“Kids today don’t know how easy they have it”… I needed this video as a kid in the 90s, I had no fishing guidance. I embarrassingly nose hooked unweighted tubes & pork trailers, no clue about rigs or jigs or techniques 😂
One of those rigs I have but never end up throwing. I will certainly give it a try this year in honor of ol’ Debo! Always a solid video from Debo’s Fishing
I like the tubes with the solid first quarter of an inch in the head because I use a Trokar TK190 tube hook that way you can flip it weedless and you don't have to re tie every time you need to change tubes
Have been fishing for 35 years, bought my first Baitcaster recently and you’re my teacher - love the channel. Different fishing here in Australia but same application of skills
Great video! One of my first confidence baits was a Gitzit finesse tube. Then moved up to bigger Venom tubes (great baits!!). Then kinda got away from throwing them-until a smallie trip on a Northern river. Wow they caught me 50 fish on one 4-hour float trip. Now gonna start throwing em in my local ponds.
Randy Blaukat also cuts his tube to reduce the plastic the bass needs to go through to get to your hook. This is a great video. I just bought a bunch of tubes and look forward to fishing them, especially the stupid tube. Thanks Debo.
Hey Devon, I'm glad to see you getting back into teaching the basics, it's always a learning oppertunity to see how others fish certain lures, certain ways, I know a few years ago when I 1st started watching you, I learned some very valuable lessons, and I still pick up gems from you in most videos, with the fishing sport constantly growing, your how to's will always be relavent ! keep up the good fight.
In the 90's, tubes were my #1 bait. Like you said, newer lures came out and they got set aside. Thank you for the tips, going to use them next time out. Really like the cut trick, should up the bite/catch ratio. Also the ned head. Thank you Debo.
Hey Debo….great stuff as always. I’m a big tube fan and two other ways I enjoy to rig a tube is the Shaw Grigsby HP hook and an internal weight system he had. Needless today I’m probably your dad’s age this was quite a few years ago. They also made and internal flat gitzit weight that you insert then put your EWG hook thru it to hold it in place. Both weightsare internal and give the tube a different action and it still weedless. I still use both set ups today with great success. Thanks for the video!!
I have not thrown a tube for quite awhile . Used to catch a lot of smallmouth up in Minnesota on a bitsy tube but I've kinda gotten away from them. After watching this video I'll have to revisit those baits. Thanks for the video. Excellent tips.
Been fishing a 2.5 and 2.75 short shank tube head rigged stupid tube for smallmouth here in Kansas the last couple of years. Not sure if it's because not very many people use it or not but it's been extremely effective and pretty snag free even in the rocks.
Thanks for the tutorial. Ways to fish tubes seem limited only by your imagination. I'm in San Diego and use tubes in our local bays and bigger ones in the ocean. (And lakes obviously) A rig thats worked for me is stuffing a foam ear plug, or 2, in the tube. Then fishing it Carolina style through the eel grass beds in our bays. The tube can glide along over the grass. And it floats up during pauses. Theres probably times this would work in lakes as well. Might be good an the free rig too
Hey Debo, zoom super salty tubes in green pumpkin are always tied on when hitting the creek for smallies. Great bait!!! I lube the weighted jig heads up with a little saliva. Makes rigging a little easier . Maybe cover the fluke? Pretty versatile bait👊
This was an extremely helpful video! I lost multiple tubes over the last weekend trying to fish tubes around cover never thought to put it on a stupid rig or Texas so thank you!
Debo… I have a confession…. I’ve never caught LM or SM bass on a tube 😢 been throwing Zman Ned lockz EWG with big TRD and trim them down when needed and never moved on from that due to confidence I have with it. Looking at catching one this year on a tube!
Next bait breakdown: Ned rigs. Different head designs, Elaztech versus regular plastics, different sizes and colors. What works best in cold water versus warmer water. Line choice.
fish almost exclusively a 3.5 inch tube. texas rigged. pitches, casts, flips great. usually with 1/8 bullet weight. toughest part of making it work is finding the right sized EWG hook. the old mustad megaLITES were excellent. best fit I've found now is the VMC heavy line 2/0...
Another great video! Thanks for sharing as always sir. Isn't it crazy how much that tube looks like a hollow body frog? Now, by far all of our favorite fun bait to throw around. Haha. We have the best 'toys' now days!
Bass pro has a craw tube, tube with a set of craw arms. I’ve caught an under of bass on it , t-rigged. It has a good glide fall action with 1/4oz bullet sinker.
Great vid! I’ve never had ANY luck on a spinnerbait and sometimes I end up watching them sail into the distance when I cast them. I’d like to get better with them so maybe do them next?
Great content and like I said before you explain every detail about all the baits and explain how to fish it and what to fish it around keep making these great videos and of course keep fishing God bless have a great day
Some people don't understand the bait don't make the rig lol. You can fish all soft plastics on a Texas rig, from finesse Texas rig, heavy power t rig and weightless t rig. Texas rig is the most versatile rig in fishing lol.
Debo you do have some great fishing and bait information I would like to ask you a question about fishing to tube I think I have told you I am new at bass fishing can you fish a small tube on a dropshot
Trokar makes some Tube hooks that are EWG esque but they are really awesome. They also have a super good stupid tube head that has there patented triangle point hooks.
Instead of spitting on a tube jig to help slide in i use liquid scent and if im texas rigging a tube i put a little ball of powerbait stuffed inside of the tube
Great video. I bought some Strike king 2.75" Coffee tubes but had issues yesterday fitting a hook to it. I have size 1 offset worm hooks but they seem too long , they go past the opening. What hook size do you recommend for this tube size for tex rig.
I try to watch all your videos but I'm sure I've missed quite a few of them because of my job but I have a question. I see you make those ewg Ned heads and was wondering if you sell them

Yeah, a lot of folks take that for granted. Just like anything, learning is the beat part of the journey!

Been waiting all week and a Debo Vidgeo, glad to see ya pal hope all is well.

Thanks, Debo.
I didn't throw tubes very much in 2023.
I will be trying some of these ideas in the spring.
Randy Blaukat also cuts his tube to reduce the plastic the bass needs to go through to get to your hook. This is a great video. I just bought a bunch of tubes and look forward to fishing them, especially the stupid tube. Thanks Debo.
You sincerely show your appreciation to your Subscribers in every video Devon and that’s alright my friend it really is Top Tier.
Awesome sweatshirt sir! Thanks for the information. I have a few packs of tubes but I have no confidence with them.

Iv been experimenting with grubs this winter. Bought some tubes for spring. All i need is a few jitterbugs and im ready to fish 24 like is 94!

Let’s see some stupid toob fishing Debo! I’m also interested in the free rig. Thanks for all you do!!!!!!!!

Stupid rigged tubes are the best tubes!
I definitely need to explore using these this year.

Excellent video
ANOTHER lure I haven't thrown much! Great tips!
I love tubes, I’ve stuck a little foam inside a tube Texas rigged and frogged it with some success 🤘🏽😆♥️
That's worked for me too.
A foam ear plug is about the right size n shape.
I’ll have to dig out the tubes I bought. I forgot about them. Great video
I can’t wait to try the tube on a Texas Rig! Thanks for the info Debo. Great Video! 👍🏾
Maybe do flukes at some point? Single, double, nose hook, on an underspin, on a drop shot (your favourite 😅)... So simple, yet so versatile.
I'll have to give it a try Debo.
fish almost exclusively a 3.5 inch tube. texas rigged. pitches, casts, flips great. usually with 1/8 bullet weight. toughest part of making it work is finding the right sized EWG hook. the old mustad megaLITES were excellent. best fit I've found now is the VMC heavy line 2/0...
I love the way your videos show what your talking about bro
Another great video! Thanks for sharing as always sir. Isn't it crazy how much that tube looks like a hollow body frog? Now, by far all of our favorite fun bait to throw around. Haha. We have the best 'toys' now days!
Season's greetings Debo!🎉
Thank you, Debo! Another terrific gear video!
Hey Debo, I caught my first fish of the year on a tube. It was a Debo dink, but I use a tube year round. Great bait and very versatile.
Bass pro has a craw tube, tube with a set of craw arms. I’ve caught an under of bass on it , t-rigged. It has a good glide fall action with 1/4oz bullet sinker.
Thanks, I learned a lot of good information on that video I used to do a lot of tube fishing. I got away from it now. I want to start back up.
Great video, thanks for the tips. I’m going to have to try tubes this spring.
Great vid! I’ve never had ANY luck on a spinnerbait and sometimes I end up watching them sail into the distance when I cast them. I’d like to get better with them so maybe do them next?
I like that Fenwick, was thinking about a Phenix Recon, older rod but looks great.
Awesome stuff Debo!
Debo whats the story on your sweatshirt? A sasquatch smashing girthy green ones with a spinnerbait is right up my alley. Lol
Eyewitness drawing of me at a local pond...🤣
Great content and like I said before you explain every detail about all the baits and explain how to fish it and what to fish it around keep making these great videos and of course keep fishing God bless have a great day
Hello debo I love fishing the tub at my local fishing pier 🎣
Great video tube is one of my favorites
Awesome video!! I've been wanting to throw some tubes and this is very helpful! 👍
Some people don't understand the bait don't make the rig lol. You can fish all soft plastics on a Texas rig, from finesse Texas rig, heavy power t rig and weightless t rig. Texas rig is the most versatile rig in fishing lol.
Debo you do have some great fishing and bait information I would like to ask you a question about fishing to tube I think I have told you I am new at bass fishing can you fish a small tube on a dropshot
I like the idea of cutting a slit in the tube, Hey, how about the Tube on a Drop Shot?
Trokar makes some Tube hooks that are EWG esque but they are really awesome. They also have a super good stupid tube head that has there patented triangle point hooks.
Great video! I love these types of series. Do you think the tube would work well on a hover rig?
Have to try that bait out
I think you need to pick up a few more packs of Tubes lol I lose a lot of soft plastics so it’s good to have back ups on hand.
Instead of spitting on a tube jig to help slide in i use liquid scent and if im texas rigging a tube i put a little ball of powerbait stuffed inside of the tube
Any plans to be at the Cedar Rapids Sportshow in a couple weeks?
Great video. I bought some Strike king 2.75" Coffee tubes but had issues yesterday fitting a hook to it. I have size 1 offset worm hooks but they seem too long , they go past the opening. What hook size do you recommend for this tube size for tex rig.
I try to watch all your videos but I'm sure I've missed quite a few of them because of my job but I have a question. I see you make those ewg Ned heads and was wondering if you sell them
Awesome video. Thanks
I like that weight tackle box. What brand and size is it??
need to check out hook up baits in the southern cali we use tube baits but not with skirts
Curious about the weight storage container. I’ve seen them but which one is that one?
Savage gear makes some sweet goby looking tube
I put it on a chatterbait I caught 7 in a hour from the bank . I was like at a public park no ffs. I couldn't believe the bass was killing it.
Randy Blaukat talked about that slit in the bottom of the tube on his channel.
Did you make those tubes in the thumbnail? I want those! Where can I get them!
Debo, what is that weight box you're using?
You should try bfs and tubes. Replace the fairy wands for a more manly set up. Unless your Debo and your wife is the man of the house 😉 😅😅
Great video
Good video 🤛
Cutting it works great
Hey Debo, do you think that a tube would work well for smallmouth on a 5/16 oz tube jighead with a 3.5” tube?
Smallmouth love tubes.
great video
Where can I purchase that cool shirt
A C-rigged tube has saved me multiple times on slow day.
You need to do a team up with Bill and Jimmy Deebs
whats up Debo!
Great video! I love tubes, even in saltwater! Where’d you get that cool shirt? Thank you!
How about Shaky head. But this is more selfish as I want to learn it better and use it this spring g summer
Finger measuring tape in action 😂
I miss the tube worm no one makes it anymore
What is that Sasquatch shirt!!??
Great info
I always have luck with gitzit tubes best smallmouth bass baits, always have one tie on my spinning rod #gitzit
Nice beard
Those are all great ways to rig the tube, but I'll choose to stay hard-headed and t rig it or stupid tube rig it
The tube is the sh- I caught 10 bass in 2 hours
I have a better Texas Rig setup...
Wow the fake beard has gotten bigger!!!
