How do I setup a Tube and Worm Rig?
On the end of your main line a 36 inch leader line (e.g., fluorocarbon).  Tie the end of your leader line to the tube.  Typically 30 -50 pound line test is used. 

Weighted vs. Non-Weighted?
For shallow water trolling, a non-weighted tube is typically used.  For deeper waters, add on egg sinker, keel weight or use a bullet head tube and worm to get down deep.

Jigging a bullet head tube and worm and creating an erratic action also can entice fish strikes.

What Color Should I use?
The most popular color pattern used for a tube and worm is either, translucent red, solid red or chartreuse.

When in doubt, mix up the color pattern and stick with the color that seems to have the best success for that day. You can also try to match the bait color.

What Size Tube Should I use?
Bigger lure doesn’t always mean bigger fish. Similar to color patterns, mix it up (12 / 18 / 24 inch options).
