What is everybody's favorite finesse style tube? Lets say 3 inches and down

riverrock baits

Strike King Fat Coffee Tube.

Strike king bitsy tube 

Zman tubez or berkley power bait tube.

 

Durability is better

Mizmo 2.75" Teaser Tubes

I like the tubes from Right Bite

Strike king bitsy tube for me also!

Last year I had some ISG mini intimidator drop shot tubes. I don't know why they call it a drop shot tube, it's just a regular 2 1/2" tube. I need to order more because I can't find those short tubes around here...they're short but not skinny.  They worked really well in the river...much better than my normal 3 1/2"

 

I got them from Tackle Warehouse.

How did you rig them?

I used an internal jig head. I didn't have many tube jigs that were small enough so I was using regular lead ball head jigs...1/8 or 3/16. I have a thread on here I started to find some tube jigs that are small enough but I haven't ordered any yet.

I'm gonna pick up a pack in dark melon orange. I'm gonna use a Berkley half head 1/8oz. They are a mushroom head designed for Ned rigs and they have a 1/0 hook...should work good.

Not exactly a finesse tube, but I like the Venom Stubby Tube in black and blue flake.

Snagler Tackle makes tube jigs for 2.5" tubes, 1/0 hook.

SK bitsy tube or Hooked Up tackle 3.5". I never fish any tube over 3.5". 

 

Just poured several hundred 1/8 and 3/16oz heads with 1/0 hooks to use with them.

3" coffee tube

That is a really cool idea!! Adds some bulk but matches the "skirt" to the bulk! 

 

I have two packs of Mizmo tubes I have never even opened. Got them in a monthly tackle box, cant remember which, and never even thought to use a tube. My understanding is they are aimed more at smallmouth. No idea what they arw even supposed to imitate!

River Rock Custom Baits 2.75" tubes are the best tubes I've ever used hands down.

Oh man Luke, don’t overlook what a tube can do especially on largemouth bass. Some of my large big mouths came on a tube. I got the idea years ago from Shaw Grigsby.

T-Rig them for your upcoming spawn and let me know how you do. ?
