Tube Jigs? - another_angler - 03-03-2010 What are your favorite tube jigs to use while crappie fishing? Let me know what colors you like in specific conditions, or just in general. For me, I tend to use three general colors in plastic tube baits for crappie. Both are made by Southern Pro Tackle, distributed by retailers near you. A color map is here: [url "http://www.southernpro.com/LH.cfm "]http://www.southernpro.com/LH.cfm [/url] My favorites are the: LH38 Pumpkin Pepper/Chart.- [url "http://www.southernpro.com/LH.cfm"][/url] and LH33 Red/Chart. Sparkle - and LH03 Black/Chart. - [url "http://www.southernpro.com/LH.cfm"][/url] I get the 1" and 1.5" sizes, and couple them with 1/32oz horse head jigs with red hooks. Let me know some of your best tube jigs [signature] Re: [another_angler] Tube Jigs? - idahopanfish - 03-04-2010 So how are you involved with these tubes? [signature] Re: [another_angler] Tube Jigs? - another_angler - 03-04-2010 Well, I fish with them. And honestly, quite a bit. I don't know if your question was in relation to spamming their links on this site (I think in two posts) - I just like their product. If you really wanted to know though, I'm starting a site right now that sells tubes through Bass Pro, and I collect a sweet commission. I was planning on people populating this thread with great content realted to "tubes"... not to mention possible pick up a color or two to give a shot at. After that, I guess somewhere along the line put a link to my "tubes" site somewhere in a signature. Seeing as how this post would get a little link juice for the term. Hope it hasn't been ruined by the "affiliation" you've found between me and some awesome tubes. [signature] Re: [another_angler] Tube Jigs? - idahopanfish - 03-05-2010 Interesting reply. Well I had the best result the other day with all white and all yellow, but like a lemon moraign and red and white. I have tried putting some cotton in the tube and squeezing some scent on it. So now that you've expressed your direction with starting this post we'll see where it goes. [signature] Re: [idahopanfish] Tube Jigs? - another_angler - 03-05-2010 I've never thought about the cotton in the tube, nor have I used scents on tubes fishing for crappie. Care to share specifics? I'm really interested in the cotton. [signature] Re: [another_angler] Tube Jigs? - idahopanfish - 03-05-2010 I tie on a weighted ig on the bottom and a drop shot hook above the slip a tube over the drop shot hook and stuff some cotton from a cotton ball in the tube and have used anise scent but any would work to soak the cotton. [signature] Re: [another_angler] Tube Jigs? - cklvr - 03-06-2010 I use the same general setup as far as size and jig weight, but if crappie fishing, I usually put them under a bobber. For color, I use light and dark blue, bubblegum pink and black and chartreuse. Seems to work well here in PA. I like the idea with the cotton, gonna have to try that.

I rig two of them about a foot apart with a clear float on slightly windy days and play around until I find their depth.[/size][/#000000][/font] [inline CST08.jpg] Hot Pink and pearl tube jig. [signature] Re: [bytebull] Tube Jigs? - another_angler - 03-08-2010 I learned how to fish for crappie on Lake Charles in northeastern Arkansas. My grandfather lives out that way. It is safe to say everything I know about jigging for crappie came from him. [signature] Re: [another_angler] Tube Jigs? - idahopanfish - 03-09-2010 Now do you find that jig olor will be diferent from one body o water to the next? [signature] Re: [idahopanfish] Tube Jigs? - bytebull - 03-09-2010 [quote idahopanfish]Now do you find that jig olor will be diferent from one body o water to the next?[/quote] Sometimes my favorite spot is fickle on color so I just rig two poles. One has 3 different colors about 18 inches apart under a clear float and the other has 3 different colors 18 inches apart. I start shallow and add about 1 foot of depth every 5 minutes until I get a bite. Then then keep trying to make sure that is the color they want that day. If I get another on the same color that depth then I start wearing them out. As I stated above though, I usually catch more on that Pink/Pearl tube than any other color here in North East Arkansas in Poinsett county.
