I've been reading around alot lately and most of you guys seem to use tubes a whole lot.  I never used tubes before, so i just bought a pack of 10 zoom green pumpkin black flake tubes at wal-mart.  I really want some opinions on how I could work these guys really well this year!

rig them on a ball jig and fish them similar to other soft plastics

when i bought my first tubes i found long shank straight hooks and fished them wightless with an exposed hook, worked great, caught tons of little bass and a few nice ones, built my confidence in these lures by a long shot,

now i catch the nicer bass by Texas rigging the bait and slowly hopping and crawliong it across bottom, once you find a good looking spot, slow down and shake that tube in place like a shakey head!!
