Carolina Rig ?

[Catt]

Do any of y'all use Carolina Shortcut Rigs or Carolina Keepers?  :-/

I use the Carolina keepers.  I like them when I need to quick rig a rod, but the biggest problem I have had is if the keeper gets snagged a little, it will slide on the line shortening the length of your leader on that cast.  I like that fact that by reducing the number of knots, it reduces my chances of screwing one up and losing a fish on a failed knot.

I use the keeper and like it alot. If you have the problem of it sliding down the line, just add another one. I alos like th efact of eliminating knots.

The one thing I don't care for is that you are limited to the fact of having the same lb test on leader and main line. there are times when I like to go a little lighter on the leader. Then I am back to the swviel/knot.

I don;t care for the shortcut as I feel the fish can feel the weight when they pick up the plastic and walk off. Iprefer it to be free flowing.

Any problems with line twist when using the keepers?  Got a friend that uses them and he doesn't complain about it, just looks like it could happen.  Thanks
