I like stupid tubes, by secret lures

https://shop.secretlures.com/

really like their tube jigs, weight is inside the tube.

 

Ya, well....they only work on 4" tubes.  And yes, I've tried them.  Here's how I did, what I did, and my final words on it:

 

 

Secret Lures makes a 1/8 & 3/16 with 3/0 hook, only one I found.

I have flipped some 6" tubes before - thought they looked like a big frog swimming down.

 

I used owner beast hooks with tungsten putty in the tube.

I Texas rig a 3.5” tube and flip it into the holes in the coontail mats. It pulls through pretty easy. I use the same rig for fishing water willows growing out on raised humps. 

@GRiver thanks for posting about those heads. Just ordered some along with some new tube baits. 

@BrianMDTX I think you’ll like them, BPS has some but the hook is kinda big for what I like, 4/0.

I like the colors too, smoke purple has worked good for me in clearer water. They must have a lot of salt in the tubes, the hooks will rust where it comes out of the tube if you leave it rigged in storage for long periods. But other than that, great tubes and jig heads. 

Who makes a thin walled 4 inch tube?
