I'm just getting into using tubes and I gotta say this is really going to help me land more fish! Thanks for the pointers! Happy fishing y'all! 🙂 God bless
Great points guys. When Matt asked his question, I'm surprised that your informative answer didn't take it a step further. I fish on the Great Lakes and I have been asked that question many times. I start exactly as you did by suggesting you use good finesse gear and that you need to know your lure/weights and how they interact with the topology. However, I think that a lot of Bass will pick or peck at this lure sometimes before inhaling it. So for me, feeling those pecks (without my line running) let's me know that I may have a strike in a couple seconds.
Last year I was fishing a craw Texas rig and one of the ways I knew I was gonna get bit is you have to be patient with the bite and you have to feel it. Your fishing line is kinda like sonar, you have to let your feelers feel what’s on the bottom and have a sense of anticipation of when the fish bite. Because let’s be real, when they want it they will go after it.
@@tacticalbassin I discovered this video while searching & researching videos on snapping or crackin' a tube. Its something that fascinates me, which I'd like to learn to employ at one of my local smallmouth lakes! Tim sounds like he's kind of doing that by keeping it moving, but not in the same manner as Zona. I got tired of dragging a tube years ago, but the bouncing of the slack line and the erratic movements style puts a whole new spin on tube fishing!
Good Evening TacticalBassin, Thank you 4 the informative Video! I Truley admire your Determination and Presitance in chasing these Magnifcenent Bass! I don't have alot of finances to accomindate the adverse conditions but I admire your determination which drives me further into my quest for the ultimate Small or Large Mouth Bass, Not to mension Pike or Musky! I've watched your video's relgiously and found them relivity Very Compelling! Keep up the good work! Sincerely Mr. Carl J. Gwizdala. Aka "Desperado!"
Most of the waters I fish don`t have bass in so I use all info for any type of fish on plastics to use I go after what ever is in the water where I`m at use of grubs tubes and paddle tails
There is going to be like an almost 20 degree drop in temperature between Friday and Sunday and the forecast is calling for a 16 mph east wind, not ideal conditions to be on that lake, take care!
@@pdbandit1 well that figures, thanks for the info, with my work schedule I don't get out as much as I want and the weather usually doesn't cooperate with me lol
No idea where you are at or what part of the lake you intended to fish, I always fished between the western Cleveland and Marblehead area, east winds give that lake a lot of room to get rolling in my area.
@@pdbandit1 yeah I usually go out of midway marina by catawba, it can get rolling pretty good, might just cruise the marinas for largemouths if it gets too rough
Matt, back in the early and mid 1980's I had a 24 foot Searay I kept docked at Midway. i am disabled and really haven't been able to fish since 2003, but East Harbor was always a better bass spot for me than West Harbor. Can't imagine how much fishing pressure it gets now.
Tube fishing, absolutely my favorite way to fish! A lot of people here in Oklahoma don’t really use them often but I use them all year around and almost always crush with them. Rivers, ponds, lakes the tube gets it done for me.
Oh I almost forgot, ever try slow, straight swimming a tube? It is another presentation I don't feel a ton of bass see. It looks so lifelike and subtle when those tentacles just undulate softly.
Have you guys ever heard of a spring fed lake?.....how do you fish them its somewhat round with 3 docks on it if thre is anything you guys know about this type of lake id like to know how to fish it thanks
Great video! I have the gear for throwing tubes but never use them! I went out this morning and threw a tube around and stuck a 4lb smallie! Thanks for the in depth video! I definitely changed the way I previously fished a tube and it paid off big time!
Thanks for this video! Tubes exposed hook were by far what my grandfather used the most when I went fishing with him growing up - at the time I never asked him much about it, but I have a bunch of them as a result that I have been itching to use.
my buddy and I fish one section of table rock . we have been doing this for 44 yrs. most areas the exposed hook gets hung so much its not worth it, and rigging the hook along the outside of the tube gets bite with about 5% hook up. Once we started bending the hook slightly out and the tube bite is on were having fun again ! We use a sm. bell sinker and a EWG hook and fish 18 ft. or less. I am 72 and always said the more you learn the better you get. Thanks to you guys the process continues, my confidence builds and my passion for the sport is on going.
I threw a tube on a dropshot in super clear lake in New Hampshire, and caught some big smallmouth. I always seem to do best on those weird makeshift rigs I come up with on the fly!
Mr.Tim and Mr.Matt you guys have thought me way more than I could ever thank you for. I've only been bass fishing for 9 months cought my first bass 12-12-17 and now I have loved over 400 I live in Tampa Florida area it's a pretty cool feeling the guys that were trying to tell me what to use and how to use it are now asking me what when where and how to use things and I just want to thank you guys very much hope you never stop.
Tubes are my absolute go-to's for finesse smallmouth river fishing, particularly anchored up on the inside of a bend. Keep lightly popping it and let the current carry it while dropping... nailed some monsters doing this. Good tips, guys... Great to see Matt back on the water!!
There is nothing like finesse tubing. However, I LOVE power fishing slightly bigger tubes by flipping them in thicker grass and under docks in that stained to slightly muddy water. None of those bass see tubes and I love to show them something different, especially where I live where all our lakes are super pressured.
Not many guys where I live use the Ned rig yet but every one has tubes tied on at tournaments 😁. I think the ned will get more bites but the tube can get bigger bites.
The end gave me chills. These guys are really good. Matt and Tim, your passion and consistency has payed off. Watching your vids motivates us, inspires us, gives confidence and so much great information. Thank you guys. You have no idea how much it helps.
@@gabedeleon5256 Awesome, never been up there. Probably some great bass fishing around you. I'm in chino hills ca. We got some giant bass down here. Been at them for 5 years now throwing the big swimbaits. Haven't got the giant yet but still at it. Still throw the smaller stuff from time to time just for that confidence booster!
Really good info as always. Without your channel I’d still be casting aimlessly. I can’t remember the last time I got skunked. I’m catching bigger and more fish than I ever have before. I know what to feel for and have more confidence than ever. Thank you both.
You talk a lot about east coast midwest and west. Do you have pointers for us here in the mountain states. Im in colorado and the fishing here stinks. I would love to challenge you guys to a solid day on some of my fishing spots. 1 fish a day or even 1 fish a week is a good day or week. Any pointers?
Thanks Tim, good info. I've never fished a tube so will have to get some and give them a try. Really appreciate all the info and help you and Matt give.
This is straight up the best fishing channel on RUclips. The videos are mind-blowingly regular and I always learn something. "watch me fish" and other memes have taken over some otherwise good channels. You guys are killing it. Also - Tim - Thanks for putting me on Old Ugly.
I fish a tube alot in fall, but i don't finesse it. I use a 3/8 or 1/2 oz head in a 3-1/2 strike king coffee tube & jerk the piss out of it. The fast reaction & fall of that heavy head really gets the active fish's attention. I throw it on 12 to 15lb pline c21. 7' heavy extra fast falcon bucoo rod, lews 7.5:1 speed spool. Bites almost always come on the fall.
Great video guys. I started using the Gitzit tubes this year and found that the Smallies LOVE crushing those things on the fall. The Gitzit tube is a smaller, narrower, profile that for some reason is way more effective the strike king 3.5 coffee tube. Can fish them side by side, same colors and the Gitzit out fishes the Strike King 5 to 1. As Tim said, it is a good thing these baits are not too expensive, as they don't last very long, two or three fish max and it time to tie on a new one. CANT wait for the temps to drop just a few more degrees as the fall bite is one of my favorite times of year. Thanks again for the great content.
Well it all depends on where you throw a tube. They generally should be thrown in places with little weeds, deep, and more clear lakes. See I live in Michigan so as long as the lake is deep and not that weedy I’m good.
@@grandfishing590 I live in the North and you can't throw anything it's basically crankbait,wacky rig or Texas rig and if you're lucky a jig I have to drive like 40 minutes to actually be able to throw baits like spooks , spinner baits, buzz baits , chatterbaits, swim baits and soft plastic creature baits
Would love to hear your thoughts on going straight flouro? I use it when throwing a tube and really like the extra stretch it provides when cracking a tube without moving the bait too aggressively. Any reasons you prefer braid main line for tubes?
I've found Braid to Flouro to be the ticket for multiple reasons. A lot of times you'll never feel them hit on the downfall so it's important to be able to see your line sagging into to the water and watching for it to move or jump. That's easier for me with braid in most lighting conditions. I have a hard time with that when running straight flouro because of the memory coils on flouro. I prefer a longer flouro leader attached to braid. Hopping with braid may be possibly better as well because of the bouyancy of the braid, at least it seems that way to me.
On your drop shot set ups do you guys use straight fluoro? Or are you running braid to fluoro leader. If braid to fluoro what size line is good? I have been using 6-8 lb fluoro? Thanks guys!!!
Hey I'm looking for a super stout heavy tube hook. I need the weight somewhere from 3/4 to 2oz and inbetween. Do you know where I could get that hook. It's going to be used for saltwater fishing
Great video. I want to mention that your link for the Bite Me heads is incorrect. Also, while I understand and appreciate that always using a 1/4 ounce head helps in familiarizing yourself with the weight as you mentioned, is fall rate never a factor that you play with? It seems particularly influential with smallmouth in my admittedly much more limited experience.
Hey guys, a stupid rig on a tube is simple and weedless. Ive never had an issue with hookups. 3/16 shaky head jig, cut off any twist locks... catch em up.
Love tubes! Great video. I'm primarily a bank fisherman, and normally rivers; any good pointers for guys like me? Tim and Matt, the yin and yang of power and finesse fishing!
P.s. wish there was a way to share pics with TB. Got lots of good pics of quality fish from Indiana that I would like to share; and entice you to come fish with me!
PLEASE DO A VIDEO THAT COMPARES THE WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY OF TOPWATER POPPERS VS TOPWATER PROPBAITS LIKE A RAPALA SKITTER PROP FOR EXAMPLE!!! Thx in advance lol.
If you are fishing a tube with a tube insert head getting a good hook set should really not be an issue, the hook is exposed and the tubes generally small enough for even 1 - 2 pound smallies to take easily. A 3 1/2 inch tube was pretty much the standard size we used on Lake Erie. If you are fishing around cover rigging them texas style is a better way to go, not much cover just rocks on the main waters of Lake Erie though.
I'm just getting into using tubes and I gotta say this is really going to help me land more fish! Thanks for the pointers! Happy fishing y'all! 🙂 God bless
Great video thanks
Great video.......
I use the Powerteam Lures food chain tubes when i want to mimic craws. The tubes have craw claws on them that mimics it a little better I think.

I start exactly as you did by suggesting you use good finesse gear and that you need to know your lure/weights and how they interact with the topology.

I’m making it my life goal to like every single tactical bassin video!
Dang!
love working a tube uphill...unless your rocks are covered in zebra muscles! LOL took me while to realize why i was going through so many tubes!!
If u had to pick and could only choose one what tube jig would you use??
60* eye vs. 90* eyed tube jig hooks make a difference.
Absolutely! I like the 90 in deeper water. Less hang ups.
Perfect timing! I'm headed to lake Erie this Sunday and got a bag full of tubes to chuck at em. Thanks guys!

Do you ever put spinners on your tubes?
I pour/shoot my own baits, I just got my 2.75" tube mold and I can't wait to use it
The possibilities are endless
Awesome! So what does a main lake point look like to a bank fisherman?
Nice to see Tim back on the boat. Great job guys. Love the videos
Like the format with questions from Matt. Pulls great info from Tim. Great video fellas.
Loved the Gitzit since the 80's. Great video 👍

Tubes in small creeks 👌
Thanks for the shout out to the shore guys!!!! Lol. Never tried a tube.

Tubes & Ploppers!! baby 🎣💪🏽😤
Is there ever a time where the bass won't bite finesse baits but will crush some sort of reaction bait such as a crank or spinner bait?

I would like to get you some of my baits to see how you like them they are not for catching fisherman just fish
REALLY enjoyed the dual video and appreciate bringing some helpful info to us bank fishermen who don't have the boats! Great info as always!
Never catch anything on a tube but I only used one for 1 cast and switched to a crankbait
Obsidian caught a small musky on a pumpkin tube and my pb small mouth, same lure, same night. Mostly all I use since then.
