Hurricane 6" tubes ?
Anyone try those Hurricane 6" saltwater tubes yet ? They look like a small squid and I've seen them in white and white/brown.
With a little bit of color, visions of squid and small lobster imitations are on my mind.
Any suggestions ?

Tatoo:
Sorry, I don't but let me see if I can find a link or something. Basically, they look like a large version of those crappie/bluegill tubes you see in Cabelas and Bass Pro Magazine. Looks like hurricane, makes a 6" saltwater version-and I think they will have possibilities.

Eben:
good one !
Who knows, but I'll be fishing them "low and slow" this year.
I've already rigged one with a pink sluggo down the middle and the others with long hackles.
Gotta love experimenting !

I stumbled across those myself a few months ago. I rigged a couple for battle - they look really promising. If a tube looks like a crayfish to a smallmouth, I don't know why these wouldn't look like a lobster to a striper.

Yep, when I look at these things, I ask myself if these could be the next generation of soft baits. I can't wait to find out.

Forget which mag this was in... but read an article a year or two back about trolling these babies deep around the Chesepeake for big bass. Those tiger tubes do look expensive. I don't have them but I wonder how durable the plastic is.

Salt Water Spotsman. They were fishing them on the bottom in around 80 feet of water. They rigged them up with double tubes. 16 oz weights shoved inside the bottom tube on the bottom of the rig and another above unweighted with a pvc tube put inside, snug fit with a hook out the rear. Weight like the one in the photo. They fit perfectly into the tube. I got the weights from the tackle shop in Virginia that the article was about. I have not found any tubes this big, they are 8", other than Lindy. Plenty of tubes to 4 inch but no luck on any bigger. I seemed to have misplaced the article  I will keep looking. Paul

I found the article. They actually use up to 24 oz jigs.  I 'd hate to be jigging that. They also fish these in 40 to 60 foot depths. Obviously from a drifting boat. P. |

Yup that is the article. Anyone able to comment about the durability of the plastic? Here is a good trick lots of the freshie bass fishermen use... slide a piece of sponge up the hook shank, soak in your fave scent, hide in the tube body.

the article is really good. I don't fish the freshwater that much, but when I do, I only use tubes because Al Linder told me on his show that they are the best overall bass bait, then he told me to praise the lord, which I did after I caught a 4-5 pounder on one.
I am definitely going to try the tubes on stripers this year.

I plan on trolling this year with weighted keels, which I bought through Pat Renna. Will these stay down if i fish them off the keels and just insert the PVC pipe?

March 2004 Saltwater Sportsman. They are made more for drifting than trolling although I would think they would work. They are using a lot of weight, 16 to 24 oz jigs, and fishing 40 to 60 foot depth's. Good luck and let me know how you do. Paul

I might try trolling a molded squid as well rigged similarly. I bet that would work well in May.

I am looking every where for those.
