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.
