Hi All,I have caught my two biggest bass on this Magnum Flippin Tube- a 7.6 and a 6.11 in the same day! Anyway, I've been using a 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG Hook and while it works, it seems like the hook barely fits length wise. Forget about trying to use a 4/0! I'm wondering how ya'll are rigging it for a Texposed and Texas Rigged presentation for flippin/pitchin into trees. Please advise on recommended hook style application. Thanks!

Answers
A:
I use the exact same hook you do man, 3/0 Gamakatsu. I always "TexSpose" it. I have to use all of the bait, I mean when I put the hook back in through the bait I'm at the end of the plastic body where the skirt starts, and the hook goes through the body just barely. I then proceed with the texas rig, then tuck the hook back in to the plastic a little bit.
A:
I You can use a straight shank 2/0 or 3/0 hook;like an Owner .Answers
A:
Easy what color plastics do you use normally. If casting for distance I would recommend a 1/4 ounce Jig Head. Conditions may very down their.

A:
I would go with some of the crustacian colors that the Keys provide. I'm not sure what colors the shrimp or crabs are down there, but that would be a start. When it comes to the Ocean, I would go with bright colors, with a dark contrast. like a light green body with brown or black tentacles.

Want to know if can use hollow body for weights.Answers
A:
Yes, these flipping tubes are hollow, and weighted hooks, or tube weights fit just fine inside of them.A:
Flippin tubes are usually hollow below the head;about one half inch.One way to rig them is with a bullrt weigh in line tied to a suitable hook.A:
the tubes are hollowA:
noA:
Yes the tubes are hollow. You may use them with a tube jig(weight and hook) which is placed inside the tube or you can rig it "Texas" style with a worm weight and hook.A:
The tubes are hollow. I use Northland rattlin inner tube jigs in these.Answers
A:
I don't have much expierience with Flippen tubes ; but some good colors for clear to stained water aregreen pumkin,Melon pepper,Smoke with red flakeBlackneon or red flake. Good luck!!!
A:
roadkill, anything with green pumpkin in it. i i don't use jig heads with them. i rig it with a wide gap worm hook and use a 1/8 or 1/4 ounce sliding bullet sinker.A:
Any of the goby colors work for most situations I am faced with as long as they have a slight purple color to them. I prefer to fish them on a 1/4 to 1/2 oz. exposed jig head as I am mostly fishing the bottom from 2 feet to over 40 feet deep.A:
I use only crayfish in the spring and then white or shad in the summer to match the hatch. You cannot go wrong with the jig heads offered by Bass Pro Shops. I use as light a head as I can get away with. You catch more fish with lighter lures.A:
White and the green pumpkin have worked really well for me.A:
Watermelon/ red, watermelon/ purple/ gold flake. White or pearl, Black/w red flake and a chartruese tail. Watermelon. Pumpkin seed/ chartruese.I do not use a jig head. I use a True Tungstun weight 3/16 to 3/4oz. on a Gamakgatsu skipping hook. The bait bait will be locked into place on the hook and won't slip down and I peg the tungstun weight with a True Tungstun rubber peg.
Answers
A:
Absolutely, just make sure you are using a heavy weight, like a 1 ounce bullet weight to punch through the weed mat. I like fishing tubes or brush hogs in weedy cover.A:
Yes you can; Texpose about a3/0 straight shank hook[Owner] possibly!,with a 1/2 oz. to a onne oz. bullet weight on the front of the tube.You can also use a 7 in. to 10 in, or bigger worm riggrd the same as the tube ;but you might also want to try a worm hook from stout 3/0 to 5/0 in heavy cover. Good luck!!A:
I use a 4/0 Gamakatsu EWG Superline hook, 3/8oz tunsten flippin weight(pegged), and 20lb BPS flourocarbon. I pitch that on a 7'10" Falcon Cara. No problems pulling in LMB's with that rig.A:
Yes they will work fine for heavy and thick weeds, but you may need heavier weights to get it through the mat. In super thick stuff I use a short grub rigged Texas style, or a pig and jig with a good fiber weed guard. Make sure you trim your weed guard, and spread the fibers out to further protect your hook.A:
You can fish these in heavey cover if you Texas Rig the tube. I use a spinner bait in thick weedy cover.A:
Yes, tubes are an excellent choice especially for heavy cover brush grass or combination of. The tube is a compact lure and very aerodynamic in that with it's compact size and being pegged you have great control for precision flipping and casting. The tube is one of the most versitale baits on the market and the Bass Pro Flipping tube comes in a great array of colors for the what ever water clarity condition you may encounter. And do not hesitate to use a braid in a 50 to 65 pound range with the tube. to get those heads out of that thick cover. I like to flip into brush and try to hang the line over a limb or twig and work the bait with a vertical presentation, 3 or 4 up/down motions of the rod tip from about 10 to 12 o'clock postion and then reel it in and flip to your next spot and repeat and a foot or 2 can make the difference in getting a bite. So work the brush pile over good and don't hesitate to go back into a spot 2 or 3 times before moving on. You may just agitate one into biting after going in there a third time.
