Tube Cracker rattling tube heads come from custom designed RedRum tube molds offering one of a kind style and sleek performance for tube baits. They feature an ultra premium hook and rattles. Having a subtle rattle in the bait definitely makes a difference when it comes to presence. Vibrations in the water enable fish to key in with their lateral lines to track the bait in low light/dark, stained or turbid water and they also crack off vibrations that attract attention to the direction of the bait. Simply put, if a fish is not looking the direction of your jig, how can it see it? The rattle crack turns heads and gets fish looking toward the direction of the vibration. The Tube Cracker heads come in packages of 3 with size options of 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 & 1 oz and are equipped with Owner Deep Throat XX hooks. Owner Deep Throat hooks are incredibly sharp utilizing Owners cutting point technology and are 2X strength so they are not light flimsy wire hooks; in addition, the hook is wide gap. These premium features combined with the shape of the hook offer a few advantages over traditional lighter wire narrow gap jig hooks that are usually associated with tube jig heads. The advantages are better hook sets due to the sharp cutting point tip and the wide gap has that extra reach to grab something and catch on those quick hit and spit type of strikes. The XX strength doesn't allow for as much flexion on the hooks which can cause hook pulls and fish to come unbuttoned. The XX strength means these hooks are meant for pulling hard on big fish. The shape of the hook makes it merciless because its wider and shaped with slight corners (similar to a flexed bicep) so it digs deep and those corners help keep the hook locked in, whereas J hooks slide freely through the hole punch in the jaw of your fish. Simply put, these are industry professional grade premium jigs that are tough, strong and dependable.
The hook sizes according to jig size as follows:
1/8 & 1/4 oz - 1/0 [Best suited with the 3" tubes though 1/4 works well in our 4" tubes]
