The Baron Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 I had a great morning using tubes on Lake Ontario. The tubes I had were pre-rigged bargain bin stuff I bought just to try tubes. After catching a Goby (the food of choice for Lake O. smallies) I was impressed at how well this tube matches. Now I’ve looked in the three local shops and can’t find anything that light colored. Can anyone name a tube brand/color that looks like this? It’s much lighter than green pumpkin, which is the next lightest color I have. And oddly enough, “goby” color tubes are even darker. 1 Quote
fin Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Looks like Zoom Pumpkin color with a faded-out chartreuse tail. EDIT: Pumpkin, not Green Pumpkin. 3 Quote
Super User MickD Posted July 17, 2022 Super User Posted July 17, 2022 It's not a green. Jann's Netcraft root beer/pepper is a little dark. I've got some tubes about that color, but I cannot find one on line to recommend. Can't believe it , but true. I'd keep looking for pumpkin, as suggested already, or mustard. 2 Quote
spartyon8 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Puke from Bass Pro brand with tails dipped? Looks like the puke tube I throw. 1 Quote
Fish 2live Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Looks like strike king pumpkin/chartreuse, have had some good luck with them. 1 Quote
GRiver Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Might be a stupid tube from secret lure… Cooper head color https://shop.secretlures.com/products/3-7-stupid-tube.html Quote
The Baron Posted July 18, 2022 Author Posted July 18, 2022 I remembered what they were and found them... they're Matzuo rigged salty tubes in "chartreuse". I'll buy something similar if I see them, but it's not critical - we went out again in the evening (same area) and I did every bit as well with Strike King Coffee tubes in green pumpkin. And using XZone 1/4oz. tube jig heads my hookup/landing percentage was much better than with the cheap pre-rigged tubes. 1 Quote
JMac603 Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Looks like a Venom Tubes Broom-Sand Killer color! https://venomlures.com/collections/tubes/products/salt-series-tubes-venom-lures-fishing?variant=40224221069449 Guess I didn't notice the chartreuse tails... 2 Quote

The body is sort of close in color to this Secret Lures Stupid Tube. Hat tip to @GRiver. Dye the tentacles chartreuse and you'll get close. The color is Shad BG Purple 23, ST-37-23. It washes out quickly to what's shown in the pics below. 1 1 Quote
JMac603 Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 FWIW - Venom tubes have a ton of awesome colors. Melon with chartreuse tail and GP with purple tail are some favorites of mine. Quote
