rigging tube jigs

I been asked many times how I rig my jigs . I use bigger tubes like the 2'' Umbrella Tubes made by Southern Pro on bigger 1/8 oz insert unpainted heads made by Timmy Tom Jigs. Always check lead for burrs and remove if needed . A little lube , fishing scent or in a pinch spit helps . The jigs look more natural , saves money no using painted heads but best of all tubes tend to last much longer and no stopping to push them up while fishing . Sometimes If I don't hang it up and take care removing fish I can catch a limit on one tube , This video is small tubes and jig heads but you can get the idea loading a tube with a jig head .

Never thought of trying that, but I will next time I am out. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for sharing!

I like that!

Thanks Nimrod!

Heck yes, I love that rigging technique. I will definitely start using it. Thanks again Nimrod for a great tip..

Thanks NIMROD!

You can actually get jigs made to go in the tubes, the led is a little more torpedo shaped so that it slides in the tube. You make a great point about keeping the tube on better and not having to adjust it every time.

Nimrod, what size hooks do you like? I’ve always just used the tube jig heads from Southern Pro.

Time to test the theory that the jig head color difference has no advantage? So mush of my fishing is a ritual that it has a superstitious element to it.

Great tip, Thank you for sharing

#1 or #2 on the 1/8 oz insert jig heads .

i prefer using a painted jighead on the outside of the tube just to offer a 3rd color to the bait that may be the one they are looking for on that day , ive seen on a regular basis that different color combo’s make a big differance day in day out,but the tubes will deffinately last allot longer using the inserted method and has been a proven fish catcher by CA Douglas for many years, just not for my liking . if the shoe fits then by all means wear it [emoji106][emoji16]

The reason they make all kinds , colors , and sizes of baits . Use what you have confidence in .

Nimrod you be telling all the secrets now. I can attest to catching a limit on one tube jig rigged like that.
