Favorite tube
I've been chasing smallies in the Great Lakes here in the north. They seem to prefer a tube over a jig or a craw imitation lure.
Currently using the SK 3.5 coffee tubes. Curious to know what's out there.
As the title states, what's your favorite?
What's the senko of tubes?

Re: Favorite tube
A small company out of Virginia, River Rock Custom Baits, they have the best tubes I ever used. They make a standard and a pro tube, hand dipped and soft, you go through more of them but I never had a fish drop one. The standard is a normal size tube while the pro model is a triple dipped tube, that is what you want on the Great Lakes, I use the 2.75" and the 3.5" most of the time, blue craw, summer craw, and dark melon candy are my favorite colors but dark special, a really dark brown with a coffee scent is tough to beat no matter what the conditions are.

ISG Dream Tubes, they're quad dipped, and Poor Boy's Tubes. Both have great colors. The fatter quad-dipped tube has caught me some big smallies.

Absolutely. They're the only tubes I own (a ton). If one is as picky as I am regarding length, diameter, wall thickness etc Robert can do whatever one has conjured up in their head.smalljaw wrote:A small company out of Virginia, River Rock Custom Baits, they have the best tubes I ever used.

Re: Favorite tube
Mini tubes work all year long, im always test and experimenting tubes on Southetn Lake Michigan and I like mass produced mini tubes netbait and xzone manufacturer but still have great quality colors, plastics and good skirts. Gitzit slender tube is a must have in tough conditions.
Howie's tackle in Sturgeon Bay has some of the finest hand poured tubes made for big lakes anglers. Salty and a bit bulkier than most mini tubes and offer the colors you love and ones you will fall in love with.
I think the sales from the tubes pays the rent at howies.
