Insert a foam earplug in the tube to either slow the fall or to make it float off the bottom. This gives bass the opportunity to bite it on the fall or as it’s floating. You can also dip the foam in some scent before inserting it into the tube.
Randy i must say you are a true fisherman. I would much rather my kids to follow you as the new generation of fishing gamers. You have skill my man. May God bless you this fishing season.
Randy, I don't have a dad to teach me the fishing wisdom and secrets that people who are a certain age have. I now have 2 youngins and less time to get on the water and learn. Nobody is gonna hate you for this video, you didn't say anything you haven't already. I know people can only say so much about the same techniques, TacticalBassin does it too, but I was really hoping to hear something new and different about fishing a tube. I just fished my first tube last year and loved it, really want to build on it. Much love, peace
Yes, I also was all ears wanting to hear something new and about this "closely guarded secret". I guess the secret is just the fact that you need to consider fishing a tube more, and don't put it on the back burner as an old, worn out lure/technique.
... Tubes are a great bait for many techniques ,, the 4" with and without a solid head or all hollow for flipping /pitching .... smaller 2"-3" tubes with leaded jig hooks put internal with line eye poked through ,, great for smallmouth with a spiral fall ... Tubes have won many tournaments all year ....
Caught a big fat 3lb bass today on black lizard today! I had not thrown lizards in years in years! Thanks for your video! Bass snatched it as soon as it hit the water, great fighter! I throw them all back in!
I have never fished a tube purely because i didn't know how and where. As a bank angler i thought i will never work but i will try it for sure. Lofs of lillypads and grass in our local dams here in South Africa. MUST work, even from the bank.
Randy, I remember back in the late 90's when I lived on Table Rock, you were killing it up in Kings River on a tube bait in a tournament. Rumor had it that you were nailing over 100 bass per day on tubes! Can't remember if you won but everyone around was buying out tubes at Lucky Strike and they couldn't make enough of them, lol. Those were the days!
I love fishing a tube and I’ve used a ton of different hooks but I found the ultimate tube hook it’s a Trokar TK190 or the Eagle Claw tube hook, the Regular Eagle Claw is the same hook just a needle point instead of the Trokar point and it’s cheaper than the Trokar but either one is the best tube hook you will ever find and I use a 4 to 4 1/2 inch tube and you will want a 4/0 or 5/0 I prefer the 5/0 on a 4 or 4 1/2 inch tube also that hook is great for creature baits also, I love that hook and I’m 100% sure you guys will also
My standard flipping tube setup was always no more than a 3/16. Anymore than that you take away the spiraling fall,of the tube. If that is what’s working.
Awesome Randy! Thank you! I remember seeing a Bill Dance episode when I was a kid, where he took a tube and inserted a ribbon tail worm into it (so the worm tail would be hanging out of the bottom of the tube); he rigged it weedless, similar to how you did in this video. I tried it myself, and would work the lure much like a soft jerk bait. And that thing would slay bass from Florida to North Carolina.
... Lots of tricks for tubes ... there are a few different small rattles that can be inserted into the tube ,, great for bed fishing or just a slow presentation ..... can also add gel type scent into the tube .... another trick I use is to put in a tube rattle ,, break up an Alka Selzer tablet ,, put a piece in the tube then add the gel type scent behind it to "plug" and slow the release of effervescent bubbles while shaking on the "sweet spot" of a bed ... HANG ON ... ..... OOPS !! Secret's out now ....
Been using a stupid tube for ever about 20 years, I use kvd crawfish to scent the jig head , but I do like what you are saying about roughing it up I will start doing that thanks Randy Great videos It’s a great bait always hot one tied on especially on grass lakes
Randy.Thanks for the tube rigging tips..I hooked and lost what I know was a dbl digit Bass yesterday and I lost sleep over it last night. I'm still hurting over it..I now know that I had the wrong size hook setup .Great info.Im going back out this afternoon and try this setup..
Tube baits for saltwater fishing is all the rage in California. One brand called hook-up baits sells two 1/2oz tubes for like $17! I don't support that company anymore but other tubes work just as well.
Thanks Randy! I am mainly fishing for small mouth up in Canada near Quebec. Usually its during the months of June and July. Any tips for fishing during these warmer months? Appreciate your videos
The tube is 1 bait i just can't get interested in using...works for many people, but i have no confidence in throwing it...MUST have confidence in throwing any bait to be effective...Of course, unless you're a Scoper...doesn't matter what bait or skill level u are in actual fishing
Randy, couldn't you cut bottom of tube, and barley hook into top, make u in and out slot, then drop it back down into tube make it weedless? Or will action b same if u skin hook on side? I fish river 70 percent of time, hang ups are everywhere, I lose to many hooks and tunes fishing a exposed hook.
If you don't learn how to master this lure and have this lure in your year round arsenal, you are missing out. The more they chew on them, the better they get.
There are too many pieces to the "skirt" of most tubes. After separating the pieces, I pinch out every other one. There are still plenty left, but they have more slack, and move around better.
Honey creek tackle has the best deals on tubes check them out Bags of 25/50 count Near Indianapolis Indiana Every color you will need even orange craw I use it on a chatter bait believe it or not it works great and stay pinned up with orange color CBait Check out there custom jig tube heads there better than any other brand you can get them in bags of 15 I think got so many 3/16 is the correct weigh though Honey Creek Tackle Bargersville Indiana
That jig head rig you can rig it weedless , it’s called the stupid tube rig , just saying , I’m not trying to critique the messenger , only trying to share ; I love a tube too and sometimes add a trailer to it , a twin tail
Good bassmastersneed to as well jt thompkins out there with a 18in wide live scope screen if not 20in. Ridiculous spotlighting fish this has gotten to far out of hand someone needs to step in and start regulating this shit....
Go watch jt thompkins day 3 highlight. Bassmaster from day 3. First fish he reeled his jerkbait into the side of the fish. This is the first time i can say that it was a bad look.
@MN43725 you obviously did not watch the video. Dude never jerked the jerkbait, he reeled it then the rod loaded up. Stop talking out the side of your neck.

You are the definition of a true fisherman by sharing your knowledge with other fellow fishermen...... don't worry about them haters!
In the early 90's we used to put an alkaselzer tab in the tube to create a popping air bubbling lure 😂....it actually would catch bass 😅
Thanks Randy for showing your prep of a tube !

I live in North Dakota and the smallmouth fishing can be awesome. You should check it out.
Me too. Grand forks
Thanks! You're a good teacher 😊

Thank you I am going out tomorrow and try this
Best video ever from Randy 😊!!
Great video ! Thanks for sharing the tips !
Good video and demonstration!

Many of my biggest largemouth have came on tubes and some during tournaments
Love the tube!!
another excellent vid
Love it mann

3/16 is a good weight for flipping.
bought a pair of solarbats for my wife and the frames broke a week after getting them. Haven't heard anything back from solarbats about a resolution
Just send them a message on the website they will take care of it for sure
good info Thanks Randy. I need a plae i can buy tubes, a good selection?
If you don't learn how to master this lure and have this lure in your year round arsenal, you are missing out.

Randy, did you forget that Stupid tube I left for you after our on the water lesson?
Randy. Will the solar bat sunglasses fit over my regular glasses? Do they make some that big?
Are the lenses glass on the sunglasses?
Get you some haters ole boy 💪
Hey Randy, does the tube still spiral on the fall when the weight is on the outside of the tube?I have never tried it like that. Thanks for the video.
SCREW the HATERS
What tube was that?
Does anyone make a weedless tube hook that I can use instead of texas rigging it?
Trokar weedless tube jigs are the best. You’ll find most other brands use too big of hooks. Try and stick with 4in tubes for fishing weedless.
Where is the secret?
In the sauce
What brand of tube do you prefer?
Honey creek tackle has the best deals on tubes check them out
Bags of 25/50 count
Near Indianapolis Indiana
Every color you will need even orange craw
I use it on a chatter bait believe it or not it works great and stay pinned up with orange color CBait
Check out there custom jig tube heads there better than any other brand you can get them in bags of 15 I think got so many 3/16 is the correct weigh though
Honey Creek Tackle Bargersville Indiana
100 count if you want lol
Strike King 2.75 green pumpkin with a little bit of spike it garlic scent on the tips of the tails work good for me
That jig head rig you can rig it weedless , it’s called the stupid tube rig , just saying , I’m not trying to critique the messenger , only trying to share ; I love a tube too and sometimes add a trailer to it , a twin tail
That rigging works perfectly for skipping docks and laydowns!
You already have plenty of haters so, a few more is no big deal. In fact, it's probably good for business.
