Best Tube Fishing Line

Dragging tubes on the backside of humps in 12-25 feet of water.

Tossing at a swimming dock 7-8ft water, early morning. He nailed it mid-crack. Fat Coffee tubes are my go-to when they're being picky about eating. Used a 7'1" M-Fast spinning rod.

Rock to sand transitions on secondary points. Dragging tubes. Very jig weight based on depth and wind.

Greg Thomas reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Lake St Clair. Additional comments from this report: "Found some great Fish at the Windmill point sea wall. I was targeting the vegetation in 10ft of water at the current seam. The water is crystal clear so the pumpkin color stands out like a craw in the spring. The tube has a great spiral motion on the fall. I used aggressive hops to tick the top of the grass. The fish were smashing it on the fall. Great bait to create a reaction strike. "

Riley Bowen reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Lake St Clair. Additional comments from this report: "Fish are moving from the rivers to the mile roads in heavy schools. Tried a few techniques but the best one for numbers seemed to be super slow dragging an x-tube over rock patches and piles. If its windy throw a 1/2 oz, if it's calm use a 3/8 or you'll get hung up too much. Theres lots of zebra mussels so don't be surprised if you have to upgrade to 12 or 15 pound fluoro. The fish are super easy right now and haven't seen many baits all winter. We caught 22 pounds like it was nothing.. "

Tom Smith reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Tubes technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Conesus Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Tough morning after 4 warm days a cold front came through which brought rain and high winds. Large mouth were cruising up shallow in 2-5 ft of water. Weren’t interested in much. Got the Lm pictured on a tube next to a dock, in clearing in the submerged veg. Also got a decent pickerel on a jig. "

Fish were feeding up on bottom baits especially tubes on rock

Bob Downey reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Fence Lake . Additional comments from this report: "Fishing a tube in the summer is a staple for Smallmouth. I like to fish it in the 5-20ft range in places that have a mix of bottom composition - a sand, rock and weed mix is best. You can drift with a tube, cast and drag or cast and aggressively hop it back (cracking a tube). Smallmouth are generally active in the summer - keep moving until you start to run into them. When you can one slow way down as there are usually more than one in an area. "
