Could you guys point me in the right direction on what type/size of hooks/jig heads to use for 3 1/2" tubes.  I would like to be able to rig them in a texas rig style along with an exposed hook with a jig head.  Much appreciated guys.

Have a good one...

As far as Texas rigging, I use a 3/0 extra-wide-gap with a 3 1/2" thin-walled tube. With jigheads, I use the internal heads with a hook size that seems right for the bait. I don't know offhand exactly what it is, but the hook size is probably close to 2/0.

This thread should answer your question:

Thank you very much guys.  Much appreciated...

1/8" Jig head with a Wire weedguard and a GOOD hook works great.  I've bought some from Hawghead baits.  Good stuff
