Bass Pro Shops makes a very good “fat” 2 3/4” tube. I’ve used it with great success on smallmouths for the past 10 years. Very good selection of colors, too.

River Rock Custom Baits makes several different styles of tubes.

For me, I like the softer tubes, as they just seem to fish differently than tubes made of a more rigid plastic. The softer tubes may not last as long as the ones made from firmer plastic, but I honestly feel like I get more bites when fishing softer plastic tubes. Some of my favorite brands are ISG, Poor Boys and Strike King Coffee Tubes.

I also think that Bass Pro makes some very good tubes. At least I have a lot of success with them.
when you see this on the water stop and say hi.
Folks, some great suggestions from companies I have never heard of that carry GREAT colors and sizes.
So the follow up question to the preferred tubes, is what is everyone's preferred tube head and line tie direction??
Great question I here the 90 degree and then I here the 60 degree strait or flat eye you nailed it MainleySmallmouth
Are you guys rigging these on a tube jighead with an exposed hook? I've tried the stupid tube route and I have missed some fish on those. These is so much bulk compared to the available throat of the hook that I don't get a great positive hook set. I would assume with a small tube, say 2.5", you have to rig those with an exposed hook but curious how you guys do it.
