| Chuck thats a great project to keep you busy while recovering nice combo of colors  I have a friend who makes some tubes he makes his 16" and 24" i ran many test running a 16 on one side of the boat and the 24 on the other side some days the the 24 out fished the 16 . He puts a twist in the wire so the tubes swims like a snake,,some peple just put a bend in the tube i found the twist out catches the other plain brand. I could give you a sample to see how these look and you be the judge..... The worm on the end is what they are really after i tryed plain no worm i tryed berkley power bait worms they do catch but not as well a s the real thing ,The rag worms that are on the market really work great the green goo inside the worm seems to turn the bass on this is just my opinon good luck ......

| I use weights in front of my tubes if i,m really deep water 30 feet plus even then i,m still fishing with leadcore line If you want to fishwith a weight in deep water with no gear why not use a downrigger its metered and you know how deep your tube is. Up here in Boston and the cape We fish ny lobster pots cause thats where the bass are, using a weight on frony of a tube with all that gear can be a problem especially if thgat rudder wraps a pot line, Again leadcore is simply the easiest wat to fish a tube for big badd over structure hope this helps SANTINi | ||

| Chuck, I tie the Fluro directly to the swivel on the tube. The tubes have to have good swivels. I use 4-5 fet of fluro with an egg sinker on the fluro. Then tie the fluor with the tube and egg attached directly to another bal bearing swivel (Not a snap). Has worked just as god as the Keel. | ||

| Pete, Thanks. I was thinking approx 5'/color but haven't trolled with leadcore in years. Been using braid last 5 or so years and use a drail if we're trying to get down real deep. Agree with the turns, we usually troll tubes in a lazy "s" pattern and watch the inside rod as that tube drops.
