Went to one of my favorite spots last night - a row of three small ponds that sit in front of an industrial park. The biggest of the three is only about 80 yards long by about 30 yards wide. More like a big puddle ;D but this place always gives up fish.

So I start throwing a jig but it's getting fouled with grass and weeds on every cast. So I tie on an *** 4" *** rigged weedless and weightless on a 3/0 Gammy EWG.

Let me tell you what. Those fish absolutely ABUSED that tube. No subtle pickups, they were crushing it. I caught 12 bass ON THE SAME TUBE !!!! About 4 of them were dinks, the rest of them about about a pound or two but the last one of the night was a solid five pounder easily. After the fatty, the tube flung off on the next cast. That's when I called it a night.

Of course I had to re-rig the tube several times over during the night. These tubes have been my top bait this season but this was insane. :D

Were you jigging the tube?  I find they kill tubes here when jigging them, when crawling them they just pick it up.  I'm surprised a single tube lasted 12 fish... that is nuts!

I was jigging it most of the time.

Brent's tubes have a very thick head and a way thicker body than most. I don't think you could get the same results with a standard tube. They are heavy enough on their own to cast weightless on spinning gear.
