I just spoke with Ted Takasaki about Tiger Tubes and he had another really cool rigging idea. He said that some folks take a zara spook body and insert it into the tube. Now you have a topwater tube. I would think that with a really small spook, you could make a neutrally bouyant tube and holy cripes...

This is one of the coolest threads on using a lure that I have read. Great job peeps.

Location: Kalamazoo, MI		Zara Super Spook fits perfectly inside an 8" tube, and with no hooks, floats. I would imagine that with the addition of a leader, and some hooks, it would be close to neutral bouyant, or perhaps sink at a very slow rate. Either way, could be worth a shot!

Esoxalot...

I suppose you can play color games with the trailer tube, but I have focused upon the salt scent and Land O'lakes artifical scents...

Speaking of scents, we haven't jumped into the natural bait scent as of yet... How to rig a chub minnow with the tiger tube and use via slip-bobber or planner board trollings... You can almost conceal a small chub minnow inside an 8 inch tube, except for it's tail which is located exactly where the treble is...

The 5 inch salted tube keeps that treble elevated enough to allow the chub tail to do it's thing and when presented very naturally with the aid of current and wind, slip-bobber, planner board, free lining, what else? well gentlemen, your going to get bit...

Like I stated very early on... Your imagination will limit you as to how you can fish this lure....

I would like to announce the Ddfenner Tubin club... Email me at [email protected] to receive your free membership and tubin alias...

Location: Kalamazoo, MI		Ok, this thing could work! Zara Super spook inside an 8" tiger tube. Spooky tube?

With VMC 4x 4/0 trebles, it is still quite bouyant. With the hooks toward the front like this, its perfectly balanced horizontally. With a trailer hook, the tail sinks. A little bit of weight in the middle or up front, and it would go neutral no problem. As is, it floats, but a quick jerk should get it close to 1' down. It should still work great for walking the dog. Time shall tell!

Location: Appleton,WI		How about putting an undertaker inside the tube???You would have a pretty neat tube glider then.

Somebody needs to post a picture of that one!

Another good leader material is Tyger leaders. It is coated and can be tied. Very cool stuff.

Thorne Bros has had it.

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin		 MuskieE I think you are on to something. I will try one of those. A suspending Tiger Tube, what a awsome idea. Looks like the Cave is a good as any place to try that one out.

Keep this one alive! Who would have thought of hanging some plastic behind some plastic? I love it. I'm thinking of white or semi transparent for the trailer like the baitfish often have light or clear tails. Stuff a real smelly baitfish inside? Wow. There is a scent that wont wear off in a cast or two. Thanks guys..keep the ideas comming
