The female hand model you are using really brings a delicate beauty and grace to your videos. Thanks.

[@adamthomas6969]

LMAO….I noticed that too. May I say that you have pretty hands Jonny? LOL

[@FishtheMoment]

After all the comments I got, I think I might be in the wrong business! Haha

[@razorbak6783]

Your videos are absolutely perfect, video quality, info. on the gear and baits, the cadence in which to use the baits, the graph info....etc....etc....I could go on for a long time listing all of the things I like about all of your videos. Like I've said before you're probably (IMO) in the top 3 best fishing YT channels there is. Thank you so much, I've picked up a lot of valuable info. that has improved my fishing tremendously!!!!

[@jessieh9304]

thanks for this video with detail on knot, size, weight, shopping list (and map). really helpful for beginner.

[@eddieboswell6068]

Thanks Johnny for the tips, I really enjoy your videos and I have viewed lots of them.

[@galexand07]

Very thorough, I’ll be giving this some action!

[@LowBrowFishing]

I love using a tube. I find that the old "chattertube" is a great way to entice those stubborn fish who don't want to commit. And that is the same exact process I use to tie my Texas rigs from start to finish. I always peg my weights. I don't want a plug knocker swinging free, after all.

[@stoneysdead689]

I used to peg my T. rig every time as well- and I kept wondering why everyone else was catching more on the rig than me- finally figured it out, stop pegging the weight every time. A pegged rig falls all the way to bottom under the influence of the sinker- in other words weight down, tail pointed at the surface, usually straight down or with a slight pendulum back towards us. An unpegged rig falls this way about 2/3rds of the way down- then it stalls, changes to the horizontal position, and then the action changes- it slowly flutters or glides to bottom- depends on what it is. It's that stall and change of action that I think gets us so many bites. If you're punching veg. you don't have a choice- peg it, but if I'm in open water I will never peg a rig.

[@LowBrowFishing]

@@stoneysdead689 Each angler has their preferences, for sure. That is true, a weight certainly does dictate how a bait falls. And most of the time I want mine to go straight down. I use unsalted baits because I want them to float. That pegged weight keeps my bait sticking straight up and down underwater and I can use just a little action to get that tail to wiggle, much like a shaky head. As I mentioned before, I used to not peg my weights, but after personally watching that weight knock hooks out of fish's mouths on a head shake, I switched and never looked back. I'm landing many more fish than I used to. It's what works for me. If you feel more comfortable and confident letting your weight slide free, then you should absolutely continue to do that.

[@richardmajewski3815]

I have been following a tip I learned from Bill Lowen on tubes. I just bend the hook out slightly and have increased my hook up ratio significantly. He also showed me how to insert the hook at a slightly offset angle and I can get several more bites before the bait is no longer usable.

[@quincypettigrew2557]

Great technique,and content.

[@mikecraig9007]

Once again---great video!!

[@dwheeler016]

Great video. Thanks

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Always loved fishing the tube

[@tonyduran4764]

Great tips thanks

[@Whiteboyz-cp3nn]

Great video!

[@rickvann3489]

Johnny that's mod # 2 that I think is obsolete now to what some of the Pros do. Call Southern Reel Outfitters and maybe Scott will show you the way he showed me, then you can do a new video and you will not have to worry about the compressing of the tube. I hate that I just learned this but I'm on here to learn and share. It is truly bass pro secret and he has a good story as how this new way to rig a tube bait came about. The neat thing too is you can use any tube even if it doesn't have the think head part. I'm fishing MR.Bass of Arkansas and met a Texas collegiate fishing friend of yours now resides in Greenbriar,AR area first name Dale great young man.

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great tip

[@2musiclover534]

Brilliant! Liked

[@buffalobob870]

I used to use those tube hooks all the time for tubes and short baits. I lost a bunch of fish...often fighting them for a few seconds to right to the boat and it was as if they just opened their mouth and let the bait go.... Extremely puzzling and frustrating....then the epiphany: on those tube hooks, Gamgatsu is one for example, the hook point is in the same plane as the keeper or close to it. This results in many fish being skin hooked in the roof of the mouth or even not popping the hook of the texposed rig. Since then, I use straight shanked or regular worm hooks as much as possible. There are a few tube hook brands and types that have the hook point offset from the keeper so those are preferred. Now I have a bunch of tube hooks not in use so likely I'll try to bend them out of plane to see if I can do that without weakening the hook while still getting positive hook bite.

[@jesseregister2435]

Love your channel. Great info. Just wondering if you ever "dip" the tentacles a little in say chartreuse or red for added color?

[@travisbruno5964]

Thanks johnnie we appreciate the content. And man your teeth look great brother you take great care of yourself. God Bless and tight lines

[@johnbankston72]

Don’t be mackin’ on Johnnie. He’s MY man. Go find your own. 💅🏼

[@shanehamilton6708]

The Trokar tube hook is the absolute best hook for a tube in my opinion, plus it’s awesome on speed craws and just about anything. I’ve tried EWG. The problem with the trokar tube hooks is they go out of stock as soon as tackle warehouse gets them. Good video

[@DavidBronstein1961]

What size of that Trokar hook do you use for 4.5” tubes like the one in this vid?

[@emiliosalinas1402]

Awesome video, quick question who sells the round / ball shaped rattles. I have had a hard time trying to find them.

[@roberts.2413]

good video, I like your channel

[@davidcrump2348]

You could also put on a glass bead between the sinker and hook and have more rattle.

[@johnmango6056]

I started using the Snell knot with my EWG’s nd fluorocarbon. Literally haven’t missed a fish yet

[@markesquivel1458]

Another fantastic video, a different perspective, is always great. Thank you. 🦈

[@mad_bass_angler5863]

Thanks for the explanation. Loved the video. I’ve never really tried tubes. This will be the first year I do.

[@Beanflip]

Do you have a rattler size preference? For the tubes in the video?

[@michaels1423]

Try a tube on Tokyo rig .. deadly., ALSO, I’ve heard some pros bend the hook out parallel to help as well. What u think?

[@jameshallfishing3377]

Yup money! I won a lot of tournaments with that rig.

[@davidrhea7619]

Would you use the same line in South Florida? Getting the fish out of the grass with floro can be tough.

[@bwilson7000]

Great video. Note 3/8 is heavier that 1/4.

[@FishtheMoment]

Haha didn't catch that. I just misspoke

[@mitchellhelms7238]

Very informative and I have a 7'9 13 defy cranking rod what is your recommended reel to use

[@FishtheMoment]

I use an abu garcia black max winch reel from walmart, but any 5.4:1 or 5.3:1 reel will work. Lower gear ratios make it easier to fish big crankbaits for extended periods of time (more torque)

[@CasualBassGuy]

Jonny, I’ve seen a lot more shallow catches in your most recent vids 😏

[@paulrudin5928]

Those are the nicest looking fingernails of any fisherman I’ve ever ever ever ever seen

[@Scottster_]

That's quite the proprietary design by Denali to have their 3/8oz tungsten weight be lighter than a 1/4oz weight.

[@FishtheMoment]

Haha didn't even hear that while editing.

[@DavidMccallister65]

What advice do you have for a guy like me that's always had a pretty girthy tube? 🤔

[@rockyj2008]

That right hand is pretty gnarled from catching fish….

[@lumpkinangler3613]

I bout the 6sense pegs and they are messing my line up even if I wet it. It freys the line

[@erk678]

Cool👍😎❤️

[@GMarshfishing]

Johnny, what do you think makes the tube get bit more than, say, a Texas rigged creature bait?

[@FishtheMoment]

No idea, honestly. It just seems like spawning bass get really fired up by a tube in particular.

[@GMarshfishing]

@@FishtheMoment nice. I haven’t thrown one much, might have to give it a try this year

[@jpoutdoors23]

What size of the rattle you have linked works best for this tube?

[@FishtheMoment]

I go with either the 10mm or 16mm size

[@DavidBronstein1961]

@@FishtheMoment your link to rattle has extra small, small, medium and large-no mm measurement. Which size in that product do you recommend?

[@paulksicinski6181]

Does pulling a fish off a spawning bed endanger the fishery?

[@gwo8th211]

your impressive and I like that you are not using 200$ reels.

[@stoneysdead689]

Imo you are one of the very few- if not the only- people on KZbin who gets the fact that the rod is far, far, far more important than the reel. Not just the rod either, almost everything we use is more important. The reel just needs to be functional- that's it, as long as it casts, retrieves, and has a decent drag- and will dial in and not backlash to a reasonable point- it's great. And you can get all of the above out of 40-50 dollar reels all day. Will they tear up sooner than a 400-dollar reel- yes, but not so soon as to be a problem. They last for a reasonable amount of time- 2-3 seasons usually. But then I've had one that lasted over 10 years- and it's still working right now- a Black Max from Walmart. So- it all works out in the end. And I have news for you- those 400$+ reels tear up to- they don't last forever. And imo they cost so much more that if they tear up even twice in your fishing career- you would've been better off buying the 50 dollar reels. I say save your money buying all those fancy reels and invest instead in really top of the line rods, line, and hooks. You'll catch more because having the proper rod/line/hook setup means you get the best action out of the baits you use and that they maintain the proper depth. You'll land more because- well, that's obvious. And you'll save in the end I think, or at least be able to invest the money you do spend more wisely.

[@Whiteboyz-cp3nn]

Johnny, do you paint your fingernails white? Or are they just that color naturally? Please tell me it’s natural. I don’t know how I feel about painting nails for any reason

[@FishtheMoment]

Haha that's how they look naturally. I've been super busy this week and didn't even notice how long they were until I was editing this video.

[@DavidMccallister65]

What keeps the rattle from coming out??

[@FishtheMoment]

The hook. The rattle fits pretty snug in the tube and the hook will stop it from falling out

[@DavidMccallister65]

@@FishtheMoment have you ever considered using one of the rattles with the plastic ring on them and then sliding that ring somewhere on the bend of the hook? Either the offset or just somewhere on the bend?
