Tube jigs are also good in the rocks, the plastic body hangs up and pulls free unlike a jig head or hook. I've seen people fish a single tube for days in Canada and never lose it. Colors I use most are pumpkin and green pumpkin and whatever the brand calls their green/olive/orange/yellow combinations. 3"-3 1/2" work well on 3/16 jigs for water to 25'. If you hate catching smallmouth be warned that they will hit the tubes like crazy, too. And pike. If you are in an area where walleye are puking crayfish up definitely give them a try, either vertically jigged or cast. Let 'em have some slack on the fall and they will have an erratic side action like jigging minnows.
