PressuredFishing Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 What is the difference between double and single dipped tubes, or is it just a marketing scheme? 2 Quote
Super User T-Billy Posted July 14, 2021 Super User Posted July 14, 2021 Double dipped are just that, dipped twice.. This gives them thicker walls, and makes them fatter and more durable. I'm not a fan of them personally as I usually rig tubes stupid style, and single dipped or injected give me a better hookup percentage. 4 Quote

Interesting, yeah I'm also wanting to fish them stupid tubed in cover and grass and give it a try! 1 Quote
Super User T-Billy Posted July 14, 2021 Super User Posted July 14, 2021 Stupid tubes come through rock really well, and you can fish wood with them, but they don't come through brush or grass well. For thick cover, I switch to a T-rigged beaver style bait. They'll come through near anything clean, and they have an erratic fall like a tube does. You can T-rig a tube, but a beaver will give you a better hooking percentage. Also make sure the jigheads you select for stupid rigging have an EWG hook. 3 Quote
papajoe222 Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Most ‘flipping’ tunes are double dipped for durability. Although I have fished them on a regular tube jig, the majority of time it’s T-rigged. I’ve gone through most of my inventory of them as I don’t have a lot of confidence in them. I prefer a craw/creature tube for flipping and whether it’s with an exposed hook (my personal preference), or stupid rigged, Iseem to just do better with soft, hand poured tubes. 2 Quote

Okay yeah that makes sense, I have a few creature tubes I will give it a try!
