Tube Fishing Tips: Advanced Angling Techniques
Ron Colby with Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits. What we’re going to show you today is some tube fishing. We’ve got a Yamamoto 3 ½ inch tube, and we’re going to be using an exposed hook insider jig head. I like to fish this stuff along vertical structure and drops and pretty open water, rock, not too much grass or anything because with the exposed hook you’re going to get it snagged up quite a bit. You just want to take this jig head, get the eye going into the bait first and then just slowly so you’re not tearing the bait, you just want to slowly push it up over the eye and around the lead head. Over the eye and around the head until you get it all the way to the end. Push down on it, get the eye of the hook coming up through the bait, and now you’re ready to tie it on. Okay, for fishing tubes, you generally want to lighter line and used spinning gear. The spinning gear handles the line pretty good. You’ve got some soft sensitive rods; you can make some fairly long casts with this bait. Again, you just want to tie a pretty nice Palomar knot there or something simple. When you’re swimming it you lift it up, it’s going to pull it up and as it sinks it’ll let it spiral and go down fairly horizontally with the nose down. When it’s setting in the water….Right now it won’t do it, but it’ll become a little more buoyant and it’ll hand there almost horizontally in the water and you can shake it. The tails are going to float up a little bit. It has a lot of different action to it.
