Before I opened this topic they are one of the first ones I thought about. I have never used the Armor Tube, but have used the 3D Armour Crawler( trick worm style) and they do last longer. They are also harder to get off the hook. I think these might be what you are looking for. Also, if yo are using them weighted, try the Z Man Elaztech Zinkers. But just know they are much more buoyant.
