Kent, a few questions for you here.
1. I can understand using the tail (I do sometimes myself) but the head? Do you tip your hooks with the head?
[/quote]
Yes, I definitely tip my tubes with the head, it is a toss-up between which works better the head or the tail, and both of them work better than the body of the chub.

2. You say that you "cut them as you go". Does that mean that you cut them as you need them out on the boat?
[/quote]
Yes. I will often cut up an entire chub at one time, or I may just cut off one piece at a time.
[quote Old_Coot]
3. If your are cutting them out in the boat, can I assume that the chub are not frozen when you cut them ... right?
[/quote]
I freeze my chubs in baggies with a little water. I thaw them just enough that I can separate one or two and then I always keep them in an small cooler with Blue Ice. They stay "almost frozen" all or at least most of the day.

4. When you say that you use "shears", would that be the same as sissors. If they are not sissors, could you please discribe what shears are?
[/quote]
They are probably closer to shears than scissors. All of the ones I have seen have a green handle and have serrated blades that grip the chub as I cut off a piece.
