i've been making my own tubes...i use a swivel knotted to the wire...i believe it's a haywire twist... (which runs through the tube) just above a egg weight....then another snap swivel attached from my leader to the tube swivel...give the tube a bit of a twist before putting it in. watch the action from the side of the boat in a little depth and you'll be suprised.....also...a little hint it you make our own tubes....be sure to drill 3/8 holes on each side of the tube to allow the water that fills the tube to drain....hence...the motion.....black or dark colored tubes on bright days....bright colored tubes on overcast or fog.....and don't forget a big old sand worm on the second hook for scent...just my opinion...good luck......jim
