Adam,
I'm not really partial to any style, brand, or color of tube, but in situations with current or if fishing from the back of the boat I appreciate a texas rig'd tube. Seams to attact some big bites and works better in stained water with the bead and weight clicking together calling fish in. If anything else, I simply enjoy t-rig'd tubes because I fish more than I re-tie. You may miss more bites on small fish, but if you rig it properly and use a thin walled tube, the big ones hook up just fine.
Jerry's Tubes. 3.5 in smoke w/purple/gold flake.
They pretty much are all the same, I usually use a BPS tube for smallies the 50 packs usually go on sale every year and thats when I buy, they are hard to beat, I use the tender tube and the flipping tube for smallies. For Largies I am a die hard reaction innovation boom boom tube guy.
Like Ron, Reaction Innovations Boom Boom tubes for green is my standby.
For brown, I've used a bunch of different types, but my new favorite is the Bass Kickin' Baits Tubes from Les Whitley.
The tube is so versatile, and so should your weight selection, 1/32 oz to 1/2 oz. are the weights I use for my tubes for texas rigging. It all depends how, what, where and when you are fishing them, and that is a whole other topic in itself that I would rather dive into.
Light enough to not pass fish by and heavy enough to get your tube where fish live, would probably be the best answer for you.

thank you for all the help and i think i will try t-rigging one next time i go out. Tubes are my main bait and i always want to get better also what size weight and hook do you use when t-rigging your tubes.
rzone 3 rivers marine in woodenville carries a few of my tubes. send me an email of what you are looking for. Also my 5.5" tube is incredible for flippn.
And yes thanks Jordan for using my baits and dont forget look for some custom one of a kind baits that will be sold only at 3 rivers marine. They should be on the shelves this weekend or early next week. Heres a hint of the baits 6" floating,wacky,edible.
