SudburyBasser reply :
Another vote for the Strike King Coffee Tubes.
Bobby Uhrig reply :
If your going to make a tube-Make it right.
Also the MegaTube has a solid butt that you can screw keepers into for better hold on shakey heads and it also works better for Texas rigging
Notice the lifelike segmented body-These are killer for largemouth and smallies.

Heres another
Bluebasser86 reply :
SK Denny Brauer flipping tube and Pour Boy tubes for me. Cabin Creek are a good bait too.
Will Wetline reply :
The original 3 1/2" Gitzit produces well for me.
flippin and pitchin reply :
There are a million companies that produce tubes. Many are regional and the colors they produce are regional. In the PNW Outlaw Baits and Dry Creek Baits have a big following. Strike King makes a good tube. The nice thing about the smaller companies is you can order in 50's or 100's and save a few bucks.
Jig Man reply :
I've use a lot of different ones and the all will catch fish. I couldn't get colors the way I want them so I started making my own several years ago. Now I don't use any other than the ones I make myself.
Quillback reply :
I started using Dry Creek double dipped tubes this fall, I've had some good days using them. I really like the "Bama Craw" color, green pumpkin overall with some subtle orange coloring on the tentacles. I realize there's lots of good tube makers out there, but I'm really impressed with the Dry Creek tubes, durable with great color schemes.
Felix77 reply :
Another vote for the Gitzit original. I also had success with the Zoom tubes.
bassh8er reply :
Chompers and Yum VibraKing tubes for thia guy.
Kevinator1 reply :
I like the Snack Daddy Elite Tubes....They are a little thicker at the head, which gives it a slightly larger profile.

X2 coffee tubes
CPBassFishing reply :
Coffee tubes, and my personal favorite, the Powerteam lures craw tube.
papajoe222 reply :
I have a taklebag full of StrikeKing tubes, both coffe and the older salted version, along with a tube kit I believe was from Bass Pro. The majority of them are 3.5in, but I also have some packs of five inchers I've used for flipping, I just don't recall offhand who makes them.
Aluma-Bass reply :
Yum Vibra King tube

I still have a few of those tubes you made Jig Man...Awesome tubes my friend!
I'm also a fan of Yum F2ubes.
RyneB reply :
i think im the worst tube fisherman on the planet. I have all kinds of sizes,brands,colors, coffee scent, craw sent, salted, unsalted, and i have not caught a single largemouth on a tube. I have some success on my local small river with tubes for smallies, but thats rare.
BassThumb reply :
The variety of tubes mentioned so far in this thread demonstrates how many effective brands are on the market.
I personally have always had the best luck with the finesse-style tubes, like the Powerbait or Venom ones.

How are you rigging them? Every which way?
ww2farmer reply :
I don't fish tubes for largemouth much any more, IDK why not, they always produced. Back when I did, I used alot of different ones, Venom, Mizmo, Yum, Strike King, Zoom, and on and on....No one produced better than the other, but I found I liked ones that had a little solid place on the head better than ones that were hollow all the way to the head. Now when I do flip tubes for LMB, it's usually the SK coffee tubes, the 4.5" flipping model does have the solid head.
For Smallmouth, I still use tubes often. I have tried lots of those too. My favorties are ones that are only single walled, with a thinner profile. While I have caught fish on the 3.5" SK coffee tubes, they are pretty thick. I took a shine last year to Yamamoto tubes, they are nice thinner profile tubes like I like.The Zoom small tube is also a thin profile tube too, BUT, it has a solid head..........good for T-rigging, but I don't like it for inserting a tube jig head.

texas rigged, insert weight, weighted tube jig head inserted inside, jig head, shaky head. Pry every way except on a drop shot or as a jig trailer. Im going to go into next season really focusing on tubes. Of all the baits and techniques out there, the tube is the one i have the least confidence and success in. I feel every other part of my fishing is decent, but not when it comes to tubes. After going through old tube articles in bassmaster and doing some studying, it seems that the lighter the weight the better. I usually throw it with a 3/8 oz weight, maybe i should start using a 1/4?
jhoffman reply :
I fish it exactly like a normal jig but I am not so quick to get it back to the boat as a jig. You definitely want to slow the drop. Try rigging it backwards also for a different look. Color to me means everything, black and blue might be the hottest color ever but if the water is gin clear I come up millhouse on them.
BassinB reply :
Gambler tubes for pitchin docks and pads and slop. They seem to slide through cover really well especially with a coat of megastrike on em. And Get Bit Baits smallmouth tubes, they come in different cuts and lengths that are hard to find in other brands.
LuckyHandsINC. reply :
I'm surprised to see no one mention Hooked Up Baits Turbo Tails. They are a small company but they have a decent following among the people I fish with.
They were recommended to me by the best the tube fisherman I know and they have not dissapointed. What makes them different is the shorter body and longer tail. I mostly use road kill camo color because that is also what he uses exclusively and he always catches fish.
gripnrip reply :
I love the Vibra King and SK coffee tubes. BUT man those MEGAstrike tubes look great!
