Tube Soft Plastic for Bass Lures

Tube soft plastics are known for their somewhat unique tentacles.

Tube soft plastics are important to:

Mimic Forage: Some suggest a tube soft plastic can be used to mimic a crayfish when dragged and potentially a baitfish when hopped.

Common Sizes: 2.5 to 4 inches.
Distinguishing Features: It is fat, relatively short and generally a simple profile.
Enabling Lure Action: Generally, the soft plastic enables the lure’s circling or irregular action on the fall.
Vibration: Some suggest the tentacles make subtle vibrations.
Floating Modifications: Some suggest stuffing the tube with ear protection pieces or some other buoyant material for example when rigged on a carolina rig or drop shot.
