I've heard of some fellas liking them, but not that they actually worked better than others.

One of my very good friends had me make some 4" senkos with coffee in them and he swears by them. I swear by them too, but in a different way because he's used them to beat me out of a 1st place check on two occasions this year.

From the information I gathered this year. I would say that it would be worth buying 1 package in your favorite color and try them out. My belief woulld be that the worst you could do is "the same".

This reminds me I bought a package of them in the spring and have yet to try them.

Caffeinated or decaf?

Me too, I think I have a couple bags I have never tried.

Watermelon/red were good to me in the shorter size for smallies this year. The watermelon is a bit darker than standard watermelon. In the 4 1/4" is used the green pumpkin/chartreuse for flipping and had good success with them. The reason I got them at first was because they have a solid head for texas rigging, but the fish really ate them. I'll stay with them.

I also completely forgot that we have coffee scent that we can add to the baits too. I think we tried it once and if you put enough in so that the scent doesn't cook out it makes the colors a little darker, but so do the other scents to some degree.

I have fished the coffee tube a lot this year.  Excellent product.  They are every bit as good as the ISG Dream Tubes.  Certain colors for certain water colors.

They work great for smallies in the Grand River!!

[TritonTR20]

recommend any particular colors for st. clair?

I don't like them that much.  They are a great tube, but I don't like the coffee scent.  I used them on beds this spring and regular BPS tubes worked better.  I only gave it a few hours and that was enough for me.
