Shadow1 Posted October 8, 2024 Posted October 8, 2024 Hey guys, anyone know of a way to rig a smaller 2.75" tube up "stupid" style? I have experimented with tube size, and I just get bit much more on my creek and river smallies with a smaller size tube. If I rig with exposed a hook, it is almost impossible to fish some of the very rocky areas. I run a larger tube, I don't get the quality bites. Any ideas or help! Thanks much. Quote
bp_fowler Posted October 8, 2024 Posted October 8, 2024 I use the Lazer Trokar Weedless insert tube heads. The 1/8 oz. size fits 2.75 tubes well. Quote
GetFishorDieTryin Posted October 8, 2024 Posted October 8, 2024 Owner finesse ball works. There might be better options, but since I already had them for something else, I figured try them. Quote
evilcatfish Posted October 9, 2024 Posted October 9, 2024 You can get exposed hook type jigheads that have a wire weedguard on them. The guy that used to make them for me retired, but I'm sure some garage maker out there still does them Quote
ike8120 Posted October 9, 2024 Posted October 9, 2024 TW has an informative video on rigging the stupid tube. Also check out Secret Lures tube. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=stupid+tube+rigging&type=E211US105G0#id=1&vid=34e535b862f6a500c3350820890f3c3a&action=view Quote
Shadow1 Posted October 15, 2024 Author Posted October 15, 2024 Thanks for the replies/info guys. I found what I was looking for . . . "Bite Me Tackle" has stupid tube jigs that go down to a 2/0 hook size. They are built for smaller 2.75" tubes. Already sent in my order. 2 Quote
BassinBrett Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 Hey Shadow, good find. I just put in an order too after see this thread. thanks Quote
4n2t0 Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 I don't know about "stupid" but I t-rig a lot of tubes in various sizes to make them weedless. I like using a small wide gap hook with a 1/8 bullet weight for smaller tubes. Quote
