to catch decent fish.

I use tubes with the solid head, usually with a bullet sinker and just rig like any other plastic. much faster and easier to rig.
