Brands won't matter much, but size & color will. Also technique is more
important than both ! A 3-4 inch watermellon tube with copper, red, or
black flake is probably the #1 choice in Mich. with many anglers. Also
try a white or pearl tube with nothing but a 3ought hook in dead calm
water & let it slow spiral downward. Fish with an exposed hook in
weedless conditions & an Owner bullit head hook if your comming through
weeds or wood. good luck

Brand name doesn't mean much....... how do you lie with a straight sentence
(we can't see you face). You know Crooked Creek Salt Tubes are #1. Dark
Melon/Copper Flake, Pumkin Pepper, Pearl White Silver Flake, Smoke with Blue
Flake are my favorites, but good old BLACK works in all conditions, and
anytime.

Brand Name doesn't matter.............Just for that, I'm going to have Seth
Pull your Order and no you cannot use Shuberts either - bad boy.

If there's a liar around here we all know who it is !!!!!

Another way to rig them weedless.
Place a casting sinker inside the tube with the eye of the sinker going
into the tube first. Then take a wide gap hook and texas/texpose rig it
making sure the hook runs through the eye of the sinker. This works
really well because the sinker keeps the hook from pulling out of the
tube and the hook keeps the sinker from pulling out.
If this doesn't make sense, maybe I can post a link to some pictures or
explain a little better.

Back to the original question. I like the Yum vibra tubes and Zoom,
although I picked up some Rattlesnake tubes for $0.62 that look pretty
good. White, pumpkin seed, and watermelon seed have been good to me,
but like Marty said I'm sure there are a million colors that work.

Use a dart head in the tube.

How do you fish the jigs weedless? Texas Rigged??

Texas rig is one way to fish a tube weedless. So is using a ball jig and
putting it in hook first and poking it through the bottom while leaving
enough room for the head to butt against the nose of the tube and then
skinning the tube to protect the hook point. Or, you can buy ball jigs with
wire weed guards.
