How to Catch Striped Bass: Ultimate Tube and Worm Secrets
Monday, December 26th, 2011The tube and worm isn’t any secret and for good reason. Tubes are low-cost and may easily be made at home. Tubes catch lazy bass in addition to stripers which have been aggressively feeding.
A tube will work if bass are feeding on large menhaden. A tube will also produce if stripers are feeding on sand eels. Naturally a tube will work if stripers are feeding on two foot long worms. Which leads to the debate around precisely what a tube n’ worm rig actually emulates.


How to catch striped bass: Maximizing Time Spent On the Water
Plenty of time is invested on the water looking for fish, sometimes too much time.
The very last thing I wish to do is waste time tinkering with different techniques and lure options when I ultimately identify an area holding big striped bass. Uncommon are the days that a tube and worm fails to catch stripers, when trolled through fish filled areas.
This will make it easy to feel confident in my presentation, understanding that the tube will more than likely prove tempting to a passing striper, regardless of weather conditions or the presence of a particular bait.
Trolling three different tubes at three different depths through an area containing striped bass will quickly allow me to see what length/color tube and what depth will be most productive. Once a number of fish are caught, I will have a decent sense as to the most productive tube and depth. A quick modification to the other two tubes is all that is needed.
Tight lines and good luck learning how to catch striped bass.
