Tube Bait
ExpertIntermediateFreshwater
A hollow, skirted soft plastic body rigged on an internal jig head, its tentacled skirt pulsing and flaring on the fall in a way few other soft plastics replicate. A specialist's finesse tool for smallmouth and pressured fish that shy away from bulkier presentations.

Technique tips
- Let it fall on a semi-slack line and watch the line for a twitch — most strikes come on the fall, not the retrieve.
- Insert the jig head so the hook rides point-up inside the skirt for better snag resistance around rock.
- It's a smallmouth specialist around rock, gravel, and boulder structure — few other baits match its fall action there.
