Yes, tie them in. Do that with Gemini Neoprene Tubing as shown in the pic below. Hard to explain how to do that in words, but you put the trace line through a length of cut tubing (say 5mm), then take the end of the trace around in a circle and stick it through a second time. When you pull the trace line tight, you create a sliding bit of tubing as shown just above the little green bead. It will keep the floats and beads wherever you want them. This particular design caught a 7.5kg snapper last March, but any old float of any colour will do the job, in my opinion. Your rig doesn't have to look this pretty .
