If you have fished a tube bait much you know that they are super effective bass baits but that they can be super frustrating but that is where the stupid tube comes in.
This tube bait jig head allows you to rig a tube bait weedless and fish more effectively if you are hanging up on the bottom a lot.
To make this easier I recorded a quick video on how to do this rig.

Rigging the Stupid Rig
It is almost like rigging a regular tube rig, but backward. It helps if you lubricate the head to make it easier to slip in. I typically use the scent that I am using to do this.
The stupid rig does require a special tube jig hook with an extra wide gap.
What You Need
Here is a list of items that you will need to rig the stupid tube.

Besides that, I recommend a sensitive medium action rod that is 7′ or better so that you can not only get more distance on your casts but feel the bites.
Any bottom contact bait needs a sensitive rod so that you can feel the bites.
Wrapping Up the Stupid Tube
Again, this is super effective as it gives you that same circular falling motion that makes the tube so special without hanging up as much.
Go out and grab some wide gap tube jig hooks, some tubes, and some attractant and hit the water. This is especially deadly for smallmouth bass, but still puts a lot of largemouth in the boat.
