I do! I like the Lake Fork Craw tube and for the Strke King tube. I usually only use them in and around beds in the spring.

Used to flip 7" tubes in the west on lakes that had Trout stocked

I wish Strike King still made their tube lizard. Big fish loved that bait.

Lake Fork Tackle used to make the best flipping tube in my opinion, LFT Craw Tube. Bass Pro and Big Bite makes a knock-off, but they aren't the same.

If anyone has any in black neon I wouldn't use them in the flooded, muddy brush right now. You might get "broke arm syndrom". smile

Not exactly sure what defines BIG tubes, but you might want to check with Canyon Plastics...Giant Toro Gitzit Tubes...they make 8 and 10 inch versions with some great colors choices.

About the biggest I throw are the Reaction Innovations Boom Booom tube. I like the YUM VibraKing too.

Yep. Just not the same as LFT. Ronnie said he would have some made, but a minimum of 1000 in same color.

The craw tube was the best. My partner wore me out quite a few times fishing them when I was to stubborn to put one on

Why would Lake Fork Tackle stop making this bait?

Ish Monroe won a elite tournament on Amistad bed fishing with the giant Tora tube.

Lake Fork tackle never made those tubes. They bought them, added garlic scent and repackaged them and I liked using theirs the most because of the garlic scent. Lake Fork Tackle still has some of these tubes but in only a few colors. Fantastic tube to pitch with. I also use Yum Vibra King tubes.
