bojon Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I will be making some six inch long tubes that will have the hollow filled with fine salt funneled in from the open end,then sealed with Super Pro glue.I might also try scenic sand.I will let you know how they work.They ought to sink like a rock,and the scent should be very salty.Has anyone else tried this???I think I will call them BACK JACK from the old ganster days.It is my nature to try new things,or old things in a new way.

BBC Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 why not add some of your favorite scent as well? You may also want to poke some holes in the bait so the scent and salt can diffuse through. Just a couple thoughts. I like the concept though.

GB GONE Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Funny you should mention something like this Ron. I took 3 of the tubes I made and poured them to about 3/4 full (inside the tube) with plastic/salt and bbs. I left just enough room for the hook/hook point to be free of the plastic. I'll let you know how they fish as I was able to pour down 2 successfully but one I slipped on and poured everything all over!! They sink like a bullet in the pool!! Cool spiral on the fall also.

bojon Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I planned on maybe some scent.with small razor cuts on the ends.If it drops like a wacky hooked Senko it should spread salt as it falls.The hook entry could also realease scent and salt.The end of these tubes will be lousy looking,but if the proto type works,I will try a Senko type rod for dipping.

GB GONE Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 While you are at it, put some of that Crackle stuff up in there or Alka Seltzer!!! Heck, if the fish don't bite, you might get one to laugh so hard at what is coming out of the tube, you might be able to lip him without a fight!! :lolhuh:Just Kidding!!! Good ideas though Ron!

bojon Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 All right!!Jim,keep me posted.I can see no reason that this type of scent dilivery system shouldn't turn out to be a killer.I also test my lure in the swimming pool.Have some one summerge next to a tube lure CUT OFF HOOK POINT, LoL. , and listen how load they are going through the water.My buddy said the blunter end tubes are the noisest.Makes sense they would push more water.

GB GONE Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Sounds like a job for my 7yr old!!! He might take a bite though!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 JIm,I have stuffed regular tubes with Hard Rock candy I think it was called.It was flavored and fizzed when you put them in your mouth.I don't remember me catching any on them ,but who knows what a bass thinks.

bojon Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I made six tubes about 5 inches long,and filled them to the rim with fine salt.Very heavy.Looks good.My fishing partner already conficated two even before they were tested.I will keep you all posted.I sealed the open end with super glue and placed a 1 pound ingot of lead on the glued area.
