These are also the softest tubes I think I have ever fished. Any colors to look forward to in the future? If I could get a blue/green and a falcon lake color, I would probably switch every tube I have over to these.

Anyone have a site to get #5 Lucky Craft Trebels or a quality replacement in the same weight? I have been grabbing up pointer 100's and their site has the hook size listed as #5. I found one pack on fleabay but that's about it.

I read somewhere, where purple is the last color to disappear in dirty water.

One thing about these Megastrike Tubes is they are very soft and collapse easy. I say soft, but they're very durable if that makes sense.

Just started the download on my iPhone 4. I'm going to wait for my ipad. What are the benefits for it?

Agreed. I feel stupid for not trying them out sooner.

Short stick for pitching jigs 3/4 oz or under. Texas Rigs 3/4 oz or under. Spinnerbaits 3/4 oz or under. Heavier Top Water stuff. Basically anything under 1 oz except treble hooked baits, light stuff under 1/4 oz or baits in really nasty cover. You kinda have the service truck of rods. The shorter length can give you more accuracy and is easier to use when shore bound in the sticks.

What'd ya get lol

That is my plan of attack tomorrow morning! Smash Tubes, Megastrike Craws and Megastrike 1/4oz Shakey heads.

I have teams I like due to their coaches or the programs (NCAA) that I follow and will bet on, but my loyalty stays with my Jayhawks. We have won just a few games in the last 4 years but my flags still fly

I just checked on the date again. My son is having tubes put in his ears on the 15th and will be taking him back here for a few day. Sorry. The next one, I'm game and will pay for someone's fuel!

Good report! I'm headed to Hefner tomorrow am. I plan on hitting the d**n first then when the wind picks up, I am going to move inward. My boat is too small for Hefner so I'm going shore bound

I hope so too. Weather is nice and forecasted no wind and 88 degrees tomorrow

The first 1/2" from the head down is solid but the rest is hollow. The gap for the hook point is hollow and very easy to rig.

Agreed. I can't say that it makes me get more strikes, but I can say that it makes the bass hold onto the bait a few seconds longer. When jig fishing that is the difference between a fish and not a fish. I've done tests with and without and can prove to myself it works. Plus it will cover your human scent too.

Try this video. It will explain a lot on how to do it.

I'm going to have to say Bo Jackson. Mainly I know more about him as he was at the top of his game during my time of playing ball. He was cut short way to early so we may have really not know his true potential. Plus he hunts, fishes and shoots Archery

The attractant can be found at their website or at tackle warehouse that I know of

I'd get a big pair of hemostats and keep them on you. It happens. You can always flatten the barbs on the hooks. That will make it easier to pull out. I've never gut hooked that many in the same setting, but logic would say whatever you're doing, keep it up!

Thanks

Will do. I will be headed out Wednesday and Thursday Mornings to work them. Temp has been dropping and we got a bunch of rain today. I can't speak for any other shakey head jigs, but these are really cool. They fall perfect everytime in my sink. I laid them flat with the tube and they go back to a defensive position each time.

I'd kill to get into a mess of Smallies. It's been at least 20 years since dad and I caught them on Lake Wilson I've been fishing tubes for several years and never even thought about using a shakey head until Roadwarrior and Bobby suggested it. Next to jigs they are my favorite bait. I've found a whole new way to fish them now

Can't say without this getting shut down lol

My order showed up today. All I can say is wow! Tentacles on the tubes were well cut, equal length and have tons of action. The body is very well built too. Exceeded my expectations This is my first time to use a Shakey head jig. These are amazing. Strong hooks and super sharp. I love how the hook point is recessed down to make it easier to texpose the hook. I'm going to enjoy these next days off. I'm going to give the new 733 a work out!m Thanks for the recommendation guys!

Good to hear!
