Can someone tell how to get to the video on rigging tube with weight in it for needless? Thx. Jmartin2766@gmail.com 

 

This is how I rig mine.

 

 

Look up on the way Bill Lowen rigs a tube it is the best way to rig a tube on a t rigg bait.

 

I don't have a video but there is a specific hook called a skip gap hook (gamagatsu) that works better than an EWG hook.  It'll hold the tube better.

@Glenn, that's a neat trick.  I was using a Shaw Grigsby hook and a basic Texas or a somewhat unconventional Carolina rig.  Does that sort of spiral as it falls like it does on a tube jighead?

OP, if you have trouble with weedless rigging using the Bill Lowen method using a standard offset hook, the Shaw Grigsby or a hook with the plastic barb close to the hook eye may help.  You do need to make sure the hook gap is wide enough or you'll miss a lot of fish.

Check out Stupid Tube and how to get it done!

Other than a stupid hook I use, my basic tube rig is on a 3/0 EWG Gammie with a 3/16 slip sinker either pegged, or un pegged depending on where it is going.  I like to be a able to move the sinker away from the tube if need be.

I've tried many different ways of rigging tubes weedless - and the biggest problem I have with them is they are weighted at the nose.  The beauty of a tube is its lazy, horiztonal swimming/spiraling/dying motion to get strikes. But if they are weighted at the nose you lose that motion and they just nose-dive to the bottom.  Best rig I've used that keeps the balance point near the center of the tube is the Owner Phantom Weighted Tube Hook:

99% of the time I Texas rig the tube.

3/0 EWG with Bell Sinkers or using the Lindy EZ Tube weights (and they come with rattles built in)
