The bait that won Denny Brauer the '98 Classic! Strike King®'s innovative Flip-n-Tubes feature a special patent-pending head which has 1/2'' of solid plastic to hold your hook and a screw-lock sinker in place as well as increase durability. The salt-impregnated Flip-n-Tube's hollow body traps air giving it a more lifelike feel and was designed for flipping in heavy cover.

Great TubeThese work very well. They are the correct length and the solid head helps keep the hook in the right place and makes the bait last longer. I only wish Strike King would bring back the Bleeding Bait Flip-n-Tubes, nothing better

Best tube on the marketYears ago, I was given some Bass tubes for flipping. They had hard solid noses, thick tubes and were black and white mixed. I have no idea of the brand, but after describing them to the Bass Pro guys, they handed me some of the Strike King flip-n-tubes.
I was amazed, these were exactly like the tubes I used as a kid. I fish tubes more than any other plastic bait in my tackle box. I use tubes as trailers for Jigs and not all tubes will work with jigs. They have to have a very thick hard nose to hold. These Strike Kings work perfectly. They are coated in heavy salt which I love too. The color variety is minimal. I would like to see more options for different settings or waters, but for now the ones I have work very well. I have been having the best luck on the shad colored model. These are like crank to Large Mouth Bass. The action of these is amazing.
For the larger 4.5" tubes, you will want to go with a 5/0 or even a 6/0 hook. I prefer the wide gap hooks with the pin welded on to hold the tube. They seem to make the tubes last much longer. One thing to keep in mind is, these tubes are thicker than some of the other brands. Make sure you have a good hook set to punch the point through the tube.
Tubes are a very versatile bait to throw. They can be pitched, flipped, used as trailers, drug across the bottom, thrown into weeds or just reeled in. There really is no wrong way to fish a tube. These are great kid baits too. They don't snag up very often and they produce. Give these tubes a shot. You wont be disappointed.

Another optionLove this as an option to either a jig or creature bait when fishing heavy cover or reeds. Provides a bit of a darting action as well that the other two can't provide. The solid head really helps keep the bait in place when it catches up of the cover as well. But, like all tube baits, if you don't rig it absolutely straight, you end up with line twist. Overall though, I really like this bait.

Flippin tube !I like the design that Strike King put into these flippin tubes. The solid rubber head comes in handy for holding your hook in place or if you want to use a screw & lock hook also. I usually toss these in thick vegetation to try and entice those lunker bass to strike. These tubes have solid weight to them so they will fall through that thick matted grass. Strike King offers plenty of colors for any application you might need them for. I like the bleeding tubes because the tails are a blood red color and I get good results from them. Buy some, you will not regret it !!!!!

FLIPPIN NITEMAREFLIPPIN NITEMARE is right these are great for fishing the spawning bass on there beds and flippin. texas rigged is the best try to rig weightless but if wieght is needed i usually dont go over a 1/4 oz or a 2/0 hook try to get as close as u can to a crawfish color or for the big smallmouth try anyhting goby really anything black, blue, watermelon or a shad color is the best. get two packs there worth it.

great tubethese are great lures, they are really good for flippin (probably why they are called flippin tubes). I like the junebug color and I flip it into pads or wood and I watch my line the whole time. I let it sink to the bottom, hop it up about 1 inch off the bottom and let it sink again. Watching my line this whole time, I just do that a few times, and flip back in. Great techinque that catches big bass.

pretty Good tubesThis tube is very productive for largemouth and smallmouth. i just got back from my yearly trip to lake arrowhead california and they were a huge sucess. the only reason i give them a four is because they are not very durable at all. after maybe 3 to 5 fish i had to change but other than that they are a really good tube.

Great tube!This is a great tube, however, I wouldn't recommend it for flipping, or any rig where the hook has to go into the bait (ex. texas rig, carolina rig, etc). This bait is not very durable, which is why I use it almost religiously for tube jigs, which is just inserting a jighead into the cavity of the bait so the hook sticks out of the end of it. The best technique is to hop it across the bottom. It also tends to have a better fall action than traditional texas or carolina rigs. This is one of my favorite tubes, and since it's on sale right now, I say stop reading this and buy it! There is no better tube for the price! I fish ONLY the colors black neon (38) and green pumpkin (46). Those are the ONLY colors I will EVER use. They are sure not to dissapoint. I fish it on 15lb. Seaguar INVIZX fluorocarbon, a G. Loomis BronzeBack 7'4" M power spinning rod and Team Daiwa Fuego spinning reel, and it is the PERFECT combo for fishing river smallmouths!
Does anyone know where I can find clear with red flake 3 1/2" salt tubes? I've been everywhere online and in every store.

Right here on BPS they sell the strike king salt coffee tubes in that size and color. the coffee helps mask human and plastic scent. great extremely versatile tube for fresh or salt.
