Tubes

I want to spend more time fishing tubes could someone recommend some colors
to start out with and also some brands?

Pat,
I do agree that name's don't mean much, but I will only use a tube
that is salted. Crooked Creek, Shueberts, some Bass Pro Shops Tender
Tubes and my favorite, Phoenix Tubes, are all salted. I have found that
you can get away with some pretty basic colors to start with, then
experiment as you gain confidence. I prefer green pumpkin in dirty
water (I'll dip the tails chartruese in extremely muddy water) and
watermelon (with black flake) in clear water. You can play around with
the various subtle changes to these two colors, but this is what works
for me. I prefer the 3 1/2" size to start with and gain a limit or when
we have extremely blue skies and very slick water. I'll use the 4" to
gain that kicker fish or when the water has some color to it. For
