Betts Bleeder Tubes 1.5" 10ct Green/Yellow/Red

The Betts Bleeder Tubes are soft-plastic crappie lures designed to match the natural forage that panfish feed on throughout the year. These 1.5-inch tubes come in a 10-count pack with three high-visibility color options—green, yellow, and red—so you can match hatch conditions or experiment with what's working on any given day. Whether you're fishing shallow brush, dock pilings, or open water structure, bleeder tubes are a proven choice for both slab crappie and smaller sunfish species.

What makes bleeder tubes effective is their simple profile and lifelike action in the water. The thin, tapered design creates subtle movement that triggers strikes from cautious crappie, especially when fished on light jigs or tied to small hooks. The color variety included in each pack means you're not limited to one option—swap between green and yellow on sunny days, then shift to red when light is low or water gets stained. Because you get ten in a pack, you've got enough to experiment, lose a few to snags, and still have backups for your next outing.

Crappie fishing rewards anglers who carry multiple bait options and aren't afraid to test different presentations. These soft tubes are compact enough to fill a tackle box without taking up much room, yet versatile enough to handle a wide range of seasonal conditions and water clarity. Stock a few packs and you'll have a go-to lure ready whenever panfish are biting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size hook should I use with Betts Bleeder Tubes?

These 1.5-inch tubes are designed for small jigs and hooks typical of crappie fishing. Check the package recommendations or consult with your local tackle shop for the best match to your specific rig setup.

When should I fish green, yellow, or red?

Yellow and green tend to work well in clear, sunny conditions and during bright daylight. Red and darker hues can be more visible in stained or low-light water. Having all three colors in one pack lets you match conditions and experiment until you find what's producing on your water.

Are bleeder tubes good for crappie in brush and structure?

Yes—their small profile and natural action make them ideal for fishing tight spots around docks, brush, timber, and submerged structure where crappie like to hide.
