Here is what I have done with good success.

Put a small snap swivel on the main line. Then put a small bead on. Tie the main line to a good quality swivel and then tie the leader to the other side of the swivel.
I then attach a slinky weight to the snap on the swivel.

Since slinky weights very seldom hang up I don't tend to lose much terminal tackle. I started doing this one day on the Carbon while fishing for kings a few years ago. I instantly doubled my hooked to bottom setting ratio by almost double. IE: Half as many hooksets on rocks/twice as many hooksets on fish.

After doing this for an hour and hooking (legally in the mouth) 15 fish to my buddies 1 he switched over and had similar results. Of course most of those fish got away as they were just too big to stop once they headed downriver. We did get two nice chrome fish each though.
