tube lures
Question
Hi Marc,
I read your article on tubes in the In Fisherman magazine. Do you think this technique could be used for salmon that have started up the rivers? Also, I have had a difficult time finding center balanced jig heads anywhere and wondered if you have any recommendations?
We do well on salmon in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with Thundersticks, Rapalas, etc. I am always looking for new ways to fish and would like to give this a try.
Thanks,
Wes
Answer
Hi Wes,
They do work for migrating salmon but don't like snag filled rivers.
It is impossible to find the center balanced heads which is why I had to make them myself. The other problem is weak hooks. Thats why I use a saltwater grade hook.
I plan on having them available for purchase. This article came up on me quick and I don't have things in place right now and I have a family member in the hospital right now.
I will keep this All Experts inquiry and let you know when I have a sales system in place. They will definitely work in the UP.
Thanks and good luck,
Marc
