    Goby Tubes... When will someone on BBC make them?

    This may be more of a great lakes bait, But they are a huge food base for our fish.

    I bet my heads into these tube baits would work well...

    BPS used to make a tube in their XPS series that looked just like a goby. Of course, I had to buy some. I think I have yet to catch a fish on them. I still prefer a simple watermelon or green pumpkin tube.

    I think you may be talking about the old "Tender Tubes"... They had eyes on them that fell off and had no fins... Not really just like a goby... I could be wrong.... Please post some pics of what you have or are talking about.

    The ones I am thinking of had a small fin on the back, but no pectoral fins. And, yes the eyes fell out on the first cast! I don't have any left of the one pack that I bought. I think I threw them away a few years ago.

    I remember the small dorsal fin... No pectorals. Yep those were the ones I had some of... Super thin body. The thick tubes are most desireable for the fishing around me... I threw out my tender tubes years ago as well.

    I saw those and will probably end up getting some, I've got two tournaments up in Door County yet this year. That being said, I've tried almost every soft plastic goby out there and I still do better with a football head shoved up in a tube.

    You could get a great spiral fall on those if you took off one peck fin!

    That really gives it a goby profile!

    Thanks.... But the question was about goby shaped tubes, similar to the ones I posted... I'm aware of all the other goby lures.

    Me too. Been doing that for years. A 3/4oz football head gives any tube a nice goby profile.
