not sure if this has been asked, but do most of you use the F/F rig or a 3 way swivel sorry

I use a FF, don't want line wrap.
I set it up the same way as other rigs, just use higher test mono for the FF to ride on and steel at the end.

ok understand that and F/F is what I'm rigged-up wth too, but I have been having 1 problem when casting the F/F rig, seems as I cast, my weight slides way up the line and "shortens" my cast(for lack of a better word) I've even tried a stopper knot on the leader @3' above the weight on the F/F rig but that didn't help much. thats wahy I was thinking a 3 way swivel(I got plenty of those) then you have a fixxed length leader. I dunno' maybe I'm just trying to find excusses NOT to-go to BPS today

Randy - i've had that happen to (seen the weight and bait separate as it sailed out - which shortance distance. However, this should be minimized with shark rigs - since you'll most likely be using a rub leader for the FF to slide on - and that rub leader will have a swivel (most likely) on both ends - so the weight can only slide as far as the swivel (max 4-5 feet for my rigs)
