Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

I'm not sure if I will ever use the 2oz models...   But I have them if I want too...  I like that the 4/0 hook still leaves a good bite even on the 2oz head. Pics of the 3 1/2 inchtubes have the heads inside. Many thought that they would not fit.

.  Could have used the 2 oz last week when I was above the Blue Water Bridge in Lake Huron drifting in 45 feet of water. 

Is that Lead of Gold you use for weight.

White gold... These would make a good technique for ledge fishing...  I sell them to wealthy guys like you...

You'll have to try out those 2 ouncers and let us know how well they hook up??

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

I'm going to get some 5/0 and 6/0 hooks for these...  I like the Owner hooks and they are sharp.... But expensive.

That might work better for 2 ounce tube heads. Hopefully you're catching big ole bass with big ole mouths!

No worries... I have been catching smallies on these heavy heads just fine with 4/0 hooks. I think a little bigger will only help. I have others using and catching with them as well. Some are requesting a 6/0. LOL.. I changed the mold some by moving the line tie eye back to center/neutral balance because I didn't like the way the tube was tracking. I'm kinda picky. LOL..

Have you actually used the 2 oz heads fishing??
