Strike King coffee tubes.

Featured Replies

I bought the green pumkin in coffe tubes and went to my parents pond.  Let me tell u I caught 6 off of them.  I was curious if I tied on a BPS tube and fished in the same spot.  Nothing not a bite nothing.  Fished it for about 40 minutes.  Well I decided to try the coffee tube again and caught my last 2 fish.  They were both green pumkin.  I was just curious if anyone else has had success like me.  I love them.

Looking forward to trying this year on St.Clair. Stocked up on some colors last week.

I have some but are yet to use them...

Michbass have you checked out Wayne Carpenters tubes?  He runs combat fishing out of clawson, and they are excellent.  He has done some facinating research on crawfish in the St. Clair,  and Lake Erie region.  I used some last year and had sweet results on Lake Angelus... caught 3-4 Smallies in the 4-5 lb range in a week.

yeah I have havent used them yet though. Have had great luck with terry's from lunch money lures another local guy, use to do red dragons tubes.

Love to get on Angelus  ;) sometime. Great lake and all most impossible to get on from what I hear.

I actually bought a pack at academy on friday and caught one 13" (no giant of course) on one saturday morning.  I was crappie fishing in a crappie house and had my bass stuff with me, so I decided to try one and jig it up and down in the well and caught him.  Excited to try it in other areas and see how they really work. ;)

I haven't tried the Coffee tubes yet but am anxious to do so.  I remember my father placing coffee grounds in his night crawler bedding for catfish.  I did make a difference 30+ yrs ago.  We did well one evening until we ran out of crawlers.  Went to the bait shop got some fresh crawlers and the bite died.....

whats the deal with these, i saw them using them on a fishing show cant remember which one.  do they have coffee inpregnated in the bait much like salt in other soft plastics?

is the coffe  in the bait or just coffee on the outside like the salt on those annoying YUM plastics

They don't have coffee on them, they just smell like coffee.  They do however have a TON of salt on them just like those 'annoying YUM' worms.  I took one out of the package to check it out and got salt everywhere.

I haven't tried them out yet.
