Flipping tube into a laydown in Indiana in early winter is almost a guarantee for hand to hand combat with a quality smallmouth. The 3.5” coffee tube is the perfect size and I don’t know why but the green pumpkin purple is the color that they love all year long. The stupid tube jig in 1/8 oz is the perfect weight for a slower fall. I like to target big laydown ms in shallow water that are close to wintering holes.

Broke out the FREE RIG to try on the river for winter smallies. Targeted submerged laydowns in slack water. I was impressed with how effective this was. It was a little hard to feel the bite as the line is slack but the biggest fish of the day came on this rig. Cast it right where you want it to sink. The weight drops straight down immediately, the fluke glides downs slowly. I think there is definitely something to be said for scented baits and smallmouth bass. I hope y’all are fishing, catching and living that #HookLife.
