RW likes big tubes. Well here's a big arse tube.

I bought some Saturday from BPS, but they don't have them on their website. The above link shows only the 6" size. They also make an 8" size. That's what I bought. Black/blue, watermelon and smoke were the colors BPS had. Got one pack of each to try. Wish now that I'd bought more while I was there.

Tried them out yesterday with excellent results. About half the strikes I got, I missed and the bait was pulled down the hook. I'm assuming some smaller fish had it by the tail when I set the hook. The bass I caught on this bait were all good ones; 2 lbs plus. The largest was 4 1/2 pounds. Most of the fish I caught on a T-rig; 5/0 EWG hook and 1/4oz weight. The biggest one I got weightless on top of the snot weed and duck weed. I was throwing the bait to the edge of the gunk and letting it drop as straight as I could. I missed a couple of times, throwing right into the snot. One one errant cast a big bass blew up on it as I twitched the bait out of the slop. Being able to take a hint, I rigged another Doozee on my Senko rod and threw right back into the same place. He hit it again on the second twitch. Caught two more nice ones, and missed two more blow ups, doing that.

Time will tell if this will be a truly productive bait, but it looks good after one trip. When trying out a new bait, a nice fat two pounder on the second cast does inspire confidence. Check "em out.

Cheers,

Wow!

That's a pretty good outing and with a new bait to boot!

Fine Fishing and an interesting bait!

But here are some even bigger tubes.  Threw them a few times with no bites.

I'm pretty sure you have to be 21 to get into a store that sells those...
