No, if my hook gets snagged I want to be able to break off my leader and keep my C-rig weight setup. I also like the feel of braid, so I fish braid to floro leader. 30lb braid to 12lb leader fo most applications.


If you're using good stops or even double stops you'll still only break off the hook and get your weights etc back

What brand/kind of stops are you using that will stay put. I can't find one that doesn't slip on the line.

I use the following on my C-rigs...

Diawa Tatula 7'6" H
Braided main line = 50 lb
Spro Power Swivel = Size 8
Sunline Sniper = 16 lb
1/2 Tg weight
Glass bead

I find this allows me to get free many times without breaking off and gives me the power on my hooksets to drive the bait home. I find it best to use this setup in the wind, but I'm starting to throw it more often that I realize.

I use the carolina keepers. When throwing 3/4 or 1 ounce i'll use two of them.

Cool thread.
I sometimes throw it into dense cover areas that nobody -hopefully-thinks to use it in.
I like the keepers as well just as you said jbw3.

Maybe it's the way I jerk but any time I use a glass bead with a tungsten weight the weight breaks the bead & cuts my line on the hookset. I was pitching at a fish on a bed with a 1/4 oz tungsten weight & a red glass bead. The fish bites & I set the hook. It was like someone cut my line with scissors. I re-rigged & did the same thing again.

I didn't realize what was happening until I set the hook & got half a bead back on my line. The piece I got back had a razor sharp edge. I started using two tungsten weights instead. I like a bullet weight on first then a barrel weight. The two tungsten weights hitting each other are very loud. Typically I use a 1/4 oz bullet & a 3/4 oz barrel.

Mark Davis has warned to never use a glass bead for the reason you stated. He also says tungsten gets "locked up" in rocks worse than lead, which is soft enough to give and come free.

Same here. I also use a Lindy No Snag banana weight between two Carolina Keepers. Then put on a floating bullet style weight (floats actually) above the hook and peg it. Hook with some beef to it and a plastic, usually a lizard. This way, you only have one not in the chain.

no

Not here either. The great thing about a properly rigged Carolina setup is the swivel and sliding weight. It is almost like a weightless presentation to the fish. They can pick up the bait and not feel the weight. Probably more natural feeling. If fish even can feel. Haha. I dunno.

Or just use two bobber stops under the weight instead of a swivel.

Agreed 100% Nix the bobber stops, tie good knots and carry on.
