Yum Lures YT4165 Tube Bait – Melon Candy, 4-inch

Overview

YUM CO a 4 inch YT4165 Tube is crafted from supple-but-tough soft plastic that anglers rely on for resilience and real feel. The Melon Candy color blends naturally in both stained and clear water, while an attractant is built into the plastic to encourage bass to engage and hold on long enough to set the hook. This combination supports a confident, versatile approach for shorelines, docks, and open water.

Designed for rigging on internal jigheads, this tube bait also suits crappie and other panfish, expanding your options on light tackle. The undulating tentacles impart a lifelike flutter that imulates a feeding baitfish, whether you are drifting, slow-rolling, or ticking the bottom in deeper zones.

Key benefits at a glance

Practical uses and technique ideas
