Tube/Marabou Combo

[Happyfisherman]

Came across these tubes with marabou, too big for crappies, wondering if anyone has seen something like this for panfish. I've become fond of the tube jig heads and I'm pretty certain the addition of feathers would be deadly. If anyone has made some of these that are smaller please lmk

I may learn how to tie and make these myself, can't be too difficult

Tie them like a jelly jig. Put the plastic on then push it up and tie on the tail material then push back down. Shouldn’t be too hard like you said.

Ok, I'll look into that. I guess I need a jig stand or holder, not sure what it's called. And some quality marabou

Or you could push a marabou jig up into a tube jig body.

(I'd lubricate the inside of the tube jig with a spurt of Slab Sauce & that'll make the insertion easier, plus add scent that'll last awhile after getting soaked up into the marabou jig's chenille)

[Happyfisherman]

That's a good idea, I'll try that

The centered tube jigs will always have a different trajectory than ball heads. The tube jig heads will spiral on the fall, creating a bit of line twist that on the retrieve gives the jig a bit of
side to side waggle like a baitfish that induces strikes. The marabou would certainly add to the appeal

It's called a Vise. You don't really need an expensive one, either. an inexpensive one can range from $15.00, while a good one can be up to a bit over $200.And of coarse they go up from there.

Oh ok, a vise. I'll have to watch some videos on tying and check out some vise's
