Better than sleeping in. Question though. What kind of rig is that? Are you using a steel leader and a mono leader?

Are you using a steel leader and a mono leader?It is a metal leader(In the event the blues come around.) The mono is from the hook that I attach up higher through the swivel eye. Probably not the best set up but I can feel the hits better and less worries about being bitten off which seems to happen a lot....I'm still a novice at this form of angling.

So the only thing that ties the hook to the mainline is mono? I don't see the point of the metal if it's not attached to the hook. Not trying to knock you or anything, I just don't understand it.

So the only thing that ties the hook to the mainline is mono? I don't see the point of the metal if it's not attached to the hook. Not trying to knock you or anything, I just don't understand it. I use Braid over mono on my reel. The braid is attached to the metal leader on the top swivel, sinker going on the snap at the bottom. I run the mono leader for hook off of the swivel eye for the metal leader. If, I'm bit off, it's just the hook and not both hook and sinker. Puts the hook befor the sinker so I feel the hits better through the braid as well. Hope that all makes sense...

I'd swear my catch ratio went up when I switched over and started using them. It puts the sinker before your swivel and allows the line to move freely through the slide, increasing sensitivity and I believe less spooking fish from them feeling the weight.
