    Tube baits. Who makes and cuts their own?

    I'd like to get some made with softer plastic in 3.75 inch long, But only cut the tails 1 1/2 long. Leaving a full 2.25 inch of un cut body. And I need the hollow to go all the way to the head... No solid head for flipping hooks. I'm wanting the dark green pumpkin pepper with less colorant to be a little translucent and lot's of blue hi lights.

    Willing to pay or trade baits... Hoping to have these for a tournament on June 21...

    Thanks.... IM me if you like and we can trade numbers...

    I know every brand plastic is different, Maybe your medium is soft enough? I have 1000's of nice tubes, But too durable/stiff/thick for rigging stupid style and good hook ups. I'm looking for something more flexible/collapsible.

    Do you have a pic of the color you are looking for? I made a few for myself tonite to practice with the dipping rods. This is blue base and sparse blue flake, with dark green pumpkin pepper (black and sparse red flake) overdid. Super soft. they are not cut to your length specs. I just did a small sample pour with some 3" vauts for myself.
