Denny Brauer won a Classic flipping a tube.  We used to pitch flippin tubes before beaver baits came out.

I was a tube junkie until last season. I can actually count the number of times I tied one on and came up empty. I love 'em, don't get me wrong, I probably have 50 bags of them in my boat, but the bass in my home lake must have put the word out, so I changed my 'sausage.'

I've won more money with a 3.5 inch tube than any other bait. It's my confidence bait, and it seems to always get bit. 

Catch lots of largemouth on 3.5” stupid tubes

Yup.  Tubes work for largemouth bass just as well - if not better - as smallmouth bass.

 

 

Oh heck yes large mouths like tubes.  One of my favorite do nothing presentations.  Cast, let it sink to the bottom, reel it back while maintaining bottom contact.  Doesn’t hurt to twitch or kill it once in a while.  Actually all things like tubes; walleye, northern pike, steel head and so on and so on.  If the bottom is clear I use a tube jig.  If there is weeds or trash around t-rig it.  I always throw tubes on spinning gear 

 

this one and many others like it were caught on a 4 inch zoom green pumpkin tube doing what I described above.
