Jason, the basic rule for all terminal tackle is keep it simple. The more you incorporate in the trace, the more it is likely to tangle. For "scratching" rigs, which will be using size 4 or six hooks, tie a quick release snood clip, like a genie clip, on the bottom of the trace. This enables weights to be changed very easily and quickly, tie a good swivel to the top of the trace, this should really clip onto another genie type link on your mainline. This second genie will allow quick changes of rigs, in case hook legth snap, or become tangled.
Flowing traces are simpler. Use a hook on the point of the trace, then a couple of droppers up the trace, ending in a swivel, at the top of the trace. Put a boom on the mainline, tying a genie type clip at the end of the mono, this allows easy changing of rigs.
I'll post some pics when I have time...working too much at the minute!!!!!
