What's a good brand for tubes? 2025

ibobpeb reply :

I checked TW and BPS but there's too many choices that I don't know what to buy. I need 2" tubes for crappies and 4" tubes for smallmouth & largemouth. I have a feeling 50 people are going to recommend 50 different tube brands though.. lol.

Your statement rings true. I usually buy whatever I can get the best deal on. Haven't found a brand yet that hasn't worked.

KP Duty reply :

ISG. Good plastic/consistent tails.

There is some very good information on this very topic in several threads I listed just some of them that seems to be better directed to your question. But a site search for tubes opens a plethora of great reading on this topic. Everything from the size, color, style, brand, hooks to use, and how to fish them. All has been covered numerous times.

Great quality, Killer colors at a fair price.

Pretty durable too.

I like the 3.5" big bite bait tubes.

tbone1993 reply :

Always had good luck with the gizit tubes. You can buy bulk packs off of their website. That being said I've caught fish on almost any tube i've thrown. When I ran out dicks only had the big bites baits in stock and those worked well. It just depends on the type of bait the fish want. The small size of the big bites/ gizit worked wonders in the creeks for smallies but the bigger gizits worked better on northern lakes. The hooks are almost more important as the bait IMO.

One of the guys at the local tackle shop says the Dry Creek tubes are his favorite baits to throw.

primetime reply :

BPS....Gitzit...Strike King, Zoom, all depends on what kind of tube..The Power Team Food chain Tubes are my favorite for a weighted hook...has craw style legs, buoyant, and you get solid hooksets, skips well...Good tube...

Gitzit is king imo for swimming or baitfish imitations, but BPS has a tube for all situations, the zoom tube is a good finesse tube...

For a 2" tube..Buy whatever color you like...Strike King Bitsy tubes are great, BPS has a magnum crappie humbug tube with rings that is 1.75 but fat...Works great on a Road runner jighead.....

All tubes work, just trim the ends like a skirt if they stick together..The new ZMan tubes are probably the best value since 1 would probably last all day, a pack all year....and they float. Power team is 3.5, the larger tubes are really big, large flipping tubes but by what is on sale...All are good, but FInesse tubes are finesse, flipping are flipping, double dipped are bigger....I would buy what is on sale in the color and shape you like best...

Never forget the IKa by GYB....Casts better than any tube since it isn't hollow.

Bankbeater reply :

I use Zoom and BPS tubes.

Master Bait'r reply :

If you want crappie tubes check out the slurpies (they may have changed the name) from northland tackle. Awesome little panfish tubes with fish heads.

Also Biffle-Os are like straight tail tubes and are a great tube/worm/Ned crossover presentation as well that gets bit.

Gene larew ring tube

PTL tube - small one

Zoom 3.75

Scarborough817 reply :

honestly i just use the BPS tubes i've never had a problem with them

crankbank reply :

As others have said, I roll with Power Team Lures - Food Chain.

Delaware Valley Tackle reply :

To me, the jig head or hook make more difference than tube itself. If the weight and line tie angle are giving the right action, lots of colors will get bit.

cgolf reply :

BPS tender tubes are super soft and have lots of color options, but being soft not the most durable tube out their.

A small company I tried last year, swing oil baits, has a J tube that is really durable and did well for me last year. It a bit bigger and and bulkier, than the old Trigger X tube I used to use that was discontinued.

As far as durability goes I have always done well with strike king tubes.

moguy1973 reply :

BPS 4" Mag tubes. It's pretty much all I use.

Nope because when it comes to tubes any brand is good. Personally I like BPS and Zoom.
