[#0000FF]I use a size 4 for 1 1/2" tubes...and size 2 for 2" tubes.
The purpose of the hot melt glue is to provide a stop to keep the tube from sliding down over the hook. So just wrapping on a turn or two of chenille just below the hook eye will accomplish the same thing.
A good hook to use for making these weightless tube rigs is the Eagle Claw 202. It is a sharp, light wire hook especially designed for fishing crappies with minnows. The ring eye is ideal for pushing up through the plastic tubes and fishing dropshot.
