Killer Tube Tweaks That Bag Bass!
Rarely will a seasoned or professional bass angler use a bait or lure straight out of the pack. Each has his or her own way of tweaking each to perform to their standards. In this article I will be discussing some killer tube tweaks, the following tube tweaks and tinkering will help give you the upper hand in tough bass fishing situations. Without further ado lets take a look at some killer tube tweaks that bag bass.
The Fizzling Tube Tweak
This sweet little tube tweak is one that very few bass anglers know about, yet it seems so obvious , who would have ever though? This tweak works great on inactive bass. Simply insert a piece of an Alka-Seltzer inside your tube, the fizzling action will provoke inactive bass into biting.
The Spinner Tube Tweak
The spinner tube tweak is a modification in which the skirt of a spinner bait is removed and is replaced with a tube bait, simple enough right? Most of these tweaks are, but you would be really surprised at what a difference they can make on tough bass. Try playing with different combinations of this tweak and also remember to use a dab of super glue to secure the tube. This tweak provides a great combination of flash and finesse.
Spoon And Tube Tweak
One of the main purposes of tweaking any bait is to present something to bass that they are not use to seeing. The spoon and tube tweak does just that. Bass can quickly become accustom to the flash of a spoon, so we give them something different and they love it. Take a slimline spoon of your choice and insert it in the body of a tube. Try using translucent tubes to allow some flash to shine through.
Floating Tube Tweaks
Soft plastics sink so inserting something as simple as a foam insert into your tubes will give them the buoyancy your looking for. You can also try using cork inserts, both of which hold scent superbly, which is a plus. Another option is to simply use a floating jig head.
