Cudz Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Are white tube jigs worth giving a try on Simcoe through the ice for lakers or is it a waste of time? I have seen them used on other lakes in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAsin Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 dont have a clue or know the first thing about simco, but i do know that white or a smoke grey tube works amazing for lakers just make sure u open the bail after the first hit u get they'll come back for it! let hit do the "flutter" down as if wounded just a personal experience may not work worth a darn on simcoe!

blakewalk Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thats a giant tube! Ive landed a couple off BBP with 6"ers; never thought to go any bigger tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 They work well everywhere. Sometimes they'll hit one with large sweeping jigs, but I've personally had my best luck kind of swimming them around the hole with the odd little twitch.

irishfield Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I was ripping 3 to 4 foot lifts with my 6 " last year when I got that 37" laker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brkygetr Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 ITS ALL I USE.....with the biggest minnow you got...sometimes the entire thing is a 8-10 inch mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I sent DipLip some a few years back, white with silver fleck in them he was catching something on them thru the ice, can`t take credit for the lure though, he seems to know how to catch fish. White is a good color spring summer fall for tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 White 5" flipping tubes. These have the solid head and are best for slipping on the back of an airplane jig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anders Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 For lakers in the winter its the first thing i go for. Minnow or clean..they work well! I find when i jig them make sure its a snap, not a gentle lift and drop. Thats just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
