Stupid Tubes???

WOW, how cool that you got to go out fishing with Terry and see first hand the rigging method.

I'd be very interested in your attempt to describe every movement you make as you rig the jig and tube. I like the sound of the different actions on the fall. I think I will need to book marke honey creek tackle right now!!

Thanks,

Danny

That is not how Terry rigs his "Stupid Tube". His method is much better. I will see if I can make a diagram with the computer somehow.

I went out fishing on my own last night to a couple locations I know fish are always at and to put what I hopefully learned from the day before into action.

The main thing I noticed was the dramatic increase in frequency of bites. I could throw to the same cover with a worm, a jig, and a stupid tube in random orders and the stupid tube won 4-1 at least. Granted I was where I know I can always catch fish, but the increased bite rate sold me!

i think what helps me is that with the strike king flippin tubes, they are weighted at the tip. i also get the erratic darting every which way.
i would like to see terry's method tho.

I fished with Terry way before the Classic. He taught me how to fish the tube. It is now one of my go-to baits, but not at the top of my list. IMHO, if you can catch them on finesse jig, you can catch them on tube and vise versa. Fish the stupid tube the same way.
