Location: Maine Township, MN		Bought some tubes to try this season. Looks like by default, you get the shallowest rigging system in the prerigged box from Rollie and Helen's anyway. I was looking online last night and couldn't find these rigs anywhere else besides R.O.'s website. I'm fine with ordering direct, but generally you can save a few $$ going retail. Where do you buy yours?

Looking specifically for the heaviest monster tube swim jig and a vertical rig. Targeting 17-30 FOW.

I get most of mine from musky tackle online. If Aaron doesn't carry the heavy ones you can try emailing him and he can probably get some in for you. I bought some heavy models from reeds sporting goods but that was before they even offered the lighter weight so not sure if they do anymore.

Location: Racine, Wi		You can make the rigs pretty easilly with some .051 wire. Can make some pretty cool modifications too.

Big Wood carries Red October Tubes in the lightest rigs. Logic being that it's easy to add more weight to these tubes but hard to take weight away... Although our inventory of Red Octobers has been pretty decimated this Spring, we have a large order with some nice, new custom colors coming in just a few days!
