what I do is use a weight at the end of my line then come up 2-3 feet and put a snap swivel on. Then hook one of the cheapy pre-tied leaders on it. This way it gets it up off the bottom, makes the bites more visible because they aren't pulling weight too, plus if they swallow the hook I just snap the hook off and put another cheap leader on.
Works for me!! laugh
trying to get this signature line to work
