Flipping Tubes

Featured Replies

Can someone help me and reccomend a good tube and flipping hook to go with it. I’ve seen the strike king/powerbait ones but see nothing about flipping hooks for these baits

the Trokar tube hook is the only hook I use for tubes. I've even flipped creatures and beavers with it as well. Awesome hook.

If you don't need a stout hook, the JP tube hook with the clip on it is an awesome choice.  It doesn't work, however, with an internal weight. When doing that, I like a hook with a good amount of wire between the eye and the initial bend for the weight to nest in.  Any quality, stout worm hook will work with the bigger 4in.+ tubes. For any thing shorter, you'll want something like the Trokar RyneB mentioned.

For tubes, I like TriggerX  and Havoc Smash tubes for a long,skinny profile, but my favorite for flipping is a craw/creature tube. Absolutely awesome as a punch bait and you can load up the hollow body with scent, or add an internal rattle.

I prefer the Strike King ones because they have the solid head to help hold the hook. I just use an EWG hook. 

I've used the Strike King Denny Brauer Flippin' tube with a 5/0 Mustad Ultra Point Big Mouth Tube Hook for years with good success. Can't go wrong with that set up.

personally i just use an ewg mustad grip pins are my favourite. as for the tubes i use phenix tubes, thinking about grabbing some yum tubes though
