Bass fishing is an extraordinary sport that is enjoyed by men and women of all ages and skill levels. One of the most productive tools used for bass fishing is tube lures. Fishing tubes are one of the best inventions ever designed for bass fishing. They work great and they are so easy to use that even a beginner can use them successfully.



The best thing about using tubes is the fact they are so versatile. If you love to fish off of docks and banks or go out in a boat it doesn't matter. You can use them anywhere.This type of lure works so great they are sometimes referred to as the "killer bass fishing tubes". When used correctly you will be rewarded with a nice catch that you can be proud of.

There are a large number of tube designs available and some of them are even combined with the shape of baitfish that the bass eat naturally such as the salamander or the crawfish. There are even special products that have been designed to be used specifically with the tubes and these include hooks, trailers, jig heads and rattles.

Tubes allow the angler to fish any depth of water ranging from the very bottom of the water all the way up to the surface and everywhere in-between. They can be used in any season which is one of the reasons they are so popular. Fishing from a dock using a heavy action rod combined with a tube jig will produce excellent results. Flipping and pitching are the techniques used most often when fishing from a bank or dock and tubes make it more interesting and productive.

Casting your Tubes

Casting your tubes is very important. You need to practice until you can cast accurately into the landing zone and do so softly. You don't want the tube splashing round and making lots of un-natural noises or you will scare the bass away before you can even get started. You also need to make it to the strike zone before the bass will pay attention to your offering.

The bass are usually located all around structures such as docks, stumps, rocks, ledges, weeds and so forth. Learning how to cast directly into these areas without disturbing the bass will make a big difference in how they respond to your bait. Tubes are great for these areas because they don't get hung up as easily and the bass are very attracted to them. Spend some time practicing your casting until you become good at it. Once you have perfected your entry technique you will see a big improvement in the amount of success you have each time you go bass fishing.

Rigging a Tube

There are several ways to fish with a tube. Many anglers fish weightless, meaning they are used just as they are. Place the hook through the nose of the tube and bury the point of the hook inside the hollow part. This method is best used for fishing in weedy or grassy areas because it helps to prevent the hook from getting snagged and hung up on structures.
