| Tube baits |
As we all know, tube baits are excellent lure for both largemouth and smallmouth bass. You can improve the lure with one simple modification. Most manufacturers put too many "tentacles" on the bait, prohibiting them from their full range of motion. When you take it out of the package, remove 6-8 tentacles from the bait, and try to space them out. This will allow the remaining tentacles to move freely in the water, giving more life to the bait |
