River Rock Custom Baits 3.5" pro tube in dark melon candy. It is a hand dipped tube that is really soft and it gets bit even in tough conditions and the fish don't spit it, they eat it!!

A-Jay, that looks like a darker version of my favorite color, Avocado".

Venom salt series. Color:  Roadkill.  Why?... Because they catch me tons of fish. 

 

I also like cabin creek and mizmo tubes. 

[Mbirdsley]

Zoom tube in green pumpkin 4.0 inch.  Around here it either looks like a goby or craw in the rivers. 

[Dtrombly]

BPS Tournament Series 4" in Roadkill color. 

[Dorado]

SK Bitsy Tube - Pumpkin w/ green fk

Gitzit 3.5” Tourney Tube- Brown Craw

 

These two have been my all-time favorite bed baits to throw in urban ponds. If I slowly drag these across their bedroom, then I can expect to see the nose down, tail up position 

[evilcatfish]

Oh boy, I love fishing tubes. These picks are mainly due to price (buy bulk packs) and color selection, as I feel most tubes work as well as other brands.

 

4"-Right Bite and Poor Boys

2.5"-Right Bite and Mizmo

 

Go to colors are smoke purple flake, roadkill or roadkill blue, green pumpkin, and green squash (what BPS calls puke)

Yum Vibra King in green pumpkin.

 

The tube is pretty much Zoom’s only plastic bait I don’t like.

[NYWayfarer]

Zoom Super Salty Tubes in Green Pumpkin color. No other tube comes close to performing as well as these do for me.

 

The only flaw I find in them is the tentacles are quite delicate and get shredded easy. They also get caught on the exposed hook of my tube inserted jig.

[FryDog62]

I had an order going in to TW so added some of the Provider and Dry Creek Tubes mentioned above... (guy said they are fresh out of fallopian though Croakhunter ? )

Interested to hear what you don't like about these.  I just bought a few packs, came home, turned on my computer and read this.  Hmm....?

Any tube I throw has to be triple dipped because I am usually dragging them drift fishing.  Thin walled tubes are shot after 1 drift in sand/weeds.  

[BassNJake]

I like the venom big shots tube.

It's a fat tube and gives a different look as many people will use smaller profile tube baits.

 

The copper flake has been good to me in multiple colors.

I like the Berkley power tube for largies in root beer or green pumpkin because its very durable.  I prefer a smaller one (2.5 inches) for smallmouth like the venom brand.

[Scarborough817]

Phenix Canada makes some awesome tubes favourite size is the 3.5"

colour is green black copper

 

close second is camo

[river-rat]

I'm partial to the 4" and 5" tubes made by Right Bite Baits. These tubes are heavily salted and tough enough to last for several fish.

 

I only carry the following colors.

 

Black Blue Tail

Green Pumpkin - Red and Green Glitter

Black - Red Glitter

South Africa Special

[BigFishRI]

Yum Vibra King. Dark Grasshopper color, which I think is discontinued now. The newer colors Snot Rocket and Summer Gill are pretty solid.  I usually fish this weightless with a 5/0 VMC swimbait hook.
