a friend of mine used those tubes at clear lake during the early spring, and said they worked awesome as a bed bait, he caught alot of 7-9lb fish. ive been leary to try them at other times, but after reading the book, i know a few spots i may try the tubes, i think ill buy 1 to try it out and decide if its for me, its $11 at bass pro shops for 1 ! lol expensive stuff, but it does come rigged and with an extra tube, not so bad a i guess, heck i pay $40 for trout lures lol
