Reel,
T-Man tubes have worked the best for me as far as tubes go. I have tried many brands, LeTube,Santini,etc. and non have produced like the T-man Tube. The Tman's are a smaller diameter tube and the way they turn and roll when trolled slow triggers strikes. I always thought tube & worm was a joke, until my buddy told me about T-Man Tubes, and I am sold on the product. Before T-Man's I never caught squat trolling tube & worm and now we hook up constantly with them. I have had the best luck with the T-Man Snake in ebony & scarlet color. Also the black color snake works well and believe it or not the " bubble gum" color will bring them to the boat also. They make a few different varieties of tubes to suit your specific needs. Like I said I prefer the "snakes" which are 24" versus the 15" version. Trolling tube and worm is my favorite go to set-up when everything else just isn't getting it. I troll very slow when using this type of set-up, 1mph/2mph. I try and keep the speed at a steady 1.5mph which seems to be the sweet spot for trolling these tubes. If we are fishing in 30 feet of water over structure we let out 6 colors of leadcore and just let the tube lazily bounce of the bottom while trolling. We buy the T-Man Tubes at Cabela's in Hartford Ct. You can check if you have a local Cabela's in your area to see if they carry them there. Or you can order them directly from T-Man on their website http://www.tmancustomtackle.com/ I do not work for T-Man but I am more then willing to give them a good review because the tubes work great. I hope this info helps REEL, and nice seeing you again!

We tip the hook up here with sea worms or squid strips and we also use the Uncle Josh Pork Rinds that are red/white color. Also Gulp Alive sea worms can be used to tip the hook with. All in all I find the best method is using the sea worms because they just work the best I think.
