With the cabin being only ten miles inland from Lake Superior near Two Harbors, Minnesota I enjoy time on the lake fishing Lake Trout and Salmon. I fish as much from the breakwater in Two Harbors as from a boat and one of my pet baits/rigs is a tube with a weighted slip-in insert carrying a #1/0 treble hook. From the wall I just cast and let the rig free fall to the bottom with the bail open, then just do a hop/reel retrieve. From the boat I like this rig fished vertically for suspended fish that are reluctant to chase a bait.
The tubes I make in a few color patters that are proven Trout producers. Shown is an orange/chartreuse in a 4" tube made in a Do-It molds mold. The hook is attached to a simple spinner shaft wire threaded thru a spinner body [for weight, 3/8 ounce], some beds added for extra color and then the line tie eye is made using a round nosed pliers.
Simple, effective and tubes, scented and un-scented are a couple bucks a bag of ten so very affordable.
