Will be the 1st time ever used them, always been on lead clips. 

This 1 is my combi loop rig setup. 

I've used very similar hook links like that to my run rigs. But I haven't used tubing on the mainline. Just naked line to a  run rig rubber bead with swivel inside. 

Good luck on your next session.

Just giving it ago 1st with tubing see how it goes, also it's safety for the fish just incase it rolls.

I used to fish running leads a fair bit ... personally I wouldn't use a  lead smaller than 3 ounce , as you want  it to stay put ,  also the least friction as possible so ditch the tubing no need for it mate .

I've purchased some 2.5oz leads as it will be no further than a 40yrd cast, may try 1 with and 1 without based on people's comments and feedback 👍

Not about distance on the cast... but a true running rig you need the lead not to move on the pick up so 3 - 4 ounce lead is what you need .
