Welcome Brent https://www.muskyshop.com/jerkbaits-plastics/red-october-10-monster-tube-series/
I have tried to dip with limited sucsses. The trick is you need a lot of plastic a something deep enough to dip vertically my problem was I didn’t make the head thick enough. I checked with a guy and I designed a mold but didn’t want to pay $750 for a one cavity mold.

I looked around also, I found an all white one, looking for pink head and white tail, and it is all for a Christmas joke. We hit a class A musky lake earlier this year and everyone threw, trolled, dragged, drifted for musky for about a day, the next day we moved to crappie fishing and as you would have guessed we picked up 2 musky over 48" and pink and white crappie tubes.

since its for a gag you could get a couple of the all white tubes, and a bottle of spike it dip-n-glo hot pink and paint them pink.

That’s a good idea but you should dip in clear plastic to seal it spike it likes to bleed.

  I see that all the time on my home lake. Guy's targeting them for days and only see follows. We have a bass tournament and 8 or 10 guys catch one pitching the banks.
