    I still have and use the Arkie Panfish assortment I won here on crappie.com contest forum some years back...most colors work pretty good in these parts...Haven't tried them with 1/16 oz. as I don't think they would fit inside, but they work great with 1/32 oz. heads. When I need more weight I squeeze on a split shot about 18" up. Works pretty good for me...

    Or simply use a 10ml oral medication syringe to do the same thing.

    Mid South, Bass Pro and Southern Pro tubes are about all I use tube wise.

    i like Arkie solid tubes sometimes when the fish are mean because they are durable on a ball head jig .
    i don't insert tubes like shown because it is to difficult to change colors .
    and baits when they get worn out .
    i like the crème tubes ok but they tear pretty easy .
    i also used some tri color tubes before that i am not sure who makes that i really liked .

    Midsouth Tubes. They have a bigger "head" that fits the barb better. To me they are more durable and you can't beat the price.

    Went out today in hot summer of SoCal it is about 102 degrees. They seem to like anything slow moving, so I picked marabou jig and tube with tail of trout worm jigging along the bottom. Caught about 5 plus bonus bass but missed quite a lot. I’m not sure if my hookset or my hook is not sharp enough. I might have to invest in good files. BTW my old tube last about 20 crappies and started to give in. I still think it last a lot longer than other plastic on jig head (without super glue).

    Default Crappies tube revisited.

    Southern Pro has about the best selection of size and color
    The stores are selling less and less tubes for some reason.
    So I have to order directly from Southern Pro.
