Rigging Suggestions for Tube Swim Bait


Hidden Head Rigging

Jig heads with a lead head that slips inside the hollow cavity of the lure are popular for tube type baits.  The head molded below is from a Do-It jig mold.  Model Tube TX: Stock Number 473219.  The hook we used was a Mustad 32786 BLN.  If you want to make this type of rig weedless, attach a stainless snap on coil to the eye of the jig head and use a small piece of plastic worm to make it weedless.  In the picture below we used a small section of a Split Tail Trailer to make it weedless.  This arrangement works very well in heavy  cover and can be used on nearly any jig head.

Make your own weighted hook rig.  This is simple and it works. 
We used a Mustad 91768 style hook and  a snap on stainless coil.
We added an ordinary ear sinker for the weight.
