Another truly unique offering from Yum, the Yum Vibra King tube brings a new level of realism to a classic bait. Poured with a fully-injected ribbed body to produce a unique feel and displace water, the Vibra King gives fish something new to look at. The solid head holds up to multiple fish catches and allows the angler to rig it a few different ways rather than just use an internal tube head. Flip it, pitch it, punch or, or drag it; either way, you're sure to catch!

When I initially got these tubes, I was pretty annoyed. They do NOT follow the normal design of classic plastic tube. The biggest problem is that the nose of the tube is solid lump of plastic and existing tube jig weighted hooks aren't going to work with them.
Aside from the plastic nose, they have a bigger profile - which may not be negative, but it puts you on notice that these aren't your grandpa's tubes. They also have ridges which I think add to the durability and possibly to the action of the lure.
I struggled to find a rig that I liked. Getting bullet weights with keeper screws is expensive. Using toothpicks to lock the bullet weight in place can't be good for the line, so I said no to that. Going without a weight takes away from the spiraling action that the tube provides.
Ultimately, I ended up using EWG hooks and rigging them in a weedless style. The big chuck of leading plastic makes it pretty easy to do this. And weedless trumps open hooks, so I like this change a lot.
For a weight, I ended up going with VMC nail weights (VMC Neko Weight is how they are sold here). I cut each weight into 3 pieces. When cut into thirds, the weight can be inserted going across the body of the tube. I position the weight well away from the hook and force it into the body so the lure will land nose-down on the bottom. It should also spiral properly. You should be able to move the weight to widen or tighten the spiral the tube makes as it descends.
It took me like 6 weeks to finally get happy with this tube. It takes a little more effort to rig than a normal tube, but sometimes bigger is better and sometimes going weedless is mandatory. It is a good addition my tacklebox and I am happy to have it.

Pros
- Can be rigged weedless.
- Can be used as a trailer
Cons
- Weighted hooks, a standard staple of tube jig fishing, probably aren't going to work with these tubes because the first 1/2" (or more) is plastic. These are designed with keeper/owner screws in mind for an external weight.
- Any sort of weight used is probably going to be specialized. I recommend VMC Neko Weights because they are reasonably cost effective compared to other options.
