Hi Mr Kav, Baitcaster and I do alot of tube and worming, we use both mono and lead core line, as for the worm, we insert the hook thru the mouth of the worm down about and inch and out thru the side, most of the time we loose the worm due to a short strike from a fish, which usually makes the worm seperate from where you went thru the worm with the hook. This has happened to us many times. We only leave half of the hook exposed from the tube, we run wire thru the tube and then attach the hook as this is a good thing to have if you run into any blues, even though they may cut thru the tube, they can't cut the wire. We also use a rubber core sinker at the top of the tube, to help get it down, and if we need to get it deeper we use a trolling weight attached to the snap at the top of the tube. The reason we use both mono and lead core is we will troll both rods at the same time, one will run deep and one will run shallow as to locate the fish, this will better your chances. The reel we put the lead core line on has about 30 yards of 50 lb test braided line for backing and 100 yards of lead core. But as Slipknot said you need to see how much line your reel is rated for. Also, when you troll with mono, one of the biggest problems you will get is line twists, big time, so make sure you use really good ball bearing swivels at the top of the tube to cut down on the line twisting so much as you are trolling. Hope this helps!!!!!
