I'm with Santa on this one. I have never done well with tubes. Maybe I'm fishing them wrong. But I've always done well with curly tail grubs. You almost can't fish them wrong. You can fish them like a plastic worm, you can swim them, you can add a spinner, I've caught fish different ways with them.
Right now, I'm having success with the 2" tubes when I'm out crappie fishing. I use Bass Pro Shops Squirming Squirts in the black/chartreuse variety on a jig head that I've actually gotten off of a beetlespin black/chartreuse 1/8 oz set up. I put a silver sparkle crappie nibble on the hook as well.
I cast them out, count to five, and I do a slow retrieve in about ten to twelve feet of water. I caught seventeen my last time out using this method.
However, with that said, I'm about to adjust to using live minnows because it's getting increasingly hotter where I live and the crappie are moving deeper and are reacting better to live baits according to my friends.

I like the curly tail,more action than tubes.
Start with the larger curly grubs first then downsize to see what'll bite.
I'm a big fan of curly tails.
Curly tails on any type soft plastic work well and it is just plain hard to beat grubs even without a curly tail. I am just not a big fan of tubes.
