Bubblegum Blast — Lake Trout Tube (UV Glow Blue)

Hand‑Poured Trophy Tube by Hooked Up Fishing

The Bubblegum Blast Lake Trout Tube is built for anglers who want a loud, high‑contrast presentation that stands out in deep water and triggers aggressive reaction strikes. Hand‑poured with Hooked Up Fishing’s premium soft plastic, this tube combines a bold bubblegum pink body, a pulsing skirt, and a UV Glow Blue core that lights up in the depths where big lake trout hunt.

Infused with garlic scent, Bubblegum Blast adds a powerful scent trail that keeps fish committed once they close in. This is a tube designed to be seen, felt, and smelled — a triple‑threat presentation for cold‑water predators.

🎣 Why the Bubblegum Blast Works

• High‑Contrast Bubblegum Color Pink is one of the most visible colors in deep water, especially in low‑light or stained conditions. It stands out against rock, sand, and open water, making it easy for trout to track.
• UV Glow Blue Core The blue glow penetrates deeper than most colors, creating a subtle halo that helps trout locate the bait in 60–120+ feet. It’s bright enough to be seen, but natural enough to avoid spooking pressured fish.
• Garlic Scent Infusion Adds a scent trail that lingers in the water column, helping convert followers into biters — especially when trout are neutral or curious.
• Natural Baitfish Silhouette The long body and flared skirt mimic cisco, smelt, and juvenile whitefish — the primary forage of trophy lake trout.
• Slow, Spiraling Fall The tube’s balanced density and skirt length create a controlled descent that stays in the strike zone longer and triggers reaction bites.
• Micro‑Vibration Skirt Each strand pulses and flares with every lift, sending subtle vibrations that trout detect through their lateral line.

Bubblegum Blast is a confidence bait when you need visibility, scent, and action working together.

🪝 Rigging Styles That Bring Bubblegum Blast to Life

1. Internal Tube Jig (Classic Lake Trout Rig)

Slide the jig head inside the tube and push the eyelet through the nose.

Why it works: Creates a natural head‑first fall and allows the skirt to breathe freely. Perfect for vertical jigging and pounding bottom.

Recommended weights:

• ½ oz – ¾ oz: Shallow flats, 20–40 ft
• 1 oz – 1¼ oz: Mid‑depth structure, 40–70 ft
• 1½ oz – 2 oz: Deep water, 70–120+ ft or heavy current

2. External Jig Head (Open‑Hook Rig)

Thread the tube onto a standard jig head with the hook exposed.

Why it works: Adds a wider wobble and a more aggressive fall — great when trout are chasing or when you’re covering water.

Recommended weights:

• ⅜ oz – ½ oz: Casting and swimming presentations
• ¾ oz – 1 oz: Faster vertical drop and snap‑jigging

3. Belly‑Weighted Swimbait Hook

Rigged through the nose and out the side for a horizontal glide.

Why it works: Creates a wounded‑baitfish swim that’s deadly on suspended lakers or fish cruising mid‑column.

Recommended weights:

• ⅛ oz – ⅜ oz: Slow, natural glide
• ½ oz: Faster sink for deeper suspended marks

4. Heavy Bottom‑Bouncer Tube Rig

Used when you need to stay pinned to the bottom in deep water or current.

Why it works: Keeps the tube in the strike zone while the skirt pulses with every lift. Great for pounding rock piles, humps, and saddles.

Recommended weights:

• 2 oz – 3 oz: Deep structure or moderate current
• 4 oz+: Extreme depths or Great Lakes‑style jigging

5. Drop Shot Tube

Tie the tube on a short leader above a heavy drop‑shot weight.

Why it works: Keeps the tube hovering just off bottom — perfect for neutral fish or when trout are feeding on suspended bait.

Recommended weights:

• 1 oz – 2 oz: Standard drop‑shotting
• 3 oz: Deep water or fast drift

⭐ Where the Bubblegum Blast Shines

• Low‑light conditions (dawn, dusk, overcast)
• Deep water where visibility is limited
• Stained or tannic lakes
• Vertical jigging over marks in 60–120+ ft
• When trout are feeding aggressively and want a bold target
• Situations where scent helps seal the deal

The Bubblegum Blast is a loud, high‑visibility, scent‑infused tube that commands attention and convinces big lakers to commit.
