ColdH20guy Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi everyone Just curious what kind of hooks you guys use for weighted t-rigged tubes? I know there are weighted tube hooks (which I have ) that have the weight right on the hook but am looking for something when texas rigging..I found myself adding a small split shot right above the hook on the line but must be a different option.. thanks guys/gals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 There are weights that fit inside the tube, held in with the hook, pricey. I just used a worm weight pegged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdox Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 If I'm pitching to slop, I will peg a heavy tungsten flipping weight, open water or wood/brush I use Owner Phantom weighted EWG tube hook. If you find yourself at BPS pick some of these up. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Owner_Phantom_Weighted_Tube_Hooks/descpage-OWTH.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 The owner phantom hooks are great. You can get the same effect for less $ by inserting an egg sinker, eye first, into the tube then Trigging with an extra wide-gap hook through the eye of the egg sinker.

Toddyc20 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 If you want to add some rattle to those texas tubes try some of these. My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Just another option is a Bell sinker. Insert it in the tube pushing the point through the eye of the weight when rigging. I usually peg a worm weight(1oz - 2oz) with a tooth pick when pitching through slop or a thick weedbed. Lil tid bit - when texas or texposing a tube, insert a glass rattle after rigging the weight and stuff a piece of sponge into the tube then finish rigging it. Soak the sponge with scent and the hook will hold everything in place. good luck edit- sorry just saw singingdog mentioned the egg sinker already.
