How to fish a plastic tube bait for huge Smallmouth Bass

[@leonardmartin5145]

I love it!!! A million walleye anglers fishing the detroit river walleye fishin I'm throwing these tubes and jerkbaits catching 4 and 5 lb smallies all day long!! EVERYDAY. AND IM THE ONLY ONE DOIN THAT AWESOME!!!

[@MytwukBassin]

Tubes rock for smallmouth and largemouth, been using them for 30 years and they are as effective today as ever.

[@tylerdawsonmusic]

I moved from Northern Kentucky to East Tennessee last year and have really coming to love throwing a tube. Great video!

[@doreencraig1083]

Enjoyed your A-Z video on using tubes and feel a lot more informed and encouraged to use more of them. Good info!!

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Thank you! I have an on the water tube fishing video that is coming up shortly, so hopefully that will help you out as well!

[@pingramnet]

Wow, such an excellent video, thank you from Canada

[@101evo]

Great video you put on here. I moved from So Cal to Idaho couple of years ago and now learning to catch smallmouth which is different from all being large mouth. I will try the tubes this year. Thank you.

[@jefferyaisthorpe4520]

Thanks for the info! Going to take my kids out tomorrow, going to pick up some tubes!

[@kentaylor7664]

Like your videos. Most average fisherman don't carry 4 boxes of tubes. Never mind the other soft and hard baits.

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Thanks for the support Ken!

[@rubenand4825]

Great information. I've been trying to catch a smallmouth since the middle of last year. Hopefully with the information you provided I can catch one this Saturday.

[@pasta0328]

_A_ smallmouth? You haven't caught a single one? Are you fishing the same lake/stream/river by chance? Maybe they're just not where you're at.

[@pasta0328]

Since this was a year ago, wondering if it worked out for you

[@dylanwilliams1195]

Well, have you ever caught a smallmouth yet?

[@eddiet204]

Dude! I was looking for a bass tube video and landed here. Damn son! What a great video! I fish the CA Delta and went on a smallmouth hunt last week just to see if I could find them. Not only did I find them, I crushed them on top water. Looking for another weapon once the sun gets high and I think the tube may be it.

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Awesome glad you liked it!

[@Realestateinspection]

Dudes got more than my local Bass Pro

[@jamestarzia79]

After watching this vid I can't wait to get out there an throw some tubes!

[@jediangler4901]

eskimo tackle brother! Good to know there is someone out there who spends more tihan me on their tackle obsession

[@codyschwartz9678]

Nice job! Great info! Hungry for more!

[@SmallmouthCrush]

More to come, I guarantee you that!

[@sandman7914]

love your tube supply 👍👍☺

[@krywebb]

Love fishing a tube for those bronze backs!

[@SmallmouthCrush]

One of my favorite ways.....Just waiting to get some good on the water action videos!

[@Charactermatters650]

Thanks for sharing - good stuff - fish a lot of tubes already to great effect in NH, ME and MA. You my friend, need more tubes....

[@StelmachsWorld]

Personally when talking about different fluoros, I’ve found the cheaper fluoros to be superior for beginners learning to tie solid knots. My buddy was having issues with seaguar abrazx being brittle, he switched to BPS excel and its working better

[@dcooper701]

luv it, i like the tubes just need to commit more to them. We have small moving water around here in central and not the big jumbo smallmouth you all have up north so downsizing is necessary here.

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Bitsy Tubes!

[@nicholassandstrom8364]

Just ordered a bunch.. great video man👍

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Awesome!

[@miltonalbright1606]

Hay man milt here where do you get your tub boxes I would like to get a couple Milton

[@PRIZM_LOCK]

i believe i used half that "GO TO TUBES" when i was with you :D Loving your videos man.

[@adamwilson4834]

Ive had good luck with the strike kings but ill he ordering some get bit. Couple if those colors will be killer on gt bay this spring.

[@SmallmouthCrush]

I think you will like them Adam!

[@kappy0405]

This collection would last me several lifetimes lol

[@SmallmouthCrush]

I hear yeah.....I like throwing them and fish them a lot!

[@MegaNafo]

nice ! , I'm gonna try tube on a drop shot rig , never catch bass on tube yet

[@adamwilson4834]

Great video man. Not sure why your videos don't have more likes. Must be all the largemouth guys lol

[@SmallmouthCrush]

We will get there! Thank you!!

[@marcolson4493]

Good stuff. It is an art form. Btw. Good information.

[@garylukas3476]

I thought I had a problem till I saw the amount of tubes you have.

[@kevinvue8159]

Very great tips! New subscriber and I'll definitly be watching more!

[@AndrewBuss]

My favorite way to catch bass!! Seems like every video of mine has a tube victim.

[@alexandergeiser3854]

Is it bad to store pre rigged tubes with the in the head jig head. I'm not sure if the hooks rust, but I do know the lead jig heads get a white coating on them

[@bbmopar3834b]

Subscribed!!! Awesome video with info! I'd like to learn more on tubes for small mouth bass.

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Awesome thanks glad you liked it!

[@ElBote54]

I see the large & Deep Mother Supply utility boxes and the big plastic dumpster box full of extras BUT, I need to know if you don't tow a trailer full

[@mikek3638]

Nice video, Travis. What about Highland Reservoirs, such as Watauga Lake in East TN. What tubes would you throw there? This lake is a clear, deep lake with clay banks and points with large rocks.

[@foxbodysandfreedom8595]

Line through pegged weight on the inside and treble hook on the back in the strains

[@ryanuhazie]

More knowledge about tubes here than I know about fishing itself lol

[@davidredding7694]

What hook size on insert for 2.25 in. Tube? 1/0, 2/0 ?

[@richardshackelford4883]

great video. cabin creek tubes

[@greatlakezgirl649]

I just went to Xtreme Bass Tackle to order some tubes. But I also saw something called tube trailer. How are they used? with a tube or with a skirt on a spinner? I could not find a video of any kind.

[@tomstarcevich1147]

wow awesome tube collection i just subbed i love tube fishing for smallmouth and largemouth 😊

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Thank you glad you like it!

[@ericmayernick7804]

if you ever get around the Bloomsburg Pennsylvania area Holla at me been fishing the susky 22 years

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Awesome thanks!

[@ericmayernick7804]

@@SmallmouthCrush no problem dude don't forget hooked up bait company lol really an impressive tube

[@MrAluislugo]

Great tube video! What is the most common tube jig size, weight, and hook do you use?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

1/4 or a 3/8 is the most common for me. The hook is a barbarian or a mustad in size 2 for the most part!

[@MrAluislugo]

cool Travis. And if you had to choose one tube size what would it be? 2.75, 3.5 or 4.0? Tks

[@SmallmouthCrush]

2.75 hands down!

[@PedroHernandez-vi7ne]

Great informative video.👍🏽

[@SmallmouthCrush]

thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@vincentroberts1963]

Love the video and I just subscribed. I fish the upper Chesapeake for largies in the summer and the Susquehanna below the Conowingo dam the rest of the year for smallies and stripers. All from my kayak. What color would you recommend for that part of the Susquehanna?

[@sheilasmith8251]

Do you scents with your tubes?

[@vinnied368]

do you use a medium hvy rod or medium with your regular tube set up ???

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Medium

[@devinhoyt8396]

Lol "And it's really good at a power plant that's all I'm gonna say" 😂🤣

[@2aforever510]

Exactly where I use them. He’s not wrong lol

[@lawnbuddyandlandscapellc8765]

Good video Travis! Do you ever Texas rig tubes? Or use skip gap hooks? When you are throwing heavier than 1/2oz how does your set up change?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Yes I do, but mostly for Largemouth Bass when I am flipping. I have used Skip Gap hooks but not too much anymore. If I am throwing a heavier then 1/2 ounce with a tube insert for smallmouth I keep it the same on the medium size spinning rod. I dont use 1/2 ounce or larger a whole lot and only in specific situations mostly the larger rivers with deep water like St Clair River, Detroit, or St Lawrence and that is only during specific patterns. IF I fished a heavy tube more consistent then I would probably want to get a med/heavy spinning rod which would make handling those larger weights a bit easier, but I can get by with what I have for now.

[@lawnbuddyandlandscapellc8765]

SmallmouthCrush Thank you for the info! I'll see you at oneida. These videos are really well done and extremely informative. Keep it up man!

[@joshpink4431]

Good stuff!

[@wadeburkman2463]

Big flex homie. 20k in tubes

[@BaM92o]

what part of Wisconsin do you fish the most?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

I like to fish Lake Winnebago and Lake Michigan the most

[@brandtbroderick4451]

What kind of tackle box do you use?

[@chrisszymczak9329]

Brandt Broderick I’m this video they are planos but in his newer videos they are bass mafia

[@nojnoj3069]

What's a 'toob'? and what's a small mouth bass?

[@goodgugamuga]

Is that salt you've sprinkled on your tubes?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Yes there is Salt on those tubes.

[@Dodger29]

what size hooks are the tube jigs? barbarian 3/0 regular wire? round bend 2/0 light wire hook? Just got turned onto your channel...nice work...

[@SmallmouthCrush]

yes you are correct on those sizes....some of the barbarian are 2/0 as well. Thanks for the compliment!

[@rickyhrman3204]

i use a 20lb flouro leaded for everything

[@jrsfishingchannel8082]

Great video but I didn’t hear or see any tube heads with wire guards on them... almost everyone I know fishes Susquehanna and local rocky rivers use them. What’s your thoughts on them?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

I really dont use wire guards....just never needed them where I fish. I do get hung but often times I can pop it loose pretty good without breaking. I have used them around wood though and a weed guard works great for having an exposed hook around wood.

[@sealedsecure3754]

Just bought a 36 pack from Amazon 👍

[@bruceesterline3170]

So do largemouth bass.

[@FrankWolfeUDL]

He literally doesn't stop with the tubes holy cow he just KEEPS GOING AND GOING hahahahah What is he at, 500?

[@ericmayernick7804]

check out hooked - up bait company awesome tubes with a attractant smallies love

[@KINGMALIK031]

Hey Travis great video man.....I'm a beginner smallmouth angler...you seem to have thousands of tubes how about mailing some to me to use on my waters that would be greatly appreciated 😁💯👌🤔

[@Ridg76]

Every time my wife gets on my ass about having too much tackle I have her watch this video.

[@ryandecker3127]

Powerplant robert moses massena ny lol??

[@wjb111]

[@theythem118]

[@Pat19997]

[@pisstrooper0075]

Bass bite on anything lol

[@AddictedAngler]

[@DevinHoyt17]

Biggest mistake fishing tubes, assuming your imitating craw dads! 🍻

[@annmikez]

you must be incredibly wealthy

[@AlergicToSnow]

You call that simple?

[@trevorkraker192]

Im disappointed in you man! You dont have any food chain tubes???

[@richardgarcia6610]

SUBD

[@Jackofalltrdes]

csi LOLLL

[@MrCoffeekelly]

Way too much thought put into color here. Just stick with green pumpkin, that's all you need.

[@nojnoj3069]

So you have boxes and boxes of toobz......Are you a plumber?.....I sincerely hope that you don't eat those thing's, they look disgusting.

[@theguyyoudontlike9693]

Jokes on you, I don’t fish for smallies lol
