JohnMac Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Hey guys im lookin at getting some tubes for fishing primarily for largemouth bass. What are your guys top producing tubes? Quote
basser89 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Mizmo Big Boy tubes and BPS Magnum Flippin Tubes! Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted April 22, 2009 Super User Posted April 22, 2009 BPS Tender tubes Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted April 22, 2009 Super User Posted April 22, 2009 The hook/head matters most. Or at least the combination of tube and head matter most. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted April 22, 2009 Super User Posted April 22, 2009 This is curious. I've got about 1/2 doz. brands right now and over the years, I've probably tried 2 - 3 times that many. I've never found that it matter one iota! When the tube bite is on, you can throw anything in your tackle box. It will produce. But that's probably just me! Quote
JohnMac Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 Yeah crestliner thats what i've heard from alot of expirenced fisherman but it just goes in one ear and out the other. I keep thinking there has to be a certain tube that works better than others maybe there isnt. I have heard that the gitzit tubes are very good anyone tried em? Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 22, 2009 Super User Posted April 22, 2009 I like to t-rig a Zoom small tube or a BPS large size tube. Quote
MillerTime Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 i like *** disc tubes, haven't tried the smooth tubes yet. venom tubes are pretty good too. Quote
andamtoft Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Strike King Coffee Tubes... Good Color selection and great action. Can't say the scent does anything, it most likely doesn't, but used them all of last season and caught the majority of my bass on them. good luck! Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 22, 2009 Super User Posted April 22, 2009 today Venom, yesterday Zoom, tomorrow.............who knows. Quote
Super User CWB Posted April 22, 2009 Super User Posted April 22, 2009 Lately I've been leaning to Yum's Vibra King. Quote

I've never found that it matter one iota! When the tube bite is on, you can throw anything in your tackle box. It will produce. But that's probably just me! Hmm...That might be true. I rank tubes as one of my top three producers, just below the Fat Ika and Senko. I fish Gitzit, Micro Munch Tackle and Mizmo. 8-) Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 22, 2009 Super User Posted April 22, 2009 I like the 3.5" original gitzits for finesse bass work, and the BPS magnum flippin' tubes for heavy cover. Bluegill, motor oil, white, watermelon, green pumpkin, chartreuse, and root beer are my favorite colors. Quote
twitchfish Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I am a fan of the Strike King Bleeding tubes. They seem thicker that others and have proven more durable for me. I primarily pitch and flip them T-rigged and sometimes stuff the cavity with a foam earplug saturated in whatever scent I have around for a better float. I got a C-rig Rig this winter I plan to float them on also. Found some Wave Worm Tiki Tubes in a clearance bin @ Gander today that felt as though they had a thick head on. Going to pitch those in the rotation too. Twitch Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted April 22, 2009 Super User Posted April 22, 2009 I buy mine in bulk and don't even know the brand. All I know is that with pumpkin seed, melon pepper, black neon, and smoke with a red flake and all of them fat and 4" long I don't need any other tubes. We caught 34 bass today and 33 of them were on m/p and p/s tubes. I get them from BPS and Ztackle. Quote
CatBassin Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I use the Strike King Coffee Tubes. Started using them last year and had hits on them when nothing else would. I rig them t-rigged with a 3/0 off-set or tube heads. Quote
