Tube baits are a soft plastic lure category that is old school yet defy getting old. This video showcases five proven methods for rigging tube baits for bass ranging from the tried-and-true Texas-rig to the new school Tokyo Rig. *See product links at the bottom.
In addition to those above, we showcase tubes rigged weightless, rigged a heavy jig, and round it out on the Carolina rig. We hope the underwater video helps you choose the best tube delivery system for the conditions. Good luck and Enjoy!
