Introduction: Early on in my bass fishing adventures, flipping was a go-to technique on the California Delta. One of my go-to baits to pitch up along the outside edge of the pennywort and other overgrown vegetation was the combination of a tube bait capped with a single or twintail grub trailer. It was an effective technique when the bass would come out from under those weeds to hit a bait, but now the only way to get to them is punching over the top. Fast forward to when Pro Angler Mike McClelland showed me a new product from Big Bite Bait Company, their Craw Tube, and it was almost like being transported back in time.
Man these take me back to when I was a kid. The mold has been used by so many companies over the years. I think it goes back to when tubed where the new hot bait on a market in the 90s. Cool to see it still in production.
