Anyone tried tube jigs for steelhead?
« on: March 03, 2011, 03:30:54 PM »
I read somewhere that anglers in Great Lakes area were having success catching steelhead using 1.5~2" tube jigs used for crappie fishing.
Wondering if anyone tried it in BC and had any success.

If you don't like the fish you're catching... change the bait!!

Tried one out under a float in the fall- caught a chum. Hammered it.

Yeah.... I tried it a few times this season, but no luck so far.
I think it might be suited for smaller mid-west rivers but not for our bigger and faster western rivers.
