I have probably 25 packs of tubes they are my favorite plastic, favorite is probably SK Coffee Tube in Crazy Craw. I find the coffee tubes are some of the most effective yet least durable tubes ive used, however i think most of the coffee infused plastics offered by SK arent the most durable. Still great baits

 I would throw more tubes but I'm having a hard time finding good hooks that will allow me to Texas Rig a tube.  Either the hooks are too large or too small and don't have enough gap.  Do they make hooks specially for tubes where the hook can be buried like a Texas rig?

I don't know what kind of tubes your throwing but for 3.5 gizit a 1/0 gamakatsu offset worm hook works great. The bend of the hook comes threw right at the tenticles of the tube; leaving the hook texposed. you could bury it if you want but I don't find it the need to since the hook is so close to the plastic. I like to push a bell or cone shaped weight up in the nose first and your set.

Gizits work fine for me.

X2 - I've caught a lot smallies and lakers in spring on the white color. And it works when drop shotting smallies down deep in the summertime. And again using the watermelon color on a jig head up shallow in the fall. They work for me.

I barely use tubes, I don't get any action from them. my wife however can smash smallies on them all the time. She mainly uses gitzit 3/3.5in and mizmo's

Trokar makes a great tube hook for t-rigging.

Mine would also have to be Power Team Lures Food Chain Tubes.  I used to be a Dry Creek guy, and they still make a great tube, but I just have more confidence in the Food Chain Tube.  Great baits!
