I run 3' leader, two garlic power eggs on a sliding sinker. I have only been skunked once doing this. I add some sort to extras scent to the eggs but I think its just extra. I have caught a few bass on tubes, really fun, cast it out, let it sink and reel it in dragging/bouncing off the bottom, they hit it hard. I'm not bass expert but this has worked for me at hagg and the Multnomah channel. I have luck closer to boat ramp c.
