8/26/06--All Tube X Bass today plus a new 'pegged' weight

[Lightninrod]

Went to the swamp pond near Elko, GA today from 11 AM to 2 PM; sunny/hot(low 90s), no wind, low water level--stained but clear, few clouds, and water temp at 89 degrees.

Lately, the Zoom Speed Worm or a cr/bait has been my go-to catcher but Vertical's Tube X took the honors today. I pitched it mostly and caught 7 or 8 with pics of four. I also was trying for the first time, a new weight that hooks to the hook, keeping the weight next to the bait's 'nose' as though it were pegged.

Nice catchin Dan. Hey how durable are those tubes, They look very interesting.

[woodman6035]

Nice catch...I like the looks of that sinker rig.

[Lightninrod]

Thanks y'all .

illini: They're durable IMO. I caught 7 or 8 on one tube.

fp11: Yea, it worked out great today. I've always used Gambler's screw-in weights(I need my weight to 'stay' with the bait because of all the wood where I fish.) but since they no longer can make them and I don't like....no, since I hate their new ones, I'd been looking for a replacement. The only thing I don't like about the new weight is it has no rattle but that tube is partly hollow, allowing room for a glass rattle to be inserted although I went 'rattleless' today.
