A few things to try.
Instead of a regular tube jig head, try using a Carolina rig with a floating jig head in the tube or a1/0 or 2/0 worm hook with a hunk of styrofoam peanut stuffed in the tube. The weight for the carolina rig will keep the rig on the bottom but the tube will stay up off the bottom.
If you are a scent user, stuff a few hunks of rock salt in the tube with a piece of cotton ball behind it to keep it inside. The cotton will allow the salt to disolve and escape for the tube. I have a buddy who stuffs a quashed garlic clove in his tubes.

How long a leader are you using for that floating carolina rig on BL?
I like crushed garlic on my pizza, but that might be a good thing to try when tubing too. It would definitely last longer than those spray on scents.

It would definitely last longer than those spray on scents. Any where from 16"- 24" long if I'm drifting in the "light" breeze that's usually on Black. If it's calmer, I'll shorten up to 12" - 16"

Are you using the Carolina rig near rocks or weedbeds or just as you drift on the mild BL breeze?? I've used them near rocky points and done ok, casting not carolina rigging.

If I'm on rock I cast them. To many snags on a carolina. I'll use the carolina in Lonesome bay drifting the eastern side along the ledge and on out to the graveyard. Usually good an eye or 2. For the most part, I do best casting. On Black, a pump and rest work best for me. Sometimes just give a slight twitch while it's resting but they usually pick it up as it's sitting.
