I have found over the years that trying different techniques on different days increases your hook up rates. I make all my own tubes. I have tubes that corkscrew, tubes that run straight, tubes that swim and weighted and unweighted tubes. All in many assorted colors and in lengths from 14" to 35". They all catch fish you just have to try them until you find out what the fish want. Don't always fish them on the bottom either. If they are not biting on the bottom try bringing them up. Lately I have caught more fish in the upper half of the water column. To go slow I just trim the motor up and put my trim tabs all the way down. Buckets are a pain in the butt. One day I saw a guy trolling what I considered way to fast for tubes but he was hooking up every few minutes. Just shows you have to experiment and put your time in. Rod selection is very important too. A soft tip will give you better movement of the tube. good luck. P.M.
