Southern Pro Tri-Color L'il Hustler 1.5" 10ct Red/Black/Chartreuse

Crappie tube baits have been a go-to choice for serious panfish hunters for generations, and the Southern Pro L'il Hustler 1.5" delivers exactly what modern crappie anglers need. This 10-count pack gives you three proven colors—red, black, and chartreuse—so you can adapt to changing light, water clarity, and seasonal patterns without swapping tackle boxes. The classic tube profile mimics the natural forage crappie feed on, triggering strikes from both white crappie and black crappie in ponds, lakes, and reservoirs.

At 1.5 inches, these tubes are small enough to cast easily on light spinning gear and finesse rods, yet substantial enough to hold a jig head securely and fish at multiple depths. Whether you're working shallow timber in spring, suspended fish in summer, or deeper structure come fall, tube baits flex and contract in the water column in ways that entice strikes. The three-color assortment means you can match conditions: red and chartreuse pop in stained water and low light, while black excels in clear shallows or when crappie are keying on small baitfish.

Drop a tube on a 1/16- or 1/8-ounce jig head and you've got a rig that works year-round for crappie tournaments and casual bank fishing alike. Southern Pro's tube baits hold up through multiple fish and casts, so a 10-pack delivers solid value for days on the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What jig head size works best with 1.5-inch crappie tubes?

A 1/16- or 1/8-ounce jig head pairs well with L'il Hustler tubes, depending on depth and current. Lighter heads work shallower and in slack water; 1/8-ounce gives you better casting distance and depth control in deeper structure.

Are these tubes good for both white crappie and black crappie?

Yes. The classic tube design and color options are effective for both species across a range of water types and seasons.

How many colors come in each 10-count pack?

This pack includes three colors—red, black, and chartreuse—in a 10-count mix, giving you multiple options to match water conditions without buying separate packs.

Can I use these tubes for other panfish species?

The 1.5-inch tube is designed specifically for crappie. While small enough that other panfish might strike, results and durability are optimized for crappie fishing.
