    Default what are the most DURABLE tube jigs?


    I am making some homemade blade baits, and I am trying to find some tough ones that won't come apart easily, action won't be that important.

    thanks

    I thought all tube jigs were hollow and can't stand them!

    I use Southern Pro 1.5in and Midsouths' Super jig 1.75in. Both have about the same formula to me and stick very well to the jighead with some super glue.

    What about the Nikko Octopus or the Zman Tiny TicklerZ? They are both made out of the stretchy virtually indestructible stuff.

    Not exactly a tube jig , but bone head brands Stump Bug is about the toughest I’ve used.
    It may be a good choice for what you’re doing?

    I'm a long line troller so I go through many different tubes in a year. I would say in my experience the most durable are any from Southern Pro. Bobby Garland 2nd. The Jenko baits are pretty tough as well.
