Here's a new video I just posted that shows how to Texas rig a tube bait.

Enjoy!

Interesting....have used an EWG for years...may have to try that newer one

Tks

What is the hook called, did Glenn say?

Looks like a Trokar tube hook to me.

Trokar tube hook for sure.

Eagle Claw makes a tube hook too - Shaw Grigsby HP hook.  It has a clip to lock the bait on the hook.

Yup, Trokar hook.  I use them for flipping, pitching.  I use the Eagle Claw HP hooks for finesse fishing.

What size Trokar tube hook do you guys use for 3.5" tubes?

I picked up some 2/0 trokar tube hooks about a week and and they fit the strike king 3.5" coffee tubes well. Cant confirm the exact fitments for the larger sizes but would imagine a 3/0 would work as well and a 4/0 may be a bit much for the 3.5" strike kings.

I'll have to try that.  I tossed a tube with a tube jug head inside of it, into some pads on Saturday and came up with a nice bass on the first cast.  But it wasn't weedless and I got hung up pretty bad too.
