We sort through lots of hand-dipped tubes, only selecting the best and "culling" the rest!  "Most" of our culls get rejected for being slightly smaller (diameter) than our standard stupid tube, but still good looking baits.  Some of those smaller tubes end up a little more pointed in the nose, but totally functional.  You may see drips or bumps from time to time in a pound, but the baits are all totally suitable for taking out of the package and catching fish!  The most common question we get when customers look through our "seconds" is, "What is wrong with these tubes...I don't see a problem!"  It seems like they fish don't care one bit either.  We've decided to make these "seconds" available in 25 counts only.  

Common Problems:

A "little" small:

A "little" pointy:
