Most use lead at the fingers too as most of those fish are in the upper water column. Only use wire for spoons and a custom rod. Only once in a while if I get frustrated do I use wire for tubes out there. I think sink rates have so many variables, tide speed, ability of boat to go slow,wind, current direction, that every boat is different. I would think wire will sink deeper as it has less resistance due to dia. and smoothness of wire to dacron encrusted lead. Plus as I am sure you will agree it is just more fun with lead compared to wire as far as the fight goes. Does suck with lead though when a bluefish chomps you line in half at 4 colors with your favorite tube on the lost end.
