Hoop,
We started trolling tubes maybe 10 years ago w/ leadcore.. ent to wire (stainless, monel, the new inconel) and are slowly drifting back to leadline.. easier and more fun.. still troll 'chutes with wire though.. Everyone above made good points, but remeber to KISS (Keep it simple stupid!) I troll weighted tubes in deep water (35-50ft) and unweighted ot light weight in shallow waters... no spinners, no keels, no 50' leader.. just about 8ft of 40lb mono and a tube connect the leader to the tube with a HIGH quality swivel or you'll be sorry.. I dont troll as much as we used to, prefer eels at night in shallow water, but at times in the summer its the only way to get big bass.. Go Slow, Go Low and if you aint hanging and losing a tube occasionally, go slower and lower....
