Tube Baits

I fish alot of clear water here in the north, when I fish tubes I never
fish anything heavier than 3/16 oz. I so a pro demonstrate tube fishing
and he said always go at least 1/4 oz. for more srikes. He said the fast
fall drives smallies and largemouth crazy.

Sometimes that's true, but not allways. I fish clear Michigan waters
most of the time. If your fishing dead calm water, try a white or
pearl colored tube with a 2/0 hook & no weight at all. It wil fall in
a slow spiral & can be very effictive.

when you fish the tubes on heavy weights, do you snap the bait off the
bottom in an erattic fashon?

where do you fish in MIchigan? I'm in lower s/w Michigan.

I fish in the lower s/e & a lot of lakes up near Rose City.

I take it by the "nic" Ratman you use rats type topwaters alot? If you
ever need help on this side of the state let me know.
