The 4.5 Big Dummy Stupid Tube™ : This one was born out of the testing phase of the Flippin’ Stu- pid Tube™ with Terry McWilliams and Matt McCoy. They are two of the most qualified Stupid Tube™ experts you’ll ever meet.

Watch how the Secret Lures™ Stupid Tube™ got its name.

They take tube fishing to the Ph.D. level! Every time we sent them a new batch their response was the same, “These are awesome, BUT, can you make it bigger?” That quest ended when these arrived at their doors. Although we were skeptical of a tube that size, the first trip to the lake proved them right. The Big Dummy is double the inside diam- eter of the Stupid Tube™ and closer to 4.5 inches long. It’s bulky but not long. There are times and places that a tube this size produces quality bites. Rather than shelving them, we did a limited run for folks to try out. What makes them different is that they are big and fat, but not thickly walled. The Big Dummy collapses quickly with minimal pressure and that translates into good hookups. Like the Flippin’ Stupid Tube™, we’re going to let our customers help us decide what colors to make next. For the die-hard Original Stupid Tube fans, we also took care of one of the most common requests! Lots of folks wanted to fish the Stupid Tube™ in deeper water and/or heavier current, which makes sense. We figured out how to squeeze a 1/4 ounce of lead into the 3.7 Stupid Tube™. It makes for a fat head without hindering that proven action. You can now get the 1/4 once version in 3/0 and 4/0 light wire Gamakatsu hooks.
