Default Unsalted/unscented tubes for jigging

Does anyone know where I could order some unsalted/unscented tubes online? I've been looking all over and can't find any larger ones just the mini tubes. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It might just be coincidence but these unscented tubes are covered in a repellent as far as I'm concerned - I find these greasy oily "unscented bulk tubes" from the Fishin' Hole to not work as well as the ones out of the package (like Uncle Jim's) for whatever reason. I do believe fish can smell that and fishing them side by side with other tubes proves it to me time after time.

Sound far fetched ..... Smell your hand after fondling one of those pre-greased unscented magnum tube jigs ..... they stink like used motor oil.

Get them out of the package or online.

I have used the ones from the Fish'n Hole and had great luck with them for lakers at Spray. I tie some green and pink glow in the dark flashabou in them with a stinger hook. They didn't work good. They worked GREAT!!!

That looks like a solid setup for Lakers. The reason I want them unsalted is just so I can use them in the national parks. Thanks for the info guys. I'm gonna order some 3" white ones and try them out.
