    1 to 3 bobber stoppers above and below the weight…easily adjusted. One knot. Amount of weight totally depends on cover and depth. Bobber stoppers are dirt cheap on Amazon.

    This is the way I do it. I'll also do the same with a T rig sometimes. Can turn it in to a CR or back to a T rig on the fly.

    Same. I keep them pre-tied on a leader keeper, like Lindy sells.

    Three knots with a bobber stop, weight, brass clacker, then the swivel. No bead, I feel like they crack and fray the line easier.

    Three knots and 1 oz. I want it on the bottom so why wait around for a ½ oz. to get there?
    I have used a C keeper for lighter weight and smaller baits...sort of like a split shot rig, but not often.
    Don't worry Ma'am....
    I'm only here for the
    Bass.

    3 knots. You can tie all 3 in a Palomar if you tie leader to swivel first

    3 knots, always have a tube prerigged with about a dozen leaders with swivels and use a snap on my main line. Quick to change out leaders and just retie the snap knot when needed.

    Carolina keeper does fine. If you are using a heavier weight, just use two keepers.

    3 Knots. 1/2 oz. weight. 2 clear faceted beads. Mono Leader. Spro Swivel. Mainly a 5/0 Offset Round Bend. Assorted baits. If I am throwing it for spots I use a 3/0 Round bend. 16lb Fluoro main line. I really like using the Reins Tungsten weights with the insert. NRX CRR rod.

    C keepers work but for heavy weights you need 2 of them

    3 knots for me.

    I have the Carolina keeper a try. Didn’t work for me.


    Possibly the reason, I always use a one ounce weight.

    Smaller weights may work with it.
