Tom I used tubes almost exclusively in bluewater and inshore fishing for about 2 years. With 80 percent or more of the material tied on top, it will fish upright. I can send you a pick if you'd like. Doesn't matter if it's synthetic or natural, plastic tube or metal. Just pay attention to material distribution around the tube.
