Tubes

​

While tubes are probably the number one way to catch smallmouth bass, they can be used to catch smallmouth, largemouth and spotted bass as well. 

​

Tubes come in various lengths usually between two inches and as long as five inches. The most common size is 3 1/2 inch.

​

Tubes are usually rigged on a standard tube head which come in sizes from 1/8 oz to over 1 ounce. They can be rigged Texas style using a specially designed tube hook.

​

There are a number of ways to fish a tube. The most common are dragging, hopping or snapping it off the bottom.
