Sorry, I can't help you as I have no experience with Leadcore, or "tube 'n worm". I've used wire line on umbrella rigs though, and it seems to me leadcore would be more forgiving.

I do have a question though. I have a kayak. "Worm trolling" is a viable technique for shallow water locally, but "tube 'n worm" is a New England phenomena as far as I can tell. Fish are fish, and I'm fairly certain the technique would work here. At the speeds my kayak travels, perhaps it would work well. (I'm a slow paddler)

Can you describe the setup? Is the tube a commercial item? Hook size/style ...etc?

Thanks in advance,

Flounder
