[@robertchalfant7233]

What about a tube on the Ned rig.

[@MarkZonaFishing]

I don't generally do that... but i'm sure it would work

Yes! Love it up there.

LOL Thanks Jim

[@roblacitinola866]

Awesome as always Zona, you have the best show out there, the wife and I never miss one!! Thanx for all the useful tips!! They really help!!!

[@MarkZonaFishing]

I appreciate that!

[@roblacitinola866]

@@MarkZonaFishing You need to do a show with Tim Little and Matt Allen out west, those guys are rock stars!!!

[@nickhintz2180]

Mark, can you go more into your setup for the rod and Real( med/heavy vs med). Thanks

[@MarkZonaFishing]

I think actions are very inconsistent across the industry. I like a soft tip rod but also want backbone so I guess I would say med/heavy. TO me the most important thing is straight fluorocarbon line - I use Seaguar 8lb AbrzX

[@jamescheatham8255]

Zman thank you for showing us how you do things and specifics of how to use these tactics. As a guy who loves fishing whenever time allows this is what we look to you Pros for. Thank you again. I believe you and a handful of other Pros are attracting more people to fishing with these how to videos. Securing interest in the sport for the next generation.

[@MarkZonaFishing]

You bet!

[@jamescheatham8255]

@@MarkZonaFishing I would still love to see you take Rob Riggle fishing with you. It would be Comedy Gold. You both have a huge following.

Hey Z, awesome Show Diirt!!! Keep it coming my brother 🙏🤙☮️😎

[@MarkZonaFishing]

More to come!

[@peterlong9629]

What power is the rod you use for this?

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Generally a stiffer medium action rod.

[@chasemccarter959]

Yeah bud

[@ryanhartman9876]

What size Tatula Reel do you use? I'm looking for a good setup for crackin tubes with Flurocarbon.

[@MarkZonaFishing]

3000 - The reason is because it has a lot of line capacity.

[@ryanhartman9876]

@@MarkZonaFishing bro, THANK YOU. I keep waffling back and forth on this and can't tell you how many times i've had the 3000 Tatula in the cart and didn't buy it.

[@renegade1088]

If I don’t have the ability to change between types of line frequently, which type of line should I always keep on my reel

[@bryanhaberstroh3480]

What kind of tube heads do you use?

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Trokar, Bite Me and Strike King

[@drewwilson145]

Mark I wanted to tell you your show on the WFN is I think the best freshwater show of the caliber of Bill Dance and Virgil Ward. It's entertaining and very informative. I know y'all are trying to sell lures and I know that pays the bills. But you have a damn good show. Thankyou.

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Thanks so much Drew.

[@timholsworth316]

love your enthusiasm! i would love to hear of some patterns re: structure, depth, seasons.. etc.

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Noted!

[@AjLynn45thParallelFishing]

Perfect Timing Z ~ Ice is a day or so from going bye-bye up this way. Great to re-visit this one Thank You #showdirt

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Thanks Aj!

[@west777s]

Hey Mark, is tube crackin mostly for grassy lakes to hang and snap free crackin? Didn’t know if it would work here in East TN with our highland reservoirs and rock. Great vid. Thanks!

[@MarkZonaFishing]

It works fantastic in rock - I've done it on Table Rock Lake with incredible results.

[@edmelungeon2239]

It works well on norris & cherokee!

[@charlieleeds118]

Great video z! Really helps find out new techniques for working a tride and true bait like the tube. Keep it up

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jimwareham8967]

Love this content! Can’t wait to see more!

I need to get out and try me some tube crackin! Thank you Menderchuck Lake Association President, Mark Zona.

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Working on it....

[@smallmouthaddiction8263]

Thats CRACKIL LACK'N

[@fishdaddy3513]

Man loved this thanks Z. I’ll definitely be cracking a tube soon.

[@timgrzybowski8800]

Do you ever use the stupid tube rigging and what tube hook do you use? Thanks

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Yes- in heavier cover whether it be rock or wood. I exclusively use a Strike King 3.5 inch coffee tube.

[@brycemilleroutdoors1725]

One of my goals in life is to give Z a big ol bear hug. Its gonna happen...

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Only elbow bumps allowed :)

@@MarkZonaFishing 😂

[@colonelangus7493]

Great stuff as always Z! Would you crack a tube in stained or slightly dirty water in a river or reservoir, or is more for clear lakes?

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Yes, it's more for clear lakes and sparser cover. In heavy cover or dirty water I would just go to a totally different technique.

[@rickbrown7067]

Nice load of Dirt, show us how you rig it also, thanks Rick

[@fffishing7572]

Love the new content zona, ur the man can wait to meet u! I live in cassopolis mi

As a matter of fact I will be!

That’s the kind of stuff I want to see what you catch them on and how you’re using it

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Thanks Scott!

[@greyhunter9287]

Bring on the dirt! Hey Mark, do you have any underwater footage of that tube when you are cracking it like that? I think that would be interesting to see. Thanks for the help. I was cracking it completely wrong. Didn't realize you were supposed to do it on slack line.

[@MarkZonaFishing]

I will have to dig through footage and see.... I’m sure we do somewhere!

[@timholsworth316]

excellent suggestion!

[@johng-5536]

How come you don’t have your own signature tube? I feel like you know more about tube fishing then almost anyone ? Just saying if you could design your own tube I would probably have to buy it

[@BrowerJ]

Give up the dirt on how you tie your hooks on a blade bait????

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Maybe that will be a "show dirt" topic!

[@Bassandbackpacks]

So when you start to crack faster you know you're hooked up already? I wanna crack the crap out of some tubes. Stay healthy

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Correct and if I’m not hooked up it will break loose from whatever cover I was in... which will often get another bit.

[@Bassandbackpacks]

@@MarkZonaFishing thanks alot z

[@rons35]

Great video, Z! I’ve been doing really well on st Clair so far this season with a tube. I’m gonna start crackin’ to stir up those fat girls out there!
