Forget which mag this was in... but read an article a year or two back about trolling these babies deep around the Chesepeake for big bass. Those tiger tubes do look expensive. I don't have them but I wonder how durable the plastic is.

Salt Water Spotsman. They were fishing them on the bottom in around 80 feet of water. They rigged them up with double tubes. 16 oz weights shoved inside the bottom tube on the bottom of the rig and another above unweighted with a pvc tube put inside, snug fit with a hook out the rear. Weight like the one in the photo. They fit perfectly into the tube. I got the weights from the tackle shop in Virginia that the article was about. I have not found any tubes this big, they are 8", other than Lindy. Plenty of tubes to 4 inch but no luck on any bigger. I seemed to have misplaced the article  I will keep looking. Paul

I found the article. They actually use up to 24 oz jigs.  I 'd hate to be jigging that. They also fish these in 40 to 60 foot depths. Obviously from a drifting boat. P. |

March 2004 Saltwater Sportsman. They are made more for drifting than trolling although I would think they would work. They are using a lot of weight, 16 to 24 oz jigs, and fishing 40 to 60 foot depth's. Good luck and let me know how you do. Paul

I might try trolling a molded squid as well rigged similarly. I bet that would work well in May.
