In my opinion, lead core is not required when trolling from a kayak. When I had my kayak I trolled tube and worm with 40lb braid, but if i needed more depth I would clip on a keel weight ahead of the tube and adjust the weight accordingly. The keel weight and a quality swivel will also control line twist.

I like about an 18" tube like T-Man or Santini's, 3 ft of fluorocarbon, and the keel weight in front. As you can see, the keel weight unclips so you can change the size of the weight.

I like that, it is simple and quite effective.

Good looking setup!

I am a legend in my own mind!

It really is quite simple and I believe you can get them pre-rigged like this right from T-Man.

ALL THAT'S MISSING IS A SMALL WAD OF COTTON IN THE HOOK END TO HOLD IN THE COUPLE OF SAND WORMS YOU STUFF INSIDE FOR SCENT. I'VE HEARD A FEW DROPS OF POGIE OIL WORKS AS WELL.

I LOVE it when MY WIFE lets me fish

Funny you mention that. The Santini tubes come with a cutout, but I do the same to other tubes as well.
And, no seaworms? Stuff a piece of sponge or cotton in there and give it a shot of seaworm potion or pogie oil as you mentioned. Killer!!!!!
