Kevin Langlands reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and St. Croix Victory Casting Rods on Black Lake (MI). Additional comments from this report: "Hard to beat dragging a stupid tube through sparse grass mixed with rocks. The smallmouth are feeding heavily on crawfish if about 7-12 FOW."

Reported by
LakeDelavanKid
Pool 7 Lake Onalaska (WI)
LakeDelavanKid reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Tubes technique and St. Croix Victory Casting Rods on Pool 7 Lake Onalaska. Additional comments from this report: "Fished last weekend for the mlf college series event and struggled with no sunlight. Both large mouth and smallmouth are sitting on laydowns(Fallen trees) throughout 7-8-9. I had a lot of luck throwing a 4' inch tube and current dictated if I went with a 3/8th or 1/2 oz tungsten flipping weight. The key to this strategy is to not peg the weight and let the tube do the work !"
Lew's Signature Series Spinning Rods
$189.99

Reported by
Ndenig
Lake Skegemog (MI)
Ndenig reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and Lew's Signature Series Spinning Rods on Lake Skegemog. Additional comments from this report: "West Michigan Bass tournament on the Traverse City area circuit. Bass are a little skiddish on the beds but with patience you could get then to bite. Cracking a tube in 12 to 15 FOW is also a great technique virtually all season."

Reported by
Ryan Hartman
Lake Erie
Ryan Hartman reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and Lew's Signature Series Spinning Rods on Lake Erie. Additional comments from this report: "We've been targeting deep, isolated boulders away from the pack. Most boats are fishing shallower while we're fishing deep. Water temps are in the mid to high 40's and we've been able to capitalize on the deep fish starting to come up. We've used three main baits or techniques to find and locate big smallmouth on Lake Erie. Utilizing moving baits like the Strike King Rage Swimmer have allowed us to find their hiding place and drop on them with a tube or dropshot. Don't be afraid of the outer realm, they're home and the bite is hot."

Michael Rekas reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and St. Croix Victory Spinning Rods on Pool 1 Mississippi. Additional comments from this report: "Fishing the river this weekend was tough, smallmouth were not reacting to moving baits like they have been which forced me to slow down. Once I switched over to a free rig, bites became much more frequent. On the retrieve, I slowly dragged the free rig allowing the weight to fully contact the bottom. The current and small hops with the rod gave the tube plenty of natural action. Good Luck!!"
