I used to use a short weight leader down below longview and long one up at bonneville with the exact opposite bait leader. Sliders are ok when down in sandy places but when you're in rocky country they're no good. We always used teardrop weights and put nails in them when they had trouble holding. Tie your mainline to the opposite end of the barrel swivel than you normaly would and hook your weight to the snap, and tie leader to the other end of the barrel.
