SHOW DESCRIPTION

It’s all in the action, and what lure shimmy’s better than a pliable straw-like tube. These hard-fishing, nearly indestructible, action-packed lures have been around for over fifty-years, but have fallen out of fashion a little, but they catch fish. If you haven’t tied on a tube, it’s time you have.

These lures can be used from Maine to the Keys, from the surf to the flats to the bays. Plus, they’re versatile. Not only does their action imitate the movements of those wormy wily critters that fish lover to eat, but you can stuff them with bait chunks giving them even more lure power.

Don’t miss this week’s show where Mike Conner uses tubes for stripers and blues in the Northeast and then we head way south to the Bahamas where editor Jeff Weakley tangles with the K-9’s of the sea, Barracuda.
