To rig a coffee tube, start by inserting the hook into the hollow cavity at the top of the tube. Then bring the hook out about 1/4 inch from the head of the tube. Next, work the jighead into the cavity, pushing it all the way in until the barb of the hook is just visible. Finally, adjust the presentation of the tube so that it is facing downwards, with the hook eye pointing up. This will help to ensure that the hook point is always facing upwards and ready to hook a fish.
