Stupid Tube Jig..is.... Not stupid! LOL

I'm making a round head mold to pour 28* EWG jig hooks in various weights. 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz and 3/0 Mustad Ultra Point hooks. The round head makes rigging them much eaier. This hook makes for a more forward line tie and less weed catching.

So far I'm really happy with them.. I'm excited to use them soon.  :)

WAIT you don't make those too!?!?!

21XDC

I tried my hands at plastic once years ago....  :o  Not for me... So I make everything else and trade with those that make custom plastic.  I buy very little from the normal places.... I'm not normal.  :P

I've heard that... ;D

Funny that someone brought up the 'stupid' rig Thursday or Friday so we had to borrow a tube from the neighbors along with a jighead to rig one up to show people. Had it sitting on the table the rest of the show. I admit we had to ask one of the college anglers to rig it for us because I couldn't remember what the heck the 'stupid' rig was... ::)

Your jigheads look pretty darn good for that rig. Not sure if and when I will ever try it myself.

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 gave some to as friend that fish's the hot pond with me all winter. He fished these with 100% hook up ratio. And 100% no snags.... He is now a believer too.  :)

The slider baits above wont rig right on the stupid tube head. They have 3/8-1/2in of solid body where the lead goes.  :-\'

Just tool yourself a mini melon scooper and scoop that solid part out of there... Something like that.

I've actually wondered how I would handle similar with the few tubes I own that have a solid head.

I think Lake Fork Tackle makes a craw tube that might work.

They look pretty good, I just need to know if it's hollow all the way to the head. I like all their color options too. http://www.lftlures.com/catalog/lft-craw-tube

My new mold has the eye closer to the lead, Has 4 better size choices.

We caught over 180 bass today using these stupid tube jigs.... Biggest was 4.3lbs. My arms are sore...... Going again tomorrow.  :)

Yes... Secret Lures sells the "Stupid Tube Jig"  Glad you watched the videos.
