Mann's new Hardnose Tube is a 4" tube with a 'studded' exterior to disturb the water more so the fish can 'feel' it easier. All Hardnose baits have a head made of a harder soft plastic that keeps the eye of your hook inside the bait (making it more weedless). It also holds your hook or weight better and minimizes tearing making the bait last longer. Another benefit is that it will not slide down and bunch up on the hook when you retrieve it through weeds, brush or reeds and by it not balling up on the hook it ensures a good, solid hookset. All Mann's Hardnose baits also have S.P.I.C.E. fish attractant added to them. The Hardnose Tube comes in pearl/silver flake, smoke/blue-chart-black flake, green pumpkin, watermelon/red flake, black/red flake (pictured), junebug, black/blue flake and rootbeer/green flake. $3.99 for a pack of 8.
