ZoomFluke Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 I’m looking to add more stupid tube setups to my arsenal & I don’t want to waste any more money getting the wrong sized stupid jighead or wrong sized tube. (See pic below, having trouble finding a good tube to go with these) I’m wanting a weighted weedless presentation for my tube setups and I’m wanting to know what brand/size tubes people use and what brand/size/weight stupid jig heads to pair with them. I need a finesse (2-3”) weighted weedless tube setup and a normal (3.5”+) weighted weedless setup as well. Sometimes I’ll even use a shaky head setup with tubes and use a a little under 1” of plastic worm inside as my base. If anyone does this and has a favorite set up let me know! Im going to try out the V&M pair on tacklewarehouse. Sounds like their 1/8 3/0 will pair well with the 3.5” tube. As of now, the owner phantom is the only one I’ve found to work well for me. What are some favorite stupid tube set ups you all like to use? 1 Quote
Super User GaryH Posted July 22, 2024 Super User Posted July 22, 2024 I use Secret lures for my stupid tube rigging. Always have great success or luck with them. 2 1 Quote
Rockhopper Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 I prefer Poor Boy's 3" and Secret Lures Stupid Tube plastics, and use exclusively Bite me Tackle Vertical Eye jig heads usually in 1/8 oz and sometimes 1/4 oz if there is current. Also the V&M Smallie tube heads are really nice, but super wide gap does not allow weedless rigging too well even though they claim it excels at that. 1 Quote

Me too, they have great selection of colors. I will add, I use a tube craw from Bass Pro in okeechobee color, they had discontinued the color, great bait. I have 1 and a partial bags left, I savor them like grandma’s cookies. 1 Quote
KCFinesse Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 As far as finesse stupid tubing goes- a vmc weighted wacky hook fits super nice in the gitzit chub. It's 3" but a slimmer profile. - Jared Quote
Brian11719 Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 +1 for secret lures (both the jig heads and the tubes themselves). I personally like the 3/16 oz size jig head. 1 Quote
