MGF Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 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. Quote

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. Quote

They are a mushroom head designed for Ned rigs and they have a 1/0 hook...should work good. 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 29, 2021 Super User Posted January 29, 2021 Not exactly a finesse tube, but I like the Venom Stubby Tube in black and blue flake. Quote

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! 1 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted January 31, 2021 Super User Posted January 31, 2021 River Rock Custom Baits 2.75" tubes are the best tubes I've ever used hands down. 1 Quote

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. ? Quote
