10 VMC Red Inline Treble Hooks ~ #2

X-Strong round bend treble. Most all treble hooks have one point or tine canted into a lure's or crankbait's belly. Most trebles are unbalnced as they swing, and that constantly arcs that in-turned tine across the belly and sides of a bait, causing semi-circular hook scrape marks, unbalancing the lure's action slightly toward one side, and that in-turned tine s not in position to hook a fish either.

On the other hand, the VMC Inline treble is one of the few trebles that turns all three points out away from the lure's belly, where they won't leave nasty swing marks and each point is outward for a better hooking chance. Also, the hook itself is perfectly balanced, so the hook can help a lure achieve better swimming action.

3/4 oz Jigging Spoon ~ #2 VMC Red X-Strong Treble

These chrome-plated spoons have a whiter flash than nickel-plating. Oversized x-strong stainless steel split ring and stainless steel Duolock snap is everything you need to go spooning.

Where bass or bait aren't really showing up on the meter, I tend to use the 3/4 oz size more to prospect blindly, bouncing bottom on rough patches, cover or structure. When bait or bass activity can be graphed above bottom, the 1/2 oz size falls a bit slower through mid-water, fluttering side-to-side like a falling shad.

PRO MODEL TAPERED TUBE JIG. These are the best tube jig heads ever made by master jig modeler, Joe Rummelt. Now, Joe really does not know the reason why this Pro Model Tapered Tube Jig works so swell, but it does. Joe's customers who drag tubes on the Great Lakes and all across northern states, they tell Joe they've caught far more bass on this Pro Model Tapered Tube Jig compared to the several dozen other tube jig models Joe has made. Joe's the first to acknowledge, based on customer feedback, that the Pro Model tapered Tube Jig is truly a great tube jig in a class by itself. That's not to say Joe's other tube jigs aren't good, they are. But bottom line, there's just something about Joe's Pro Model Tapered Tube Jig that bass love best.

Gamakatsu Hooks. Wide gap round bend hook.

Two ways to rig are:

1. Starting Untied: To rig untied, start from the back. Simply insert the tube jig head-first into the hollow back of a tube. Push forward and pop the hook eye out through the tube skin at the head of the tube. Then tie the line on.
    
2. Starting Tied: With the jig already tied on your line, start from the front of the tube. A new tube can be "speed rigged" by inserting the hook point in a new tube's head (where you want the line tie eye to end up). Then thread the tube all the way up and over the hook and continue to insert the entire jig head, until only the line tie eye sits outside the tube. The insertion hole will be a little larger this way, but the tube will not fish any different, and the tube really won't pull down off the hook easily either.
