Uppladdning inför kvällens övningar pågår eller?

Har nu testat Tiger tube och den var väl inte min grej direkt. Kändes rätt stel och böljade inte som jag trodde den skulle göra. Mer liv i en Flying Lure. En stel kådis monterad över ett jigghuvud med lite klippta fransar längst bak skulle göra jobbet lika bra...skämtåsido, hur fiskar man den?

"Big tube baits, such as the Tiger Tube, can be fished along the deep weedlines to trigger the big fish. Toss them over the weeds while reeling quickly, then slow down on the outside edges. This allows the Tiger Tube to fall slowly on the deep-water edges of the weeds, and then the key is to slowly work the Tube on the bottom. In addition, be sure to toss a Tiger Tube back to a following pike. Big pike just can't stand the tantalizing tentacles of a Tiger Tube. "

"Fish the Tiger Tube fast, slow, near the surface, vertical or as a search lure for pulling big fish from cover such as docks, weeds, wood, or rocks. Count it down to trigger suspended fish, or quickly toss it back at a big fish that just followed in another lure. There are no rules to fishing this killer bait, just your imagination!
"

"It works for a couple of reasons. First of all, it’s not uncommon for a big fish to eat something that large when it’s on the prowl. Second, it’s something different that most fish have never seen before."

"Another feature Petros likes about big tubes is their versatility. He can jig it down a deep drop-off, rip it through schools of suspended baitfish, inch it along a weed edge or work it over the top of thick vegetation."

"The eye-tie comes out about a quarter-inch in front of the lure. If you push the eye back farther, you can get more side-to-side or walk-the-dog type action out of it,” he notes. “You want to hold the rod parallel to the water and keep reeling. Reel and pop, reel and pop."

"Another thing I do is put Berkley Power Attractant or Jelly on the back end of the Tiger Tube to prevent the tentacles from wrapping. You can also take the hook out and put a rattle chamber on it like you would attach to a flipping jig for a little extra noise."

.."let it go all the way to the bottom... and shake it to give the appearance of dying bait."

"He uses a pumping action imparted by his whole arm, not his wrist. Cast, keep the rod tip low and take up slack. Then lift your arm to the 10 o'clock position; drop it again and reel in slack."

"Also, another tip is to watch for balls of baitfish on the sonar screen. If they are suspended, for example, at 30 feet over 50 feet of water, cast beyond the school, count the bait down and rip the tube through the baitfish. You're likely to injure shad as you do, and struggling, injured forage will ignite a feeding frenzy, he said. The beauty is that if you miss a strike merely let the tube fall again. Fish will hit it time and again trying to nab dinner."

Den får nog lite tid till efter dessa tips.

Efter att ha läst tipsen och moddat tuben funkade den finfint. Plockade 4 pikes på den igår eftermiddag med en rätt aggressiv jerkstil, och ja, de tar igen om de bommar. Tog en timme att elda ihop skalet när jag kom hem. Hyfsat söndertuggad.
