I run a modified 3 way rig. Reg barrel swivel ( not 3 way Style) with 2 leaders 18-24� length tied to bottom eye of barrel swivel. One with a 2 ounce bank sinker and the other a 8/0-10/0 Catmaxx circle hook with 2� peg float about 4� above the hook. - you can see the 2 leaders in the first pic as hook is still in fish mouth and my sinker is in the net - but peg float got pushed up the leader fighting or netting the fish.



I�m gonna switch half the rods over to slinky drift weights with the drift weight clipped to the barrel swivel and 24-36� hook leaders with peg float and see how that does. I�ll be able to change slinky to bank sinker if needed.
Like this:




I don�t use sinker slides (or Santee Cooper Rig) because when anchored and boat rocking I�ve had the peg float raise bait to surface even in 10� FOW (esp if just a piece of fillet on hook).........plus I run braid and have had braid cut thru the plastic slide part over time.

I tie up a Paternoster rig. Most people call it a Kentucky rig. I put a weight at the bottom, then tie two hooks above it on dropper loops. Basically like fishing for snapper.

This is my go to rig. I make my own weights. Santee rig and I vary on leader length

Poppa I thought I was the only one had trouble with rig floating to top gonna try your rig

Are those bb�s in the clear tubing? Pretty cool! I�ve seen various versions of that.

Yes they are. Simple and cheap

Draggin' Tails we call'em.

I built some of the long weights that Chris Sounders uses in his drifting. I think they will make a difference in my hang ups.

How much weight do you use when you drift?

1.5 - 2 ounces

why are the Youtube Videos not showing now?

Thanks! Good video too.
