Does anybody know a reference or list giving weights for any soft plastic baits?
I'd be most interested to see how different manufacturer's tube baits compare.
Plastics weight?
Re: Plastics weight?
I've weighed some tubes. What brands of tubes are you interested in?
Curious as to why you desire weight of the tubes. I do fish Reaction Innovations Boom Boom 5.0 tubes because they are heavy (0.49 oz.) weightless or with a 1/16th oz. weight over pads

It's just a me-thing, I need to know the weight of everything I tie on. I don't have as long a history with plastics as I do other baits to get a feel of whose are heavier or lighter for the size.

Re: Plastics weight?
I'd recommend you purchase a small pocket digital scale. I picked one up off Amazon for less than $10 and am quite pleased with it.
Just check user feedback on the products before you "click to buy". The "cheapie" I bought (M-500 Fast Weigh) got great reviews and is very accurate.
As new rods hit the stores, I'm weighing them....

- Many smaller rod companies are now listing the weight of their rods... you could just google it.
