Giant Tora Gitzits in 6,8 and 10" sizes.
Not savvy on the worms, unfortunately. I've fished leeches a couple of times and we just impaled them in the middle.I think you thread them on right through the head of the tube and then hang the tube over the ridge in the lead. At first I had the head of the jig up the inside of the tube and it was even worse. When there's still air in the tube it holds pretty good.I'm referring to this jig head. http://www.canyon-plastics.com/Giant-Tora-Tube-Heads-p/363.htm
Hey drifter, I bought a number of these in the 5" size, and a few of the huge ones, and I've been having a hell of a time getting the big ones to hang horizontal in the water. The rubber doesn't seem to be neutral, so it needs the jig to be right near the middle of the body, leaving 3" of 'nose' which looks pretty darn weird. How have you been rigging them?
I don't worry about them hanging horizontal and just rig them like you normally would.I do make stinger hook rigs for the 10" ones though.I think my max size weight of head I'm using is 1 1/2 oz.I have an 8" still rigged on one of my open water rods, I'll take a pic tonight.
the lakes we fish you can only have a single hook....having the stinger further back would help out alot on them short strikes. I have thought about trying to make a lead head that is like an articulated fly where you have a couple inches of leader come off the lead head shank and then attach to a hook which would sit closer to the back of the tube jig.
That would be awesome! You should make it and patent it! I'll be your #1 customer!
I made a prototype last night.I used a #0 ss eyelet for the line tie eyelet and some 175# ss 7x7 49strand cable coming out where the hook normally would. Now a hook can be crimped on wherever you want.If we had tapatalk here is post a picture.I'll have to upload it to photobucket and post it later.BTW is there a preferred style of tube jig?For this prototype I used the tapered tube jig mold as its what I have.
You guys do realize tube jigs don't work anymore right. All the fish in Louise are used to them and turn there nose up at them. Been using some different stuff now for about two years.
BTW where is lake Louise anyway?
