Some guys spin tubes a little, some allot and some like no spin. I have caught lots off bass all three ways. Bottom line...put the tube in front of the fish.

As for slowing the boat down forget the buckets off the back. You will forget about them and they will end up in the prop. Get a 24" sea anchor and a length of line. Troll this from your bow cleat to about half way down your hull and another tag line shorted up to the side as to keep relatively in one spot. This is soft, works better than buckets and since it is in front of the screw(s) will never get fouled.
