psst... i can show ya a lil trick that ends all those little aches and pains... cut a 2" chunk of surgical tubing and put it on your mainline BEFORE your swivel. next cut a 2 inch chunk of lead line(not the hollow), spit in your surgical tubing in the field and simply slip your lead line into the tubing against your mainline just about 1 inch and adjust it 3 inches above your snap swivel. after you install your lead, pull on your line to make it lay straight against the lead in the tubing. This works VERY well for those snaggy spots and ends the aggrevation of losing swivels, and your bait plus its auto adjustable up and down your mainline for deep and shallow spots. we all snag, and i've learned, that its much better to simply replace a 2 inch section of lead rather than the lead, rubber tubing, swivel, leader and bait. you WILL spend more time fishing and LESS time rigging. try it and let me know how brilliant it worked for you. now git ta fishing! you can thank me later. click the link below for a picture of how it should look. smile http://www.members.aol.com/crappienibbles/lead.jpg
