Stupid Dirt ~ Sweet ! Tubes all day everyday . . It's like a buffet ~ ! . . .Keep'em Coming Z
This is something I tried this year. It works awesome!!! Cracking!!!
Z-you’re awesome! Thank you for sharing the dirt with us. Always Incredibly Helpful stuff. Quick hitters, too. Love it
You bet!
U the man Z! Haven't thrown it much always Texas rig mine. Guess I'm gonna have to try the stupid way 🤪 u said!
You really need to come catch a catfish with me some time. Yes, your ESPN Basscenter cameraman now has a UA-cam channel....BAM!
Your the man when it comes to them whisker kitties.
Keep em coming! Love these videos. We all can have great fishing ; as long as we practice catch and release!
Love The Dirt .... I get great tips every time, and lots of times those spur new ideas for me ! Thanks Zona !
Awesome video, the tube is in my top 10 baits
Awesome, brother! Now you are “U-tubing”! Lol Keep these videos coming!
More to come!
Loving the Lawrence River tournament going on right now! Thank you for being the vessel that brings us, as aspiring professional anglers, the real-time image of what to expect. It is GREATLY appreciated! We love you and your team, brother! God bless you and your awesome family (I think your boys can out fish you now..lol) If I had one wish, it would be to do a smallmouth fishing challenge with you-and I’m from Florida! Let’s get it! Lol
Thank You... I have never seen how to rig tube jigs so they can be weedless. this should help me a lot.
Love the Show Dirt Z. Keep rockin
Stupid tube is the juice. 🔥 been throwing one for years. It’s tied on and on the deck year round.
I’ve don’t think I’ve ever used a tube but now I might!😃👍
Keep bringing the dirt Z
Lovely video really enjoyed it thanks for your advice and guidance 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m rigging this up this week. Great vid Z!
Have fun!
Thats a nice pea shooter in the background. LOL
Keep that dirt coming Mark! Love em. I told myself a few years ago to try the stupid tube down here on Lanier for spots, but pushed it aside for the Ned. Since Lanier is so pressured, I’m sure not many people throwing a tube down here for spots. I need to resurrect that idea, and give it a shot. Ha ha
Thanks Mike!
More great stuff Z!
Going to give it a try
Tubes, BEST SMALLMOUTH BAIT EVER INVENTED!!
My all time favorite bait. Caught tons of fish on it. Never tried it weedless like that. I think that will work great for me. Have to get me some of those hooks.
Dude, I've been fishing the Stupid Tube rig for about 6 years and it kicks Bass. I need it in our lakes in Southern New England because of all the cover. It rarely gets hung -up. Get some of those jig heads and You'll be glad you did.
Great video
Cool tip
Glad you liked it
Just saw Z hands through the whole demo
Hey Z...just keep opening up that SLAUNCH MOUTH and spewing all kinds of tips...and don't you dare stop BOY......boom.
Lettttt the boy wattttccchhh
Would this work late winter before the grass gets going? Kind of scattered on flats.
How do you work the stupid tube ? Do you just hop it like a jig ?
Mr zona have you ever fished Black lake New York and if you have any suggestions
Hey Zona, you didn’t mention how your working the tubes when rigged like this. , any insight?
Z-train how well do you think this would work on a large mouth lake that has stem grass in it? Your thought and you need to do a walk through on those giants hanging on the wall. Great job as always keep it up.
I think it would work 100%
@@MarkZonaFishing thank you sir
Hey Z, are you still running straight fluoro so you can crack it stupid style or are you running braid to a leader?
I generally run braid to a leader to get a more solid hook set
Love stupid tube
I like the stupid tube but I hate having to take the hook off every time I change my tube so I switched to the Trokar TK190 tube hook and they are awesome!
Does this setup work on Large Mouth, I live in Florida
Stupid Tube jighead is genius!
I do something similar but use a tube on a swimbait hook. Spring screw in the head and then it's belly weighted. Give a much different look for them
I'm gonna try a modified version of this, with a heavier weight, for fishing in current
Can you fish the tube year round?
How effective would this tube setup be in a flowing River? I’m going to be hunt’n smallmouth in the Columbia River I. Washington this late July/August, will this tube setup work in a different body of water like a River?
terry finished 4th in the classic fishing it in current so yep lol
I fished a stupid tube all day and I got crazy line twist.. what am I doing wrong?
You can also buy Stupid Tube jigs and tubes. Google it.
How is this 3 years old already! I just watched it yesterday. Tube friends
I would assume this would also work very well in streams and rivers for SM?
100%
“Stupidity Expert” 😂😂
Did you use baitcasting equipment because of cover
YES - I was in very thick stuff that day
I fish a tube jig ( Black and Red flake) more so than not.
The tube version of a Texas Rig.
Z!! Will you crack a stupid tube or do you not get a good hookup ratio without the hook exposed?
Generally no I don't crack a stupid tube. I usually fish it more like a standard jig or Texas rig soft plastic.
Mark Zona you are the Yoda of smallmouth. Thanks brother
How is it for rip rap ?
VERY GOOD! In fact that's probably my favorite cover to throw it in.
“Stupid is as stupid does” ; Forrest Gump
LOLOLOL
I take it you just work it like a texas rig or shakey head right bounce it up through there
Pretty much that's all you do!
@@MarkZonaFishing thanks bud be safe up there and come on back down here to alabama #hogs
That is my go to confidence bait it's a killer bait but soo stupid lol
I like to put h a stupid tube, it's the 4x4 of tubes
Just leaving a comment. I don’t even own a tube bait.
There is no better Tube Jig Then this I Love It caught a lot of Smalls & Big Mouths Last Yr.
