Tube bait?

[UNIT]

Going to fish lakers this weekend and have heard that white tube jigs are the ticket. I am a novice and having fished with tip ups mainly I realized I better go shopping. After looking for these white tube baits all I could find were not pure white but white with sparkle flecks in the body. I also purchased some white twister tails and white gulp jerk shads. Should I keep looking or will what I have work well.

Thanks

i'm no expert on laker fishing but i think those will work just fine

Sounds good to me, too. What sizes are we talking about in the tubes? In my home lake, using 4" and 5" tubes tends to turn off fish below 5 lbs. The primary forage is stunted smelt, and the smaller fish are oriented toward smaller baits. They'll more readily take 3" tubes.

If you are in a similar fishery, don't be afraid to bring along the typical walleye-sized Swedish Pimples and Jigging Raps and such. JIgging spoons and Raps are great laker getters most anywhere, and even on fisheries where large lures work great for all sizes of laker, some days when they are sluggish, small is better.

agree with steve i also like the new 3in berkley rippel shad it has a paddel tail and groves on the body of it lots of vibration and water displacement. My first laker on them was 6#er two days ago.
