My main tube color is green pumpkin with black flake.  In the last several years there has been a lot or red mentioned even to red hooks.  So I got to thinking would a very good tried and proven bait be even better if it had a bit of red added to it.

Here are some tubes.  The top one is what I buy the other two I made this morning in the garage while Red was reading the paper.

I second that.


Valentine Tube 

I third it.

Now for your clear lakes throw some purple in that GP.

Then make some smoke purple ones.

After your done with that mail them to me.

A lot of guys use the gp with purple after the spawn.  I always have stuck the the gp/blk glitter.  Do you mean purple instead of the red or both?

Smoke/purple.  That is a unique idea.  Do you mean smoke bodies with purple flake?

JM, sometimes when the water is stained, usually when it's a little warmer too this color (green pumpkin green flake) is sometimes the difference between catching some or not on post frontal days. Here's a sample look at  the color....

Maybe it'll work that way for your tubes
