Dixon Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I bought some the other day at BP Macon. Never fished a tube in my entire life. So how do you fish this baits? Quote
Skunked in DR Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 They're good, like anything sometimes the fish love 'em, sometimes they want a different tube. T rigged or on a jig head. Drag it slowly across the bottom. Quote

rondef Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I bought some from Dicks and I will be trying them this spring when I go smallie fishing. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 23, 2009 Super User Posted January 23, 2009 I bought a pack when I ran low on my usual tubes I drag for S.M., they worked........no better, or worse than what I usually use (Zoom), but I would use them again and probably will. Quote
Btech Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Im assuming these are soft plastic? Does bass pro carrie them? Im a big fan of strike Kings line but havnt noticed them before. Quote
Dixon Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 Yes they are soft plastics. Bass Pro carries them. Going to try them out today. Quote
BassBandit35 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Nope I haven't. What's next? Bacon and eggs scented. Quote
Btech Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Im waiting for Homemade Spegetti to go with my Garlic Bread .... or Milk for the PB N J Quote
Branuss04 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I prefer using them in the morning, the bass seem to love them then : Quote
reo Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I have used them and to me they do not seem any better than any other tube. A nice tube but the coffee thing thing may be a little over-rated, IMO, kinda like a grape flavored worm : Quote
Btech Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Do they come in De-caff? (Sorry I had to) Quote
Bad to da Bass Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 HAHA ;D we may never know. I like to rig them on a Owner Phantom Tube Hook and drag them along the bottom. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 23, 2009 Super User Posted January 23, 2009 At the Richmond Fishing Expo, Kevin VanDam told us the story of how Strike King decided to use the coffee scent. You guys who were there please correct if I am incorrect on some of the story as I remember it. Kevin said that while the guys were trying new baits someone threw coffee, or coffee grounds, into the water and the minnows just congregated on the coffee. So they threw coffee in the water a second time to see what would happen and once again the minnows went nuts. The research guys went to work and created a line of coffee scented baits. I have purchased the OCHO Watermelonseed 8-pack and the OCHO Okeechobee Craw 8-pack in the coffee scent at Green Top and can't wait to give them a try. You guys go out and get some and try your luck and we can report back on how they work this fishing season. Quote
Btech Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Ok gona try these out this week ya sold me with the minnow story Tell mr KVD to make cream and sugar additives to go with them Quote
dmac14 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I've used them quite a bit, worked great for fishing on beds. My friend was using a different brand and i out fished him 3 to 1. They last long and the coffee scent sticks with them, great for t-rigging. Quote
hawgchaser Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I liked these tubes but have no idea if the scent helps. They are fairly durable, have 2 sizes and a good color selection. Quote
gabes Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Don't buy the Goby color. The tube has kind of a purple top and green pumkin bottom and looks good. The only problem is the purple top is laminated on the tube and it peels off like a decal after use. I peeled off the others and use them as my green pumpkin color. I like the Mizmo tubes better.

James Williams Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I have used them here in florida and have found that there really is no difference from others. Its more of a flavor thing like garlic and stuff. it may have the fish hold on for a few more seconds but so will other flavors. 8-) Quote
Btech Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Well after cracking a few jokes i decided to get a few packs and test them out. I didnt get any bites but I do like them ... dont ask but they dont taste like coffee The bass at my local pond must preferr Decaff - Great looking and pretty tough. Anyone thought about running these on a Jig? I know that sounds crazy but i put one on today to see how it looked and it slowed down the drop quite a bit I know its unusual but so is a wackey right right? Thats how things get started. Quote
Cire Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I tried them for SM fishing some last Oct, fishing the Mississippi just below a dam in St. Cloud, MN. Minnows were ruling the day but later I was casting out into the main current and cranking it out like a swimbait and jigging it through the slack. Anyway, I ended up catching a 6lb Walleye on one just as it was coming out of the main current. That ended the day! I will be trying them again this year (for bass not walleye) to see how they produce. Eric Quote
Izzy3374 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 No but I watched Shaw Grigsby on TV slamming smallies with em' Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted March 18, 2009 Super User Posted March 18, 2009 I prefer using them in the morning, the bass seem to love them then : Oh well, there goes my line. Great minds run in the same channel, or fools think alike? Quote
andamtoft Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Personally, they are my favorite tube. Despite the argument on weather the bass enjoy the coffee scent, the fact is that the coffee masks the human scent which is always a plus. But the reason i like them is because their action is great and are extremely durable. Quote
Banor Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I really like the Snack Daddy tubes and Poor Boy's tubes but I thought I might just try these SK Coffee tubes this year. I've heard good things about them. B Quote
