Tube Lure - Pointed Nose - Available?

[Bartableman7]

• Does anyone make a tube with a pointed nose so I can come through weeds easier?
• I like to fish my tubes with no weight and a 5/0 heavy Owner hook.

 

Thanks for any information.

I am going to help you out, because that's what I do.

I use the Gamble Hollow points for stick baits & tubes and just about any

weightless soft plastic.

Can be used as they come,

or you can pop off that little tube  & spring deal and just peg it.

I use a small bobber stop.

and this is what it looks like on a stick bait.

You're welcome

Thank you sir.  I'll give them a try.

I have a bunch of resin and foam ones floating around, but I don't use them much. I also drill a hole in presta valve covers (If you actually use it on your bicycle wheel, we know you don't really ride, kinda like loop knot and fishing) and use those.

I've always thought Texas rigged (or stupid rigged) tubes came through cover pretty well myself.  I usually use tube jig heads or bullet weights though, so IDK about using them weightless.

these might be some of the coolest things I've ever seen, they look like they can save me even more durability on my plastics also.  will have to try some

OK ~

Well perhaps also check out Parasite clips.

Keeps your soft plastic from sliding down the hook shank and balling up on the point,

which can really hamper a solid hookset.

These two in combination can be quite beneficial.

Especially when not using the heaviest tackle.

What size seems to be the norm if you don’t run bait more than a tick past eye of hook? Medium?

I use the small clips on 2/0, 3/0 and sometimes 4/0 (if the bait is short or perhaps I bite off a bit) EWG hooks.

The medium clip takes care of bigger baits on 4/0 & 5/0 EWG hooks.

I rarely go bigger than that (at least in domestic waters).

I have used the cap from certain bottles to do the same. Just drill a hole and thread it on. Not as good as Ajay's set - up, but it works and costs nothing.

Glad to hear and thanks for the follow up ~

I've been a fan of these things for a while.
