I do better with a spinning tube.

To keep the line from twisting I use a large trolling rudder between my braided line and leader. Since I started to make my own tubes, I switched from a large single swivel to a bead-chain swivel at the head of the tube. Using 4 strands of 22 gauge SS wire helps the latex tube hold a good shape. It goes through the water like a corkscrew.

My last couple hookups have been as the tube is dropping from the cast or as I'm cornering so I think that the low and slow theory is a good one.

To slow down I just paddle slower.
