Another informative video Glen. 
I’ve been fishing tubes for decades and echo your statements about that action they have when rigged with a jighead internally and your observation about stupid head jug hooks being too big. 
My solution has been to use an internal weight. Because the lne tie is in front of the tube rather than on top, you don’t get that spiral action, but the gliding action remains.

I did some stupid rig fishing this past spring and it worked real well but I used the tube jig heads I already had . I'm going to add these to my shopping list .

Good video! The point I picked up on was where the hook exits the tube and how to determine that point. As Glenn would say, that is key! Don’t recall any other videos I’ve watched mentioning this. Another point was that you need larger than 3 1/2” baits.

The Swagger Tackle offering is decent.

A-Jay, do the Swaggers have a shorter hook shank than the Secret Lures heads?

Haven't used the secret deal so I can't say. 

I use the Swagger deal in this Performance Series" Bite Size 3.5"  Tube by PROvider Tackle - 

And it fits nicely.

Good video. Thanks Glenn. I agree 100% about the jig heads. I make my own, and have found a ball head works best for stupid rigging. I cast them using the Do-it screw lock flat eye shake it mold, cast without the screw lock. The VMC 7328 hook works great. 3/0 for 3.5" tubes and 4/0 for 4" tubes. 

The stupid tube is my favorite bait for fishing structure. It comes through chunk rock great, and when it does hang up it can usually be popped loose. It'll catch them all year, but really shines in spring and fall.
