I like tubes for bass anytime of the year on just about any waters.

I used to put the styrofoam in the nose of the tube but my hookup ratio was not good. I figured the space needed to compress the tube to get the most hook exposure was compensated. This is why I do it after the hook is rigged because the fish can bite all the way down
