I still like to use the lead/tubbing. Using a #7 snap swivel I tie the mainline and litre to either end of the barrel swivel and then attache the tubing to the snap. This has worked great for me over the years and I like the ability to trim the weight to the exact amount. It's also easy to change.

I've never liked sliding weights as I figure knots get enough abuse. Not sure if it has cost me many fish though????
