Hi all,
I have a question...
I am kind of intrigued by all the big fish that you guys catch with tubes like the red October baits and stuff like that...
I have never fished any of these baits and I feel like maybe I'm missing out on something big here ?? so...
Are these tubes supposed to be fished as pullbaits/jerkbaits or do you jig em (as in bottom fishing for big fish lying deep). In other words...how do you guys work these baits?
All info Welcome!
Oh... And what are your favourite tubes and why?
I realise this is a lot of questions in a single thread but Hey... I really want to learn this stuff!
Thank you very much in advance!
Greetz,

The monster tubes are all of the above. There are several rigs they make for them each achieving one of those actions. I am sure they would work great for pike.

Buy a few white ninja tubes with a jerkbait rig and a medium depth swim rig. I do very well on pike with RO ninja tubes especially the white and lemon head.

There really is no wrong way to fish a tube but with that jerkbait rig you can get them dancing very erratically. Quick twitches, long pulls, or smaller rod pumps
