what do you guys use for the head of the tube?? I went to a handful of tackle shops today to try and find something that looked like a weighted swivel or a weighted leader...

best i could come up with was a swivel, egg sinker, leader wire, and alot of frustration trying to get the knot on the swivel close enough to the tube so that its nice and snug.

I think a trolling (tube shaped) sinker would work fine. If bass hit eels head on usually I would want my hook up close to the front. This is assuming you want to try some from the surf. A lot more durable than most plastic/rubber.

Trolling ... the end hook seems to catch.

Good health and family
