Tube Fishing Tricks For Fall Bass (Beginner To Advanced)
Спорт
The Ned Rig has replaced the tube on a lot of fisheries but wise bass fishermen know that the Finesse Tube will always be a staple lure, especially for Fall bass! Tim is giving away his best tricks to catching tube fish including how change fall rate, fall angle, actions, shapes, colors, and more! Get ready to learn everything you need to know about bass fishing with a tube.
So many anglers think of a tube as a 1-dimensional lure that catches lethargic bass. This could not be farther from the truth! It works great for lethargic bass but its also an effective tool when snapped for shallow bass, spiraled for suspended bass, or hopped in deep water. Once you learn the many uses for a finesse tube you'll always want to have one close by.
While ultralight light and small tubes is the "norm", don't be afraid to step out and fish the bigger tubes on heavier gear, even casting rods. When it comes to equipment, a heavy tube is no different than fishing a jig, shaky head, or Texas rig. Below you'll find a break down of the different baits, colors, heads, and equipment that Tim uses to fish his tubes.

The old lady came walking in right when you were talking about how to get the head into the tube. "Spit on it and shove it in". The look I got from her was priceless.

Hey it’s great advice for a wide variety of situations
Tim, Thanks for the instruction. I bought a pack of tubes about 10 years ago and am still working on the same pack. That explains how oftenI use a tube and how confident I am in using one.I feel like I do not know how to rig one. I almost exclusively use plastic so you would think a tube would fit right in. I have watched a dozen KZread videos on how to rig and fish a tube yet I get on the water and get stupid about it. I think I can use what you taught and put it to work this weekend when I hit the water. I am trying to break out of my habits and try different things. I have a lot of tackle yet only use a very narrow amount of it.
Exactly the video I needed, gotten several packs of tubes in my monster bass boxes. I've never used tubes before.
This is loaded with great information! Really nice tutorial, Tim!
Your advice and tutorials are invaluable…I’m getting back into fishing after a 10yr Hiatus and your wealth of information is amazing. Thank you for touching such a wide variety of tackle and techniques, while keeping the info grounded enough to help us newbies too…a lot of KZread anglers skip the basics assuming everyone already knows.
Another great video Tim! I absolutely love tube fishing for smallies, and your always bound to snag a few buckets while your at it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge brother, we appreciate you!
Another great video from the best bass fishermen on the internet. Tactical Rocks. Thanks Tim for the Tube Tricks. God Bless you and yours.
This is without question the most informative fishing channel. Your videos have helped me recognize the simple mistakes I’ve been making and strengthen my techniques. Overall I’m better prepared for the different conditions I face. Nobody does a better job of explaining things the way you do. I appreciate all your hard work and the help you provide us viewers.
Multi species angler here. Highly recommend 1.5" white tube on a trout magnet jig, its my go to when nothing is biting.
Never thought I'd be crackin' a tube in the South, but tried it for the first time yesterday and caught 'em. Dry Creek "Gold Dust" color worked for me. I had been waiting on an updated tube fishing video from you guys for a while. Thanks!

I've never used tubes; I'll give them a try. Thank you so much!

Years ago I'd use tube baits to catch saltwater fish in my area. Halibut and saltwater bass loved brown color or black at night. The last couple of years people have been using hook up baits and going crazy/raving about them. They are really use to fish because Hook up baits are essentially overpriced tube jigs with garlic sent.
Great vid guys! Thanx for sharing
I know you guys hear this a lot and for obvious reasons but you are by far my favorite channel and some of my favorite people the channel is what it is because of the people that you are it's amazing what you do for our community and we all appreciate it!!

Great video! I just got some tubes this year. I have never been successful fishing tubes so I’m trying to pick up all the info I can to become decent at fishing tubes.
Had a older man that I met today at the canal fishing that caught a nice small mouth and I got to Talkin to him and he handed me a handful of these with hooks and wished me luck , I'm new to fishing and I'm absolutely in love with and the community of awesome great people I've met 💪🏾🙌🏾
Nice dude great breakdown. Started seeing people use tubes recently out here in LA.
Great video!! Here in the northeast the tube is still used for fall smallmouth bass.
I got to say matt, time you guys have yet again helped me catch another monster bass in central missouri listening to your tipa on fall bass an baits to use. I caught a 6.12 today an a 27lb bag thanks again! Keep the good stuff coming.

Thanks. I was just searching for tubes for smallmouth too.
I really like the big bite salty tube. As the name says it’s a very salty tube. But for such a salty plastic it’s very tough. It’s not going to tear up for a good few fish. They have great colors as well. My local tackle shop had some on clearance and I got two packs to try and they are worth every penny!
Thanks for the info was given a bunch of those and had no idea how to fish them
Great vid.
You forgot about the weedless setups. My favorite tube fishing is Texas rig. I do 1/2oz, 2/0 on a 3.5 coffee tube. One day, I caught all the fish species in the lake I was in on it, except carp. haha.

There ya go giving away my secret go to bait ! When no one is catching fish I slip on a 3 1/2 inch green pumpkin or a green/blue flake .Great video !
Wow. Thank you Soo much for going in depth on tube fishing. For me this is the year I want to get into it and looking at all the ways to fish it. But I like the way you lubricated the tube head when installing the tube head in bait, besides scent what else could you use to slide tube head into the tube??
Was at the gear giveaway at county park thank you so much for the gear
Great informative video Tim. I live in Southern CA. And fish Lake Jennings occasionally, bath water clear (20ft) very pressured with extremely finicky bass. In the 6 times I've been there I've caught 1 bass, what can you tell me that would possibly improve my catch ratio? Very steep banks, grassy bottom(12inches) lots of reeds around the edges.
Good morning Tim!
Awesome tips brotha, im new at using tubes a underwater demonstration would have been awesome for the visual aspect
Great stuff man! Also, pretty sure that noise was sky trumpets lol. #conspiracy
How about under water video of different rigging to get the different actions. I.E. the straight fall vs spiral fall etc. But as always great video. Thank you for all you guys do absolutely the best.
Making short accurate casts/pitches at isolated wood/stumps with a light tube is almost ALWAYS a sure thing pre and post spawn. More $ has been won on a tube fishing smallie tourneys than anything.
Got 3rd place today on an ABA tournament fishing a tube for LM. 50 deg water post front and snapping it dirt shallow. Even the boys didn’t believe me!
Can you share the brand and name of the scent you used? I believe you said crawdad in the video. Awesome video as usual. Thanks for helping me land more smallies!
I've been bass fishing for 30+yrs and I've never used tubes. I need to add these to my arsenal for sure.

They work bud first time a old man taught me we killed smallmouth in a crystal clear deep pond.
have caught some of my biggest smallmouth with the trd tube
Mizmo tubes are my jam. Any good tube I’ve killed river bass on in MO/AR year round.
I got sick of them getting hung up so I started using Trokar's Tourny Tube Hook which makes the tube weedless with less hang ups.
Tim - do you ever Tex-pose a tube for heavy cover or around docks with brush? If so, what hook and weight do you recommend?
16:00 "You spit on this to get it wet, and then you slide it in"..... I thought this was a family program Tim!! Haha. Keep up the great work!
Great video. Any history on that ghost train?
Thanks Tim, how about tubes for largemouths in cover ?
If I’m using a finesse spinning rod setup normally used for drop shot, what’s the biggest weight I should use?
When you were in Michigan did you happen to fish with Snack Daddy elite tubes? Their tubes are fricken awesome
Have you ever tried ringing the tube backwards so that you pull against the tentacles? I have used it that way for a lot of years and it works very well. Instead of ringing it with a standard tube hook you rig it with a ewg ... I use usually a 2/0 or a 3/0 ought depending on the size of the tube.

@tacticalbassin have you guys ever fish Castaic Lake in Southern CA
I am from north Florida. We have a lot of vegetation. What’s your thoughts on a weedless stupid tube rig. I have never used a tube and looking to start.
This was an informative session. Most of my fishing is done from the bank. Do you think tubes are a good choice for bank fishing rivers , ponds, and lake bays in northern NY?

For sure when fishing for smallmouth
Tubes have saved me on potential skunk days many times in fall. Usually not the biggest fish but better than nothing.
What head do you use for the TRD tubeZ ?
That looks alot like michigan. Was that were you guys were fishing?
if I wanted to fish more finesse, could I use a 3.75 inch strike king green pumpkin on a 1/4oz tube jig head with a 4/0 hook on 10lb braid with 12 lb fluoro or mono leader on a 7ft medium, moderate spinning rod? I live here in the north east.
Any input or advice about using football jig heads? Have you tried the stupid jig method, if so, what do you think about it? Totally new to fishing tubes.
TRAIIINNNNN HOOOORRRRRNNNN!
The thing I love about these tubes is that they’re so versatile You can catch a bass in so many ways. I’ve seen people catch fish by leaving them on the bottom. Just saying t hear tubes work
I love how you’re including showing the techniques you use another really helpful thing that could be included in your videos is what part of the lake and depth you should be using these things that would be a HUGE help as I don’t know the right places on a lake to apply these techniques
Tips on rigging a tube weedless? Tried the jigs with wire that hooks over barb, but seem to miss some hook ups.

Fla. I would try the fat Ika because of its weightless rigging. It will fish on top of the green stuff. Rig it regular if your going over cover and backwards if you want to go in the cover. #4 gami EWG. No Senko cache' should be without some Ika's. When the senko bite slows try the Ika to show them something different. Delta & Clear Lake is the only salad fishing we got besides small ponds. Mostly steep & deep rock in Corrupt, Ca.
Good video! Definitely a Steam Train whistle.
Just tube it up baby.
Godzilla wants to fish good video and thank you for the tips
Would you buy the molds and plastic to make your own baits or would you just buy plastics?
I heard a strange train sound while fishing recently too. Anybody know what that sound was?
Float tube video would be good too
The tube may be an older bait back east, but around the Yellowstone River its a new bait to fish.
Tim and Matt! If I am committed to Dobyn Fury rods and can only afford one finesse spinning rod and one baitcasting rod, which two fury rods would be the most universal? Thanks for all you do for the sport!

@Michael A-1 Appreciate the encouragement, man. I don't think the problem is the lakes.. Part of the problem is they're in northern Cali with rock and sand bottoms, 60' deep lakes with 100' holes, while I'm in central Florida with nothing but muck bottoms, where 12' is a deep lake and a 20' holes are rare. Their lessons still apply, but it's a very different situation.
Tube video for the youtube LOL
I do a lot of river fishing in central Ohio for Smallmouth, and have had a ton of success with the TRD tubez. I rig it weedless or woodless because I get a lot of bigger fish on lay downs. I use a 1/16oz. XPS tungsten ball head 1/0 ewg hook and rig it with the hook point inside the hollow portion of the tube. Gotta be careful with that 5lb sniper floro around the wood but t;hey get bit. I just with they had more colors. My fish really like that green pumpkin orange available in the TRDs, and TRD Crawz. link.fishbrain.com/zF3g
