Do the long rolls of tubing sold on amazon hold up well when rigging through the tubing (perpendicular to worm)?

Thanks for the heads up.

That makes me think I am not doing something right. My first tube ripped on my first cast. It was a hard cast but it was only one cast. I am hooking through the worm and tube. This is a worm I was a able to retrieve.

@fishwizzard yes, these are GYCB. How many fish, average, do you get with your tubing? I bought the G7 pliers for their tubing but I could use it with any tubing. Not impressed with G7.

Finally had a tube last more than a fish, just one. Inspected it afterwards and it looked fine. Next cast it flew off. Lost another worm after my next fish but I was able to retrieve the worm. The tube tore between the two holes created by the hook point. I am using the 7mm for 5 inch senkos wacky style.

I just started trying these. So far both tubes broke within a few hard casts. I might have stretched them too much with the pliers. Hook was inserted through worm as well. Anyone else try these?

I use Arcteryx for Jackets. I like the Alpha SV and Rush. I don’t like their pants and bibs. Keep in mind there are different types of Gore and thicknesses and these things will influence performance.

I thought the TD Minnows were only available until supplies last. I considered these before, thanks.

@primetime will check them out, thanks.

3-4 feet is too deep. I use these over grass flats and also use very shallow runners in very clear water too. Looks like a nice bait otherwise.

I am running low on these discontinued baits. Have not been able to find an alternative. I use the flashminnow 110s but they are too big at times. I am looking for something smaller, in the sub 4 inch range, that suspends only 1-2 feet. No floaters. Any ideas?

I thought it was the CC Spot before the Super Spot.

Looking to try this and Gamma. Been using Yozuri Hybrid for years but past few spools have been less manageable.

Over the years I caught hundreds of bass out of this small pond and not one was 3 lbs except this 6 on a Gambler swing blade.

Mid 50s is usually when I see it start. I have caught fish around 50 but not with a lot of consistently. Some of the shallow coves off the main lake that get sun might be a few degrees warmer right now. Also, it’s not just the water temp right now but the direction it’s going the past few days.

Keitech Shad impact comes in a 4 inch goby color. Color won’t be exact and they don’t cast as well as the D Shads but they are very good.

Thanks

Let me know if you like them, thanks.

Anyone try these?

I have used many brands 1/4 - 1/2. They have become very popular and there are lots of good choices. The ones you mentioned from Dirty Jigs are good as well. I just secure the skirts with braid. I mainly use Keitechs or single tail grubs. GLX MBR 843 and 842 if I am using a finesse jig with smaller hook.

I strongly believe color does matter at times and sometimes it’s just a confidence thing. It’s just one variable and sometimes people overemphasize it to their detriment. I do carry several colors with certain baits and have seen it pay off.

I remember it the same way. Lucky Craft raised the threshold of what people would spend for a bait and that helped other companies, like Megabass, which pushed the limit higher. The weight transfer systems, the colors (I believe the original ghost minnow but many other innovative colors), the quality stock hooks and hardware made them different.
