I like running rigs for method feeders, i always seem to have a better hook ups with running rigs.

I am sure it works, but I'd rather it to be above the lead for the added safety of not descaling the fish

I like bolt rigs but both work. I occasionally use a running rig but always have a rubber stop on the line about 2 feet up for an added umph when that lead hits that stop. I feel more confident knowing that the fish is hooked good before I even pick up the rod

Jesse, you can crimp a splitshot above your lead to act as a stop for the weight. Right above it will be an immediate 'bolt', or 1 to 2 feet above it (as Scott mentioned) will give the effect of setting the hook as the fish is moving with the bait when the lead reaches the 'stop'.
I hope that makes sense!
