Description

Casting Rigs The 7″ and 9″ Gator Tubes rigged with a casting rig work well in shallow to mid depth water. This set up works well when you need to fish above weed flats or along drop off edges. Use it like a jerk bait, pausing momentarily to entice strikes. Add in a floatation insert for longer hang time and glide distance. A great modification for use in shallow water or fishing over submerged weeds. Works best with casting rigs. Rigged tube weights 7″ 3.5 oz with 2 treble hooks 9″ 5 oz with 3 treble hooks Jig Rigs The 7″ and 9″ Gator Tubes are rigged with a jig head / #7 Indiana bladed tail gunner combo. This set up works well when you need to fish open water or jig deep current. When fishing open water, work the bait with a quick sweep / pause retrieve, fish can often be triggered to bite when the lure is burned back to the boat in the last 20 yards of the cast.

It can be worked shallow over weed flats, along drop-offs, in open water, or dragged along bottom and through snaggy structure. The description specifically calls out a jerkbait-style pause, quick sweep/pause retrieves, and use in current or over submerged weeds.

  • Large profile for big predator fish
  • Can be fished with pause, sweep, or dragging retrieves

Cons

  • Requires specialized rigs and heavier tackle
