had alot of succes with a 2oz lumo egg sinker on leader then bead tied directly to hook with a loop knot,for a ledger rig i use a three way swivel trace has to be tied at swivel and hook ends with loop knots i think the secret is the loop knots as this allows the soft bait to swing in the current more freely also ad a float on hook end soft baits used are 5" nuclear chicken jerk shad,2"peeler crabs natural and blue pepper neon
