Tubes and Jiggin'

[Btech]

Hey all

 Just wanted to put a post in about jigs and trailers. Most of you will probably tell me Im crazy but this worked for my co-angler when we went out on Wiley last weekend.

 We all know pairing up a Jig and Trailor is a Great way to catch bass in Coldwater. We know Tubes, work great on a Trig during a spawn period, but have you combined these two together?

Jig with a Tube? My bud did and i thought he was crazy it looked too bulky didnt match and just wasnt somthing I would do, 5 Min later I had one on my reel after watching him rip a 3.5 lb bass out of the brush, Than again 10 min later pulled them out from under a dock.

It obviously works - Have you tried this - what are your opinions?

BTW - It was a BassPro Football Jig with a Strike King Coffee Scented Tube.

Dont know if that helps but figure it would at least give you an idea as to why i say "Bulkey"

I have never tried it but I wouldn't be above not trying it one of these days when the usual baits aren't producing.  Sometimes all it takes is showing them something they haven't seen before.

You're not crazy.

I'll bet most succesful baits were laughed at before they became mainstream. "That thing's ridiculous. It'll never catch anything"

BTW, I fish Strike King Bitsy tubes on the surface with an unweighted #2 straight shank hook. It's a killer when they're surface feeding.

It always pays to think "outside the box" and show em different things!  ;D
