Largemouth Bass and Tube Baits

[Glenn]

Yes, tube baits work for largemouth too!  Here's some cool tricks from Classic contender Pat Schlapper

I've been using a flipping tube since they came out in the late 90's after Denny Brauer won the Classic with one. For the past couple of years a flipping tube has produced better, for me, than a jig-n-craw. I have the utmost confidence in this presentation.

 

In fact, just this morning I went out and a flipping tube outproduced every thing else. It's gotten to the point that I have started keeping two rods with flipping tubes rigged with different weights. 

 

I have also found it to be very productive when punching through matted vegetation.

One of my local lakes has steep chunk rock banks in the lower half. Crack'n a stupid tube on the ledges can be lights out in the spring. It's all LM in that lake.

I’m not afraid to power fish a tube on 1/4 oz to 1/2 oz t-rig.  Works well in bigger rivers with current.  I’ll catch large mouth and small mouth this way on the titabawassee and Saginaw rivers.
